$12B for Special Education

The stimulus bill agreed to by House and Senate leaders includes $12.2 billion for special education over fiscal years 2009 and 2010! Educators our saying the stimulus money for special education will create jobs by encouraging more to become special education teachers. It will also strengthen the current program so students don't drop out of high school and they'll possibly go onto college and land good jobs. Fifty-four million Americans, roughly 1 in 6, personally experience some form of disability, therefore, this move made my President Obama is awesome!

    After reading this, I really am contemplating changing my major to sped!!! I'm concerned about having a job after college and all eled majors face so much competition because of all of the people choosing elementary teaching as a profession.
