Third, SPED services. Most private schools do not provide SPED services. You will have a rash of lawsuits that say that if a private school accepts public funds, it must meet the same criteria and offer the same services as public schools. This includes the "mild to moderate" SPED students who must be in regular ed classrooms to fulfill the "least restrictive environment" rule from the Disabilities Education Act.
From my understanding, the private schools will still have the ability to pick and choose. I think the option is if you are able to get into the private school, you have this monetary option to assist. I would doubt if a private school would spend the enormous resources to start a Sped dept to add some kids would in truth wouldn’t bring anything to the table for the school.

Very true, for now. Like I said, with the public funds coming in, you will see lawsuits. How many private schools want to spend millions defending their enrollment practices and available programs?
