Maybe the administrators need special ed

"The D.C. school system received 3,044 requests for hearings in cases where it allegedly failed to provide required services, compared with 2,831 such requests filed in [the entire state of] California. The District has about 11,700 special education students, and California about 670,000."

"The audit also found that as a result of a lack of in-house programs, the school system sent thousands of students to private schools last fiscal year, costing a total of $102 million, or an average $52,632 per student, for tuition and related special education services, far more than the national average."
