Special Education in the City: How Has the Money Been Spent and What Do We Have To Show for It?
Parrish, Thomas B.; Bitter, Catherine Sousa
Journal of Special Education Leadership, v16 n1 p34-40 May 2003

A paradigm is presented that quantifies a measure of student need, ties school allocations to student needs, tracks actual expenditures on special education, and links those expenditures to quantifiable measures of student results.
