 \nTo shine a brighter light on this vital question,we have conducted a careful study of the fundingsurrounding the education of students with disabilities in public charter schools using data fromfiscal year 2018 in 18 cities where charters hold a substantial share of K-12 education enrollment.This report provides a summary of our findings.Additional details regarding how special educationservices are provided to students with disabilities in each of our 18 cities are provided in a separateAppendix of City Snapshots.  \nAs public schools,charter schools must adhere to the same federal legal requirements as theirtraditional public school (TPS)counterparts.When charters are their own local education agency(LEA),the charters themselves ultimately are responsible for ensuring that students with disabilitiesreceive the special education and related services and supports to which they are entitled under thelaw.When charters are part of another LEA,through their home district or state,the other entity isultimately responsible for providing services to students who have disabilities.These key realitiesare part of the context of how funding for special education flows to public charter schools acrossthe country.  \nThe main findings from our 18-city study are the following:  \n·Disparities in spending on students with","cbCail8Q6mwo0VpF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail8Q6mwo0VpF","pdf",676927,28,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Purpose and study design\n## Legal responsibilities and funding context\n## Key findings from the 18-city study\n## Implications for students and policy supports","[{\"question\":\"What question does the executive summary focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses whether public charter schools are as receptive to enrolling students with disabilities as they are to serving students without disabilities, and whether enrollment differences explain funding differences between charter and traditional public schools.\"},{\"question\":\"What data and geographic scope does the study use?\",\"answer\":\"The report uses fiscal year 2018 data from 18 cities where charter schools have a substantial share of K-12 enrollment.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main findings about funding disparities and disability enrollment?\",\"answer\":\"Spending disparities for students with disabilities account for 39% of the average per-pupil charter funding gap, while 61% is not explained by special education enrollment differences.
