Message: From GoLocalProv by Paul J. Spetrini, GoLocalProv News Editor: When State Representative Dennis Canario introduced a bill last week that called for a cap on the percentage by which private educational service providers such as the Groden Center and Bradley Hospital could seek an annual increase in payments from school departments, he said that students with disabilities and special needs “should never be the victims of budget problems in a community.” But according to Rhode Island Department of Education Commission Debra Gist, the state is already addressing the issue of rising costs in special education and the initiatives it has proposed in recent years have not only served the needs of the students in question but brought costs down in the process. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/gist-says-state-working-to-lower-special-education-costs
