High-quality special education is very effective and enormously expensive. Under federal law, parents are entitled to public financing to pay for private school tuition if local public schools are unable to meet their children’s needs. However, this help is available only on a reimbursement basis.
The Society’s Special Education Bridge Loan Program lends money to parents entitled to government funding, thus enabling low- and moderate-income parents to pay tuition to schools that provide the help their children desperately need. These bridge loans of up to $30,000 pay for that portion of Jewish day school special education tuition allocable to secular studies. They are repaid with government reimbursement proceeds. |
