Extractions: for Private Schools in Hawaii A special need presently exists within the private school community. Challenging economic conditions in Hawaii have created difficulties for schools to make ends meet on an operational basis. Deferred maintenance has become the rule regarding capital improvement to repair existing facilities. For this reason, independent schools are realizing that Special Purpose Revenue Bonds, as they are called here in Hawaii, could be an effective method to finance major capital expansion or renovation projects. Conventional methods of raising capital funds are presently limited and may not improve in the near future. Schools, public and private, must maintain the buildings and facilities on their campuses. During the 1990s, significant funds were expended specifically to renovate school buildings to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This effort, along with demands for other renovation and construction, requires substantial funding. Traditionally, independent schools have used a combination of capital funds drives, tuition increases, and endowment funds to finance renovation and construction.

Extractions: There have been significant changes in New Zealand over the past decade in the development and delivery of Early Intervention Programmes. This year has seen the formation of The Early Intervention Association of Aotearoa New Zealand* and the first National Early Intervention Conference. The approach for Early Intervention in New Zealand is family focused, meaning that the services will focus on the child within the context of the Parent/Whanau/Caregiver* in the wider context of the community. It is based on partnership between the service providers and the Parent/Whanau/ Caregiver. The intent is to adopt the least intrusive model of intervention from all service providers. Progress over 10 years New special education policy During the early 1990's significant work was undertaken to develop a specific policy to address the needs of students with disabilities and special needs. This work resulted in the "Special Education 2000" Policy. The implementation of this robust policy began in 1997 with an expectation that it would be completed by the year 2000. The aims of this policy are:

Extractions: Contact Us LISTSERVE the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates We are fighting on one of the many fronts against the neoright's counteroffensive against the progress toward social justice we have achieved over the past half century. Bills in both the House and the Senate to reauthorize the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act would weaken the chance that disabled students will receive a free, appropriate public education, and take away what little leverage parents have to force schools to meet their obligations toward their children. I hope you will take time to write, not only to the key Senators listed in the alert, but also to the Hawai`i delegation (contact infor at the bottom), to ask that they fight to protect the rights of disabled children to a free appropriate public education, and to urge then not to support either HB 1350 nor SB 1248 without major revision. If you want more information about the IDEA and reauthorization, I suggest:

Ed Case's amendment to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Star-Bulletin, April 22), which would base attorneys' fees for representing disabled students on rates set by the governor of each state. Apparently I have more confidence in our court's discretion than Case does. One wonders why the attorney general's lawyers representing the DOE are not prevailing. Perhaps the governor should seek legal advice from the private sector. The federal government, which updated IDEA in 1997, must cover a substantially higher percentage of the costs. Case would do well to redirect his carte blanche issue toward the feds who need to provide more financial support.

Extractions: Washington D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Gregg and Senator Kennedy, Our organizations do not support S. 1248 that seeks to amend Part B of the individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) because this bill takes away those protections necessary to ensure that our children shall not be left behind. We cannot and will not support any legislation that denies our children with disabilities their hard-earned civil rights. Now is not the time to eliminate critical protections designed to ensure accountability from IDEA. Protections that: Mandate that these children "stay-put" in their current educational placement and not have their educational programs disrupted when their parents challenge any proposed exclusion in excess of 10 school days for allegedly inappropriate behavior that is non-dangerous, non drug, non weapon related, and often a manifestation of disability, an inappropriate IEP or the failure to implement an appropriate IEP;

Extractions: H ard-won rights of people with disabilities hang in the balance as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether Congress exceeded its power 10 years ago when it banned disability discrimination by the states. On June 22, 1999, the disability community won a major Supreme Court victory against state oppression. In Olmstead v. L.C. , the court ruled that states violate civil rights when they segregate people with disabilities into isolated institutions as a condition of receiving services that could be provided in freedom. The case upheld the "integration mandate" of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Public policy has pushed people with disabilities from communities into various types of disability ghettos. Separate schools, workshops and institutions have been the norm, regardless of the individual's desires, needs or potential. The Olmstead decision received far less attention than three unfavorable ADA decisions on employment discrimination issued the same day. But its importance is well understood within the disability rights movement. Historically, public policy has pushed people with disabilities from communities into various types of disability ghettos. Separate schools, workshops and institutions have been the norm, regardless of the individual's desires, needs or potential.
