Even with special needs faculty support there will still be disruptions when a student needs to be removed from the classroom.  It will be every other student's focus instead of academics.  Disruptions due to behavioral issues taxes an ASD faculty that are already teaching everything under the sun with a poor student/teacher ratio now.  More stress and the rest of the class suffers.  It is a proven fact that focused students, without interruptions, learn at a better and smoother pace.  Is it fair to handicap the rest of the students at these four schools?  I think the pressure on the special needs children will also be extremely difficult.  Their environment will no longer be set up in the best manner for their needs.  This move helps none of the children that ASD is supposed to be doing their best for.
