Extractions: Other Resources NCLB requires schools and school districts to demonstrate " Adequate Yearly Progress " (AYP) in raising student test scores in reading and math. This fall, a large number of schools and school districts did not make AYP, including many good schools caught in absurd situations by AYP rules. A school can fail to make AYP if fewer than 95 percent of the students are present to take two standardized tests. Ooltewah High School, Hamilton County, Tennessee Ooltewah High students have one of the highest performing rates in the state, but their school is now labeled "in need of improvement" because only 94.1 percent of students took the standardized math test. Out of 1,700 total students, if three more had been present and taken the test that day, the school would not have been on the list. (Nashville News Channel 9, 9/5/03)

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.

Las Vegas SUN: Some Disabled Students To Be Held To Different Standards to make annual progress because disabled students didn Gloria Dopf, director of special education and school improvement for the nevada Education Department http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/lv-ed/2003/dec/04/515966941.html
Extractions: December 04, 2003 SUN STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON Education Department officials have decided children with the most severe learning problems can be held to a different academic standard than their peers a move that will ease pressure on schools struggling to make yearly progress. The new department rule to be announced within days would affect a limited number of students deemed to have "significant cognitive disabilities" by their states. It would allow those students to be tested against standards appropriate for their intellectual development. More significantly, those scores would be counted as part of their school's performance. Currently, students who take tests based on different standards can't be considered "proficient." This penalizes schools as they add up yearly achievement, which is critical because schools that receive federal aid for the poor, but fail to make adequate yearly progress, face increasing sanctions from the government. Many schools have failed to make annual progress because disabled students didn't score high enough on tests or because too few of those students participated.

Extractions: II. Narrative: A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will impact the education of all students at Horizon East High School as well as educate the staff and students to art, science, literature, cultural diversity and technology that is available both at school and within the community. The uniqueness of this project is that it utilizes the museum, a specific art exhibit, the English Department, the Science Department, library and technology. At the conclusion of the project, students, parents, and teachers will be asked to fill out a survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The results could also be statistically tabulated and reported graphically. B. PROJECT STAFF: PROJECT ARTIST: The project artist will be Ms. Anita Getzler, a museum educator who has developed various projects throughout the city of Las Vegas and the greater southwest. She has been instrumental in the planning and design of this project. Ms. Getzler will be a great contributor to this program since Horizon East High School does not employ an art educator. Ms. Getzler holds a Master's degree in Art. Educator: Ms. Babette Brown is an English teacher who is seeking to incorporate art into her English program. She believes that at-risk students need to become aware of the artistic programs available to them through the community. Ms. Brown holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education.

Extractions: Continued The administrators who have made inclusion work say their best advocates are the teachers who have been successful with it. John McDonnell, an inclusion researcher and the chairman of the special education department at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City argues that inclusion has not been found to hurt nondisabled students. "There really has been no effect on the educational progress of kids without disabilities by including kids with disabilities at the regular classroom level," he says. In Auburn, Calif., about 40 miles east of Sacramento, administrators at the 468-student Rock Creek School are working through some of those obstacles. The K-6 school, which lies in a pocket of poverty within an otherwise affluent community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, has begun inclusion of some disabled students in classes where the teachers are willing, but it has a long path ahead to become a fully inclusive school. David Swart, the principal of Rock Creek, says planning for the change has been difficult. While many of his teachers have been enthusiastic about inclusion, others have expressed resistance, and he is unwilling to place disabled children in their classes. "The question of how to change the system is what I'm up against as a principal," he says. "What we need to do is get out front to train these teachers."
