Special Education Students and Charter Schools

Not much here but a table. The table lists the number and percentage of public and charter districts that enroll at least 1 student in each special education category. It appears to me that fewer charter districts enroll the most difficult and costly to instruct special education students. For example, 40% of public districts in Texas enroll at least one student with traumatic brain injury. Only 7% of charter districts enroll such children. Almost 59% of public districts have visually impaired children while only 7% of charter districts have such children. In all but two categories, a greater percentage of public districts enrolled students in the specific category than charter districts.
