Out of District Placement for SPED

Hi all - just curious if any other districts are getting hammered by costs of placing Special Education students out of district.  If so, do you have any creative ideas on how to remediate costs?  This topic single-handedly caused us to have to break the tax cap this year with our budget.  Going forward we are going to try to put the necessary resources in place to bring some of these kids back in house, and perhaps even turn it into a revenue stream by accepting other schools' kids.  But I'm really curious as to how pervasive this issue is around the state.  Thanks in advance for your comments
