- BI just published an investigation into special-education-focused schools owned by PE firms.
- Cost-cutting to maximize profits has some saying that quality has suffered.
- It's an important story you should read.
My colleague Meghan Morris just published an investigation into what happened to a chain of special-education-focused private schools when a private-equity firm took over.
As you might guess, it wasn't all good.
It's an important story because, unlike an investment in, say, a button factory or a call center, this company has a lot of power over some of our most vulnerable young people.
