San Diego schools are experiencing a surge in special education enrollment, according to the latest episode of the VOSD Podcast. At the same time, there are fewer kids enrolled at local schools today than 10 years ago, resulting in a drop in funding for many schools.
Pressure on Schools
The federal government had promised to help schools with the cost of special education, but it remains to be seen if this promise will be fulfilled. This development puts additional pressure on schools, which are already struggling to cope with the changing enrollment landscape.
In other news, the federal government is moving forward with a plan to restore sand to Oceanside’s beaches, 75 years after they admitted that their jetties were contributing to the erosion of the city’s beaches.
