Abstract

Tennessee data were analyzed longitudinally from 1979-80 to 1987-88 in terms of numbers of children placed in a variety of service options. In 1983-84, the Tennessee funding formula was changed from a "flat" rate to a "weighted" formula. The weighted formula was associated with a statistically significant decrease in less restrictive placements and a reliable increase in more restrictive placements. A statewide survey of district special education directors suggested that service needs may have been more likely than monetary incentives to explain the observed changes.

“平”与“加权”补偿公式:对全州特殊教育资助实践的纵向分析。

田纳西州的数据从1979-80年到1987-88年进行了纵向分析，分析了被安置在各种服务选择中的儿童人数。1983-84年，田纳西州的拨款公式从“统一”费率改为“加权”费率。加权公式与限制性较少的位置的统计显着减少和限制性较多的位置的可靠增加有关。一项全州范围内对地区特殊教育主管的调查表明，服务需求可能比金钱激励更能解释观察到的变化。
