Скачать или смотреть The Funding Gap 50 Years After IDEA Why Special Ed is Still Under Resourced

This week, we pull a powerful moment from our full 50 Years of IDEA A Legacy Panel episode. A MAASE leader reveals the stark reality of the federal government's promise to fund 40% of special education costs a promise that has never materialized and now falls below 10%.

The conversation explores the impossible choices administrators face when managing competing budgets and the direct correlation between this funding shortfall and the ongoing special education staffing crisis. You'll hear the staggering statistic up to 6,000 certified special education jobs were unfulfilled this year in Michigan alone.

Tune in to this clip to understand why sustainable funding is the critical fight for the next 50 years of IDEA and listen to the full episode to hear the legacy panel discuss the history evolution and future of special education.
