Extractions: If it is not, please click here Background Current Pressing Needs Higher salary levels for personnel in community day and residential programs serving the developmentally disabled. Such salaries, funded primarily by state support, are too low resulting in high turnover, use of untrained workers, and general deterioration of programs. Expansion of day programs for the developmentally disabled, including work activities, sheltered workshops, job placement and training. This is needed for the rising number of public school graduates and residents of newly established group homes across the state. Expansion of group homes for the developmentally disabled, including Intermediate Care Facilities/Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) for the severely handicapped needing nursing care, and semi-independent living group homes and supervised apartments for the more advanced clients. A state law may be needed, requiring that developmentally disabled group homes be considered as single-family residences under local zoning ordinances, so that group homes can be located in residential areas where land prices are less costly. Inauguration of special care programs in courts and prisons for offenders who are mentally retarded.

Extractions: Fax UNESCO Survey on Special Needs Education Law 1996 CSIE summary In 1996 UNESCO published the results of a world-wide survey of the laws relating to special educational needs in 52 countries. The report, Legislation Pertaining to Special Needs Education , is a useful indicator of how a range of countries have approached this area of education. This free CSIE Summary focuses on the integration aspects of the report. The full list of countries is given below and shows a mixture of developed and developing nations. UNESCO said such a study was timely because of the number of important landmark developments in this field of education in recent years. These include: the International Year of Disabled Persons in 1981; the Decade of Disabled Persons 1983-92; the World Programme of Action in Favour of Disabled Persons in 1983; the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989;

Extractions: Printable version Fall 2003 Issue Troops to Teachers By Kris Ann Hegle As military servicemembers, they answered the call to serve their country. Now, many former servicemembers and reservists are serving their country by answering a different call - the call to teach. Because of increased student enrollments and teachers retiring or leaving the classroom, experts estimate more than 2 million teachers will be needed nationwide during the next 10 years. Hardest hit will be low-income urban and rural school districts, which will needmore than 700,000 new teachers during the next decade. However, some districts already are experiencing teacher shortages in math, science, computer science, special education, and English as a second language (esl). Many former and retired servicemembers possess the skills and character traits needed to become good teachers. Recognizing this, the Department of Defense in 1994 established the Troops to Teachers program to help eligible military personnel transition into careers as public school teachers in high-need schools that serve low-income families. The program, which is overseen and funded by the U.S. Department of Education and managed by the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support, helps applicants find teacher certification requirements, programs leading to certification, and employment opportunities, as well as volunteer opportunities as mentors.
Extractions: LOOKING SERIOUS UNDER her thick fringe of bangs, Susannah Eversman talks about her big plans for the future. Maybe she'll attend college in California, she volunteers, or perhaps tour with a rock band. But Susannah, 20, is also pretty happy with the present. Born with Down syndrome, she lives with her family in a substantial brick house in Naperville, Ill., has a serious boyfriend, and works part-time at a job she loves, busing tables at a local restaurant. For Susannah's older sister, Christa, the present and future are considerably more complicated. Eight years ago, when she was 15, Christa was a passenger in a car that collided with a truck at a snowy intersection. Although she was wearing a seat belt, Christa suffered severe head injuries. She spent 66 days in a coma, and then took months to relearn such fundamental skills as eating and walking. Despite hard-won gains, Christa suffers from brain damage that affects her personality, making it difficult for her to keep a job and establish new relationships. Says her mother, Alexandra "Lexie" Kiefer: "She'd love to work and be like everyone else. The reality is that it isn't going to happen."

Extractions: What's New on the Site!! Advanced Search Jack and the Giant School - by Stacy Mitchell, The New Rules , Summer 2000. Higher graduation rates, less violence, a sense of belonging instead of alienation: the case for small schools is supported by mountains of evidence and a growing number of innovative models. National Center for Education Statistics The Education Trust Education Week has a section School Finance Issues New Mexico's school funding formula has long been considered one of the most equalized in the nation. A state will tend to have more equalized funding when several conditions apply: a) the state takes on a larger share of the funding (as opposed to when individual school districts raise the majority of funds through property taxes); b) states target their funding to poorer districts, and; c) states take into account regional differences in the cost of education (for instance, it is more expensive to educate a child in New York City than in Plattsburgh.) Until 1997, the state of New Mexico contributed about 74 percent of school funds. In 1997 the legislature passed a revised school funding formula (S.B. 100), increasing the share of funds to around 84 percent and targeting more of these funds to at-risk students. Money raised in individual school districts may go towards construction and maintenance, but not for school operating costs.
