John,

I didn't say that salaries and benfits were not a significant factor. When they comprise 80-85% of your budget, they by definition are significant. As to privates taking kids with IEP's, while I don;t have access to the data, I'd submit to you that the private schools ratio of IEP to non-IEP students is quite small. I agree that behavorial problem kids miost likely would not apply there but you say that the IEP follows the student there. But Hendricken, and other privates, are "..not legally required to follow .. (IEP) plans commonly used inthe public schools.." This comes directly from the 'Learning Differences" link on Hendricken's websitewebsite. http://www.hendricken.com/academics/LearningDifferences. Some good reading there..About the only accommodations they'll make are moving a student to the front of the class or give them extra time for tests and if the parents are seeking accommodations, they must provide them with an educational eval and a neuropsych eval. That's a pretty high hurdle. My only point is that the privates don't take therse kids on anywhere near the ratios of the publics. More services = more expense to educate the child.
