Please advise as to 
A) the number of children with disabilities that MSD serves, and 
B) the cost of providing that service.

Currently, the government spending on K-12 schools in the United States
is higher than in any other developed country (average per-pupil cost of
$6,857). I looked at the MSD's 2001 expense report. The average spending
in MSD is right at $8,000 per student -- 17% higher than the national
average.  Yet 9-and-13-year-old American students rank last in
mathematics and science among students from the seven large countries
that administered the most recent International Assessment of Education
Progress.

Are you willing to concede that this is all because of children with
disabilities?
