- Authors
Doutre, Sara Menlove; Willis, Jason
- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic and financial declines have impacted and will continue to impact state revenue availability for public education, including funds for special education. • While protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) make special education funding less susceptible to budget cuts, they are not fully immune. • State and district special education leadersmust balance declining state and local revenues with meeting the requirements of IDEA and protecting the rights of students with disabilities.
