This article continues his survey of the possibilities of finding financial help with school and program tuition.) Two issues ago, in the first article in this series, I said, "Almost every client expresses some kind of 'sticker shock' when I first speak of the cost of special purpose schools and treatment centers," then went on to describe ways of offsetting these costs. In this article, I will describe accessing benefits from a basic health care plan in some detail. Again, it is important as you read this article that you use the information with caution. What follows should be taken as ballpark suggestions to explore, not as bottom line assertions as to what works.

Extractions: FY 1998 Budget Summary Request BA in millions The 1998 request includes $95 million for the Magnet Schools Assistance program, which makes grants to local educational agencies to operate magnet schools that are part of a court-ordered or federally approved desegregation plan to eliminate, reduce, or prevent minority group isolation in elementary and secondary schools. Magnet schools are highly popular with students, parents, and school districts; about 1.2 million students participated in magnet programs in 1991-92, more than three times the number enrolled in magnets a decade earlier. Despite this growth, there remains a significant unmet need for magnet programs, as indicated by waiting lists at roughly half of existing magnet schools. The request would enable the Department to make new three-year awards to approximately 60 local educational agencies, as well as the third and final year of Innovative Program grants, which involve desegregation strategies other than magnet schools and which are organized around a special theme or concept. (BA in millions) Request Grants to LEAs Program Administration Total The Department's Indian Education programs supplement the efforts of State and local educational agencies, and Indian tribes, to improve educational opportunities for Indian children. The program links these efforts to broader educational reforms underway in States and localities to ensure that Indian students benefit from those reforms and achieve to the same challenging academic standards as other students.

Extractions: Post-Crescent staff writer Freedom made the commitment to ensure all children equal access to a public education well before state and federal governments made it law in the early 1970s, he said. Yet, in times of tight budgets there is no denying the mounting cost of educating everyone from the blind, deaf and medically fragile to children with cognitive and emotional disabilities and speech delays. While Congress considers reauthorizing the 28-year-old law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), area school systems are picking up the bulk of the bill for an ever-growing number of special-education children. Two dozen Fox Valley school districts spent more than $62 million in district, state and federal dollars in the 2000-01 school year to educate 7,597 students with disabilities, according to the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. In the coming school year, Freedom, with a total enrollment of 1,590, will spend $1.9 million of its $12.2 million operational budget educating 215 children with disabilities.

Extractions: Broadcast: March 25, 2004 This is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English Education Report. Today we complete an eight-part series about learning disabilities. Such disorders interfere with skills like reading, writing or thinking. Students with learning disabilities are not considered slow learners. They are generally of average or above average intelligence. But many need help to succeed in school. In the United States, some students with learning disabilities are placed in classes called special education. The teachers have been trained as specialists and work with these students full time. Other students remain in traditional classes, but receive help from specialists. The parents of these students may like this way better. Or they may not have much choice. The movement in education is to include students with special needs in traditional classes, but to provide extra help. Yet limited school budgets often mean large classes and not as much individual help as parents would like. Another concern is students who need special instruction because they are extremely intelligent. Parents say they worry that the needs of these gifted students may not be met.

Extractions: Education is the key to independence and future success; it is critical to obtaining work, and affects how much money one can earn. Before the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1975, which granted all children with disabilities a free, appropriate public education, many children with disabilities did not attend school because the buildings or class activities were inaccessible. Even now, 22% of Americans with disabilities fail to graduate high school, compared to 9% of those without disabilities. The National Organization on Disability (N.O.D.) believes that with enforced legislation, accessible classrooms, the respect of educators, and advances in assistive technology, students with disabilities can close that gap, and offers resources and information to assist in that effort.
