Outside View: Hypocrisy In 'Hi Skool' - (United Press International) claim is made about the proposed voucher program for students in the district of columbia, where the If it helps the disabled, they hide behind due process. http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040401-033135-1714r.htm
Extractions: In 2004, however, three Utah legislators exposed these arguments for what they are by sponsoring a refundable tuition tax credit for "special needs" students. Although the exact language varies from state to state, the arguments against parental choice are always the same. First, that parental choice will drain the public schools of sorely needed funding. In Utah this works well rhetorically, since the state has the honor of being last in the nation in per-pupil spending. However, exactly the same claim is made about the proposed voucher program for students in the District of Columbia, where the schools have the dubious honor of being first in the nation in per-pupil spending. Second, that parental choice will only benefit the wealthy. School choice proposals in Utah in the past have not included a means test, so this argument has made a good sound bite. However, the opponents of choice have also lobbed this argument at programs that do have income ceilings, such as the ones in Milwaukee and Cleveland. Third, that parental choice will "cream" the best students into private schools and leave the most expensive and difficult to educate students in public schools.

Click on Judicial Branch and then Indiana Court of Appeals. 2.) ******** OHIO REVAMPS STATE TESTS: ALIGNS WITH STANDARDS (Goal Three: Student Achievement and Citizenship) A new Ohio state law overhauls the state's proficiency tests by aligning them with academic standards (Rubin, EDUCATION DAILY, 6/15). The law also limits the tests' use in determining whether students will be promoted to the next grade or earn a high school diploma. The new law is based on recommendations developed by Governor Bob Taft's Commission for Student Success. Last year, the Commission reported that the Ohio tests were "rushed into place before the academic standards they were meant to measure had taken hold," reports the paper.

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.
