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: 13 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SELECTED AS PRIMARY BENEFACTORS OF BOISE'S PREMIERE SPORTING EVENT Albertsons is pleased to announce the recipients of funds from this year's 14th annual Albertsons Boise Open Presented by First Health, to be held September 15-21, 2003. A total of 13 non-profit organizations were selected based on their ability to positively improve the quality of life for the children in our community. The recipients are: "As the tournament continues to grow each year, it enables us to assist an increasing number of organizations that positively impact our youth," said Larry Johnston, chairman of the board and chief executive officer. "Albertsons is honored to be in a position of supporting such deserving organizations through a truly first class sporting event in our own backyard." Since its inception, the tournament has provided nearly $3 million to deserving community-based organizations promoting the health and well being of children in Idaho. Last year, 14 non-profit programs in Idaho each received a $20,000 grant. In December, proceeds from this year's golf tournament will be awarded evenly among the 13 selected recipients, with an anticipated award of $15,000 to $20,000 per grant. In addition to the 13 benefactors, the Albertsons Boise Open Presented by First Health tournament provides opportunities for Idaho non-profits to participate in a fund-raising opportunity. This year 70 non-profits will be selling tickets to the event. Each non-profit retains 100 percent of the revenue generated from their ticket sales. In addition, Albertsons provides a $25,000 bonus pool which is divided amongst the ticket selling organizations based on the percentage of the total sales that one organization makes.

Extractions: A parent or guardian of any child who is at least seven years old at the beginning of the school year, but not yet 16, is required by Idaho law to have that child instructed in subjects commonly and usually taught in the public schools of the State of Idaho. Idaho Code 33-202 requires a child be instructed in a public, private or parochial school, unless the child is comparably instructed. Kindergarten, however, is an option that school districts may elect to provide. The law requires that a child be five years old by September 1st of the school year to enter kindergarten or six by September 1st to enter first grade. If a child has attended an out-of-state kindergarten for 450 hours, the child is allowed to enter first grade even if the child is not six years old by September 1st.

More specific details of each program may be requested through the program contact person. Special Education Students are referred to Special Education through the building administrator, counselor or school psychologist. Referrals are presented to the Evaluation Team.

Special Education serves students ages 3-21. The IEP Team (which always includes the parent) makes all placements in Special Education. IDEA requires that placements be made in Least Restrictive Environment.

Extractions: What Do New Teachers Need? Although there have been few large-scale studies of new teacher induction programs, existing data confirm that schools that provide high levels of support for beginners do retain more teachers (Goodwin, 1999). The Santa Cruz New Teacher Project (SCNTP), for example, which has been in existence since 1993, reports that 90 percent of participating teachers have remained in the profession (Moir, n.d.). Weiss and Weiss (1999) cite a 93 percent retention rate in urban districts that provide formal induction programs for beginners. Benefits for students and schools:

Extractions: Several years ago the Lewiston School District looked at compliance with "least restrictive environment" legislation which stemmed from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This was done in a effort to ensure that the district was serving kids in the environment best suited to meet their individual needs. Teachers were asked to examine their practices of serving students through pull-out programs. They were then asked to begin eliminating the use of such programs and to instead serve all students as much as possible in regular classrooms. From this evolved the districts policy of inclusion. At McGhee, all students, regardless of their mental or physical ability, spend their days in a mainstream classroom. They are removed only if they are in need of services that dont lend them- selves to a regular classroom setting, such as physical therapy, speech therapy, diapering, or tube feeding. Since the implementation of this policy, evidence of inclusion is everywhere. With a glimpse into any of McGhees 15 classrooms, a visitor may see a child with a severe disability, such as cerebral palsy, bound to a wheel chair yet participating to the fullest in all classroom events. The person would also see other students interacting naturally with the disabled student. What the person might not see is the way students feel about their disabled peersto them disabilities arent really an issue. In most of their minds, a disabled kid is just another kid, who maybe has to tackle learning a little differently than most.

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.
