If funding problems sound familiar to readers, rest assured that you are not alone. And it’s not just a problem in the US. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, special education funding in Quebec is likely to be reduced, too.
Ottawa’s special needs students are likely to face the brunt of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s $32-million budget shortfall.
The board released a series of staff recommendations Wednesday that include cutting nearly 50 teaching and support positions to balance its budget.
“There are proposed cuts in other areas of the budget but special education is certainly affected to a considerable degree,” said school district chair Lynn Graham.
