Extractions: March 18, 1999 By ANJETTA McQUEEN AP Education Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The school district in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had already overspent its special education budget by $1 million when the Supreme Court ruled it had to pay for one-on-one nursing for a student adding $30,000 a year. Garret Frey, the 16-year-old sophomore on a ventilator because of an accident that left him paralyzed, isn't the issue, said Superintendent Lew Finch. The case is really about the federal government creating rules requiring schools to educate children with disabilities, but not sending enough money to ensure they can afford it. If schools don't get more help, they may need to raise local taxes, Finch said. "This might be the case that opens a lot of eyes." Special education is one of the most emotional issues schools face, and one of their fastest-growing costs. States have long fought with local schools and the Education Department over costs. Now Republicans and Democrats in Congress are debating how much the federal government should help. Nearly 6 million children receive special education instruction and services costing $60 billion, about $5 billion of that from the federal government. About $55 billion comes from states and local districts, which follow strict rules stemming from the 1975 federal law covering special education.

Educational Service District 101 (ESD 101) served a predominately rural and remote area. The project served two populations of adults and youth with special needs those with limited English proficiency and persons who are functionally ill-prepared for the workplace. ESD 101 chose as its mission to enable students to achieve world class standards in the core subject areas by providing (a) quality instructional programming for various grade levels as well as adults, including workplace basics and skills; (b) inservice courses and teleconferences for teachers, administrators, board members, and parents; (c) technical and information support to schools; and (d) an effective evaluation plan that examined student performance and other issues.

North Carolina uses a flat grant system, applying a fixed amount of funding per student. Some states, such as New Hampshire, simply weight all special education students the same in their formulas. This means that a student with a substantial physical disability has the same weight as a student with a minor reading disability if both students are enrolled in special education programs. Some states have created subcategories of special education students and provided each of those with a specific weight (e.g., South Carolina and Texas). Another approach is to weight a student based on his or her ability to spend time in a regular classroom (e.g., Iowa). This system provides the student a higher formula weight for the extra time he or she must spend outside of a regular classroom. The approach New York takes is to provide all special education students with a single weight plus an additional weight based on the districts financial need.
