A Review of the Outcomes to Date of the Special Education Transportation Pilot Program
August 2008
The University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute was engaged by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to review the outcomes to date of the Special Education Transportation Pilot Program. The pilot program, begun in FY06, was designed to test the concept that the transportation of students to out-of-district placements can be provided at a lower cost and with improved quality of service by delegating the planning and contracting for such transportation to educational collaboratives.
