Yup. This is what happens when we de-fund all the schools. You can't blame them for caring about the bottom line, they have to.

One of the worst things a district can end up with is a blind kid in the neighborhood, because it's generally accepted that they get to go to a blind school, there's no way the school can hire a part time flunky at $10 an hour to cover it. The public school pays the tuition for the blind kid to go to the $30,000 per year school.

I know all this because I have a friend with a kid who is autistic and blind, and the school was arguing that she wouldn't get anything out of the blind school because of her other impairments, therefore they shouldn't have to pay for it. It's always, always about the money.
