Extractions: Meeting the Challenge: Including Special Needs Students in our Day Schools Michael B. Held, PhD, Founder and Executive Director , Etta Israel Center, Los Angeles, CA I have been working in the Jewish community as a psychologist and educator since 1982; for the past 10 years I have served as the founder and director of the Etta Israel Center in Los Angeles, the largest agency for Jewish special needs students on the West Coast. Over the past two decades there has been notable progress in the field of Jewish special education. There are a variety of stellar programs run by individual schools, specialized agencies, and in some rare cases, by entire communities. However, it is still accurate to say that no one group remains as disenfranchised by the Jewish establishment as the disabled, and within Jewish education, the disabled are nearly always addressed in a piecemeal fashion, usually through the vigor and drive of a parent or better yet, a parent who donates money so that other children in the same situation can benefit. Rarely does a community create a cogent, strategic, and sustained plan for those with special needs.

Extractions: ChiefAcademicOfficer Self-Reported vs. Verified School Data Three kinds of misinterpretations can occur when self-reported school outcomes data is used to compare school district results: (1) Does the data "fit" the same definition from school district to school district? Example 1: Jones School District reports expenditures per pupil of $6,000 per year per student. Smith School District reports $8,000. Does either figure actually represent the money dedicated to direct classroom instruction (teacher salaries, textbooks, support materials, classroom aides, and others), or does the figure also include the capital outlay of the district (money dedicated to repairs and maintenance of facilities) and expenditures for special needs students (learning disabled, low or high-incidence handicapped, and others)? Most states have legislated payments to school districts to help them recover some capital expenditures. All states have a shared revenue commitment for educating special needs students. Additionally, the cost of educating a special needs student may be as much as double the cost of the regular education student. Are those costs averaged in? Example 2: Jones School District reports the pupil/teacher ratio as 16/1. Smith School District 20/1. What positions actually qualify as "teacher" in Jones and Smith Districts?
