What dismantling the Education Department means for kids with disabilities

Image comparison of two aerial images. West University Place showing a gridded street network with lots of trees and new housing vs. Katy TX which is full of cul-de-sacs and single family housing too.

West University Place and Katy are both within the Houston metro area, yet these single-family cities have vastly different densities.
