Missouri: Bills would provide aid for disabled students to switch schools
“The fears that it’s the camel’s nose under the tent (for) a mass exodus from our public schools is not founded,” Rupp said.
Former state Board of Education member Tom Davis, who also has a grandson with autism, told senators that state aid allowing parents to transfer their children elsewhere may not be the best way to help children. The main problem is that there aren’t enough schools focusing on autistic students, he said.
“In some respects, you’re giving authority to parents to go to alternative places that currently don’t exist,” Davis said. “There is such a limited supply of credible therapies and schools that can provide these services adequately.”
He suggested lawmakers should provide state aid for public school districts to form consortium schools focusing on special-needs students.
