Georgia's Special Ed Programs Questioned


ATLANTA -- Georgia's Department of Education is pouring millions into a program for the most emotionally disturbed students, but there is little evidence the special attention is helping, according to a state audit.

Across the state, the program's 24 branches offer instruction in special classrooms at select schools or at off-site locations.
