The cost of special education, where does it come from?

I do not know about Indiana but I do not see how inclusion can be cost effective. I am a teacher and right now I make about 42,500. I just got a raise but it was very small and I am not sure yet how much my actual annual income went up. My son has Asperger's disorder and because of the inclusion movement there is no appropriate cl for him at the high school where he was going. I pushed for a more appropriate setting for him and he is now going to a special education private school at the county's expense. The school costs 42,000 a year for each student attending there. If you think that one of the reasons they decided it was more cost effective is because they could do away with the special education clroom and the teacher that went with it then they are in the hole quite a bit. My son is one of about 50 in that school, more or less, most of which are attending at the county's expense. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
