All school districts are mandated to provide services to children with disabilities under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The IDEA mandates that states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education, and related services to students. Schools receive additional per pupil funding for students with disabilities. District report cards reveal that, among peer districts, Spartanburg Districts 1 and 3 have the highest proportion of students with disabilities. However, when averaged by county, Greenville serves the most students with disabilities, followed by Spartanburg, Richland, and Charleston.
