The days of unbiased journalism are gone, I'm afraid. <br />I am a student at Century College as well as a mother of an autistic son just entering the public school system. I am working on a project in my PoliSci class that I can loosely state like this:<br />The number of children in MN being diagnosed with autism is still rising. What can our schools do to fund this? What problems currently exist due to lack of funding? How, besides cross subsidy (taking from the general education fund to use for special ed since the federal government is not living up to it's duty to fund the majority of special ed costs) are our districts dealing with this?How is this affecting parents and students? <br />I am appalled at the lack of reports, articles, and studies on this subject. The state must find ways to solve this problem. <br />I'd appreciate any comment you have on this, or any ideas you have as well as ideas to fix it. <br />Thank you,<br />AnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818953496807253842noreply@blogger.com
