There were plenty of other kids in the district who could benefit from having an aide or help with homework but this one kid got all the attention because of his bad temper just because he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. I think he should have had to have gone to school for violent students instead of making the state pay for his own personal assistant when it wasn't even necessary.

I respectfully disagree.

With all of that being said I do hope the school is able to recoup their money. Also PA needs to look at the law that gives gifted children the same rights as children covered under IDEA.

But for 80K, you could have built a new classroom with a bathroom!
