[QUOTE="buddy, post: 514576, member: 12886"] OH sorry, it is not a residential facility. It is a district that is 100% special education. Districts from all around them contract with them to provide school for populations that they themselves do not have programs for. So they have programs for kids who are in jail, expectant moms, and low incidence disabilities/multiple diagnosis kinds of kids. But YES it is very expensive. My law advocate who has kids there that she represents says that the bills are over 100,000 per student. The staff to student ratio is very small (1:1 up to 4:1) and they have been doing it for a long time. They have only rented buildings all around the cities over the years. As rents went up they found it was cost effective to build their own building. When they decided to do that they decided to build it based on the populations they serve. So they will still have some rented sites, but their main new site that opens next fall (Q would start now if it is a fit) is a three story state of the art building. I read up on it and saw pictures of the construction, sketches, etc....really impressive. I was told that one of the rental places they have they have adapted in many ways to meet these same goals, so hopefully if we end up there (and it is closer) that building will be just as good. I am trying not to worry. It is the first time a suggestion has been made that doesn't make my stomach to in knots. I am getting pretty good at identifying those internal "gut" states. I know when I see it, there could be a change of heart, but for now.... I am holding on to hope. [/QUOTE]
