Barbara Boxer: “In the State of California, approximately one-fourth of 1 percent of all people eligible for special education are…”

On the recordMay 13, 1997
In the State of California, approximately one-fourth of 1 percent of all people eligible for special education are convicted of felonies as adults and incarcerated in adult prisons. It is my understanding that under this bill, if California does not provide special education services in prisons it stands to lose only one-fourth of 1 percent of its allotted share. California would no longer face the possible loss of 100 percent of its allotted special education funds.
