Session Notes:

Franklin held conducted a budget workshop on Monday, Jan 25, 2010. This is part eight of the session recording. Beth Fitzmaurice, Director of Special Education, covers the details of providing Special Education for the students in the Franklin School District picking up from the transportation costs from the prior segment to cover the variables of budgetary impact including the circuit breaker reimbursement process and ending with a great statement:

"Special ed is not in fact a sentence, it is an opportunity to provide some specialized education but there is a mechanism in the law to re-evaluate the child every three years, and to do a full battery of evaluation, to re-determine eligibility."
