Autism Schools & Special Education in Escondido

In California there is no voucher, no ESA, and no tax credit for private school - and yet California has one of the strongest private-school routes in the country, because districts fund nonpublic school placements through the IEP when a student needs one. Escondido is served by two districts, elementary and high school, and sits inside a San Diego County network that includes several autism-focused nonpublic schools. Here is how that actually works.
