January-February, 1999 No. 93 SENDING PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS By Jonathan Fox The untold story of special education O Upon greater scrutiny, this oft-repeated scenario does not hold up. For years, many students with the worst disabilities have attended private schools at partial or even full public expense. Far from abandoning the needs of special education students, the private sector is supplying what the public school system has failed to provide. More specifically, public school districts currently foot the bill for more than 100,000 special education students attending private schools at an estimated cost of $2 billion to taxpayers, according to U.S. Department of Education figures and industry estimates. In most of these cases, public schools have come to rely on specialized private schools to educate their toughest disability cases, when doing it themselves would be prohibitively expensive. "A voucher isn’t really the right analogy," says Mike Petrilli, program director of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, which supports education reform efforts from a conservative perspective. "It’s really closer to contracting, like the Edison Project," the for-profit school management company that manages more than 50 public and charter schools across the nation. "But it makes a lot of sense to contract out this function to a company that can pool its resources."
