I forgot something rather important and expensive- the added materials for the low classes. They usually need special materials, since the ones for the regular classes are above their abilities- textbooks are quite expensive, and with our lower students we often need supplementary materials as well- workbooks, taped books, books written in Spanish, etc.

edit- and something else. Remediation classes are often capped at 20- where normal high school classes can go over 30- that means you need even more rooms and more teachers to teach them, because you'll have more classes for remedial classes than you will for regular ed classes with higher enrollment figures per class (assuming you're cutting something that HAS a high enrollment- like geography, and not something with a low enrollment, like an AP class.)
