Tango: Thats just kicking the can down the road w/o addressing the underlying problem that there are a small percentage of talmidim/talmidot who really cannot be integrated successfully (aka mainstreamed) into the regular yeshiva networks and the tzibur needs to offer some backstop for to poor parents of these kids who struggle to find an alternative to educate their children. I recall years ago, Kiryas Joel worked with one of the most outstanding litigators in the country (Nat Lewin) to argue for public funding of a special school district they established for their disabled children. Thats not an option in many other cases where the parents will not be willing to send their kids to special programs managed by the public school systems.
