My Aunt sent me a newspaper clipping about the renovated elementary school being open in her town of probably less than 3500 people.
The article said there are 370 students in grades K through 4. It also said, there are 12 students with Autism and 1 with language-based learning disabilities, although it's unclear if the 13 are included in the 370 figure.
12 with Autism struck me as high for only 370 students. Is this problem increasing?
