Here is a question asked recently - that I believe you all can answer better
than I!

On the discussion of "cost per student".  

Most programs provide a variety of literacy services (tutoring, GED class,
ESL, Family Literacy, etc.) some programs have a much larger $ cost per
student.  Family programs can be expensive.  I would like to find copies of
any research/studies that quantify the $$ cost now to the $$ saved later in
reduced cost of special education needs, reduction of welfare costs,
increased employability of parents, likelihood of success of children
involved, etc.  I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Any help from the peanut gallery?
