That would interesting and I appreciate your looking that up as I've never been able to find it. But remember that not every child on ADHD meds receives special education services through an IEP. I know that because my older child was on meds for many years, without an IEP. The school wasn't even aware that she took meds in high school as she was on an extended release Adderall. So if the school received even one penny for her taking those meds, I'd like to know who let the school know she was taking something to control her ADD. That would be a HUGE violation of doctor/patient privilege.

Now, do schools get money for students with IEP's? Yes, they do. Maybe that is the figure of which you speak. But look at your statement carefully

The local school that collects around $400 from the fed. gov. for each kid on these drugs. A 'disability' payout from the feds.

You don't mention IEP's, just kids on ADHD meds. That is the link I'd like to see. Proof of a direct payment of money from the feds to the schools for children on ADHD meds, regardless of any other status.

Thanks
