Library Services And Technology Act - Alaska State Library rates have been done in alaska, the Division need to consider in serving alaskans with special needs. to materials in appropriate formats to disabled alaskans. http://www.library.state.ak.us/pub/longrange.html
Extractions: This plan was prepared in accordance with Public Law 104-208, the Library Services and Technology Act of 1996. Its purpose is to comply with Section 224 (b), and to show how funds under the Act will contribute to meeting library needs in the state. The plan has been written and reviewed by the Alaska State Library with the advice of the Governors Advisory Council on Libraries. It includes goals and priorities aimed at enhancing electronic access to information, sharing resources among libraries, and improving the delivery of library services to underserved populations. Also detailed are the activities and programs the State Library will implement to accomplish these goals and the policies and procedures for evaluation of these programs. The overall goal of the State Library program is to assure access for all Alaskans to the library resources necessary to meet informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs.

Extractions: Administration and Cost of Elections Project Voter Education Prev Index ... Next In every election, and indeed in every possible voter education programme, there are special groups who require particular attention. There are certain groups that have emerged with some frequency. These groups include: Their listing here should not blind educators to the possibility that there might be other groups that require special attention. These groups will vary from country to country. As societies become more atomised by progress, and more conscious of the special needs and human rights of groups as opposed to individuals, it is likely that more groups will be identified. In transitional circumstances, the interests of certain groups will be identified more closely, and these groups will merit special attention during elections. The rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, for example, resulted in large numbers of "emigre" Cambodians who had to be accommodated in elections supervised by the United Nations. In the case of Bosnia, the Dayton Accords required that refugees and internally displace persons by accomodated in elections organized by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The founding democratic elections in South Africa were deemed to be fully inclusive, and arrangements had to be made for a

Extractions: The Roadless Area Conservation Rule, adopted by the U.S. Forest Service just before President Bush took office, protects the remaining 58.5 million acres of undeveloped national forest lands, including almost 19 million acres in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. However, it is a priority of the timber, mining, oil, and gas industries, and thus of the Bush Administration, to reverse the rule. The Caribou-Targhee National Forest has already begun to test the legal uncertainties surrounding the Roadless Rule in Wyoming by permitting new roads and extractive exploration in the inventoried roadless area of Sage Creek. Earthjustice and Greater Yellowstone Coalition have lodged an administrative appeal, to be followed by litigation if the Forest Service rejects the appeal as expected. Retention of the Roadless Rule remains our best chance to give legal protection to the tiny percentage of our public lands that remain roadless, and thus pristine. Greater Yellowstone Coalition
SESA News Fall '96: Something's Happening identified more kids both nationwide and in alaska. say, ÒWe donÕt have any special needs kids in difficult to protect an obviously disabled studentÕs rights http://www.sesa.org/sesa/newsltr/fall96/ryan.html
Extractions: When children go to school they leave the comfort and protection of a home situation and enter an entirely new world. Most teachers are well trained, know what to expect of children, and try to help them succeed as individuals. However, sometimes a child doesnÕt seem to be learning as well as expected or behaves in such a way that the teacher needs help from specialists with advanced training. This is when the special education teacher is asked for advice and the parent(s) is asked to join the team in order to study how to help the child succeed. I have worked as a rural teacher in a small school and an administrator in rural Alaska since 1974 and I am often reminded of that refrain from an old Bob Dylan song whenever a teacher asks for help with a student. In my experience, most teachers resent labeling kids, want to avoid the hassle of a special education referral, assessment, child-study team meetings, parental permission to test, IEP meetings and the resentment, guilt, and anger generated by this system. It is not an easy process. I have worked in schools (districts) that purposely minimized referral and assessment out of an unspoken (certainly unwritten) conviction that special education identification does more harm than good. Or that the system doesnÕt and cannot really provide the resources for substantially improved services for rural kidsÑat least none that outweigh the stigmatization.

Extractions: Washington, D.C. - Alaska Congressman Don Young voted for passage of H.R. 2, The Student Results Act. H.R. 2 renews Title I, the largest federal program to help educate disadvantaged children. Included under Title I, is reauthorization of Native American and Alaskan education programs and Rural Education assistance. The bill passed by a vote of 358 to 67. We have students across Alaska that need specialized attention and assistance, without taking away from the education of all school children. What we dont want is two tiers of education, said Congressman Young. Young added This legislation builds the necessary core competencies to educate low-income and other special needs children to high standards. In Alaska in 1998, 19.7% of Alaskas school-age children were identified as being low income. In fact, the Title I program served 17,888 children in 144 targeted assistance projects and 61 school wide projects throughout Alaska. The Act strengthens accountability by ensuring that all students, including minority, disabled, and economically disadvantaged students, show increased academic achievement gains at the state, school district, and school levels.

The current proposal will be posted on Senator Green's site under her Op-Ed section at the address below http://www.akrepublicans.org/pastlegs/22ndleg/greenl.shtml#op-ed The Goal of Legislation: Maintain accountability for the school districts, schools and teachers by continuing to require the exam. Create another path for students to receive a diploma, i.e. solve the current situation where the state is facing the probability that a large number of high school students will fail the High School Graduation Qualifying Exam (HSGQE) and not receive a diploma. Creating such a path will fortify the legal defensibility of the exam. Also, a goal is to provide an improved long-term system for testing students and the quality of their education, while also providing an incentive to do well on the exams and in school.
