Poll: 57% of adults say protect federal special-ed funds

More than half of adults recently surveyed said they believe special education should be protected from federal cuts during budget negotiations over the so-called "fiscal cliff." Special education received more support from respondents than other education programs, including pre-kindergarten and college funding. The nationwide survey of 1,000 adults was conducted in December for the Committee for Education Funding and the Foundation for Education Investment.
