I find that odd because often parents of deaf children have to fight
to get their kid sent to the deaf school - where for sure they'll get
the services they need. Yet the schools have issues with providing
services at all. What happens to the funding for special ed when it
goes to the schools?

district has a school for deaf children from preschool through 6th

kids have art, pe, music, computer lab and assemblies and some other
stuff together. There are 38 children in the school and it has its own
principal, 7 teachers with specialty masters degrees, a full-time
speech therapist, an audiologist, and 6 full-time aides. They have a
lot of specialized equipment. The district is spending roughly in the
neighborhood of $25,000 per year per child there, as compared to
regular classrooms where they are spending roughly $7,000 per year per
child.
