Thanks for the link Bullwinkle. Sorry I haven't responded to anyone who reached out; I quit reading after my last post because I was getting emotional, which is bad for discussing and bad for me.
I was thinking about the IEP plans after my post.
To Dick Wilson, if you understood about IEP plans you would understand what's being destroyed here. You can't understand the special needs situation by looking at it in the broad terms you present. You would have to actually learn something about how the programs work differently from regular school.
I came back to the topic to post results of a poll from the Kaua'i paper (Kauai World) that I ran across. While it is hardly a scientific study, I found it interesting. It's just a poll on the front page, not linked to an article on furloughs, so it's getting general readers.

punafish and malolo, I'll get back to you, tomorrow or Tuesday.
