Extractions: As a demonstration project, the Cooperative provides a model that confederations of school districts can use to capitalize on their own unique resources within the realms of vocational and special education to prepare mildly handicapped high school students for employment and/or postsecondary vocational training. A regional cooperative is established to provide data collection, staff development, and support services to the member districts. It also assists in developing and implementing effective, results-oriented process models. The Cooperative operates on the premise that mildly handicapped learners are better prepared for the working world when vocational and special educators systematically coordinate and consolidate their expertise. The Cooperative has demonstrated success in enhancing the rate and quality of employment and enrollment in postsecondary education for the targeted population. Awareness materials are available at minimal or no cost. Contact:

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: SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES Before placing a student in a special education program, every attempt is made to provide for their learning needs in the regular classroom. Students evaluated and identified by the school staff as disabled are considered for placement in an educational program especially designed for their needs. All personnel involved in a child's educational program, such as the principal, psychologist, counselor, special education teacher, regular teacher and parent review the child's progress to verify the need for special education. Parental consent is required prior to special education evaluation and/or placement. Hearing impairment, orthopedic impairment, visual impairment, deafness, serious emotional disturbance, multiple disa bilities, specific learning disability, autism, traumatic brain injury, mental retardation and developmental delay, deaf-bli nd, other health impairment, speech and language impairment services are offered. If a limited English proficient student is suspected of having a disability, the student may be referred for an evaluation by the Special Services department. It is recommended that the classroom teacher, bilingual assistant and parent confer before the referral process is started.
Extractions: HOME Weekly Column For Immediate Release May 19, 2003 IDEA: Producing Results for Students With Special Education Needs By Tom Cole Education is not a buzzword or a partisan issue or a cyclical campaign topic-it is a great responsibility we have to our youth. In January 2002, President Bush made a pledge to each child to make sure they are not left behind. Under his leadership Congress is continuously increasing No Child Left Behind (NCBL) funding each year. With increased resources and accountability each state is taking the challenge to meet President Bush's pledge. Now, Congress is taking the next step to improve results by reforming America's special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), to increase accountability to students who have special educational needs. I am a co-sponsor of this legislation that passed in the House in a bipartisan vote, 251-171. When IDEA was first enacted in 1975 it focused more on compliance with complex rules than on producing results and it did not provide funding to meet the requirements. The new legislation increases funding, accountability and flexibility to give teachers, students and parents more options when it comes to assisting children with special challenges. Since the Republican Party has held a majority in the House, there has been an average yearly increase of 18.6% in IDEA funding. In 1995, $2.32 billion was allocated to IDEA; in 2004, $11.1 billion will be allocated. With this legislation in 2004, Oklahoma will receive almost $30 million more than in 2003.
