"Probably the biggest chord she struck was her promise to advocate
for kids with disabilities."
Another lie:
"Sarah Palin Slashed Special Needs Education by 62%
For those of you who seem so enamored with Gov. Sarah Palin, it might
be worth noting that she oversees the budget for the Department of
Education and Early Development Special Schools in Alaska. These
funds provide supplementary educational services to students with
severe disabling conditions and the Alaska Challenge Youth Academy.
The resident school where the child would normally be placed does not
have the resources to provide an adequate educational program.
Without the supplementary services the child’s needs would not be met
by the local school district in most cases. "
The Annual budget for 2007, which preceded Gov. Palin was $8,265,300.
The Annual budget for 2008, enacted by Gov. Palin is $3,156,000.
The Annual budget for 2009, enacted by Gov. Palin is $3,156,000.
This is a cut in special needs services to children in Alaska of
5,109,300 , or 62%.
