Extractions: Sioux Valley Energy , headquartered at Colman, South Dakota, initiated the nonprofit Sioux Valley Energy Customers' Trust program in the fall of 2000. The purpose of the trust is to acquire, accumulate and disburse funds for charitable and educational purposes as permitted by Section 501 (c) (3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Your community, your school, and/or your nonprofit organization may be eligible for funding. The region served by the Trust is primarily the electrical area served by Sioux Valley Energy , but it also includes the adjacent non-serviced neighborhoods as well. The electrical service area includes Rock and Pipestone Counties in Minnesota, and Brookings, Kingsbury, Lake, Moody, and Minnehaha Counties in South Dakota. Funding for the Trust comes mainly form the Cooperative's customers who agree to participate in the nationally know Operation Roundup program. The concept is rather simple. Each month when electric bills are prepared, statements are rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The difference between the billing and the actual cost of the consumed electricity for the month is placed into the Trust Fund. The most any one customer could possibly contribute in a year's time is $11.88 ($0.99 times 12 months).

Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER A place to feel normal, not broken. A second home. For the deaf community, state-run schools have been pivotal institutions across the United States and Canada, offering children the chance to become fluent in American Sign Language and forge links to the deaf world. "We cherish our state schools and we want them to be preserved," says Allie Joiner, a community advocate with Seattle-based Abused Deaf Women's Advocacy Services, and member of the Washington School for the Deaf's board of trustees. Almost 40 percent of deaf children attended state-run residential schools until 1975, when a federal law ordered local school districts to provide services to disabled children. Since then, the number of deaf children attending state schools has dropped to one out of 10 students. There are about 6,900 children in the United States attending schools for the deaf.

Parent survey: The experience of parenting a child with disabilities (Clearinghouse No. EC 304707). Saskatchewan, Canada. (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED 392234). This is the second part of a four-part study that used qualitative methods and descriptive statistics to examine child mental retardation from the perspective of the family. Ninety-five mothers of children with mental retardation were questioned using both a questionnaire and open-ended questions to allow them to articulate their own experiences in their own words. The data were analyzed with regard to the children's and mothers' needs and experiences, including those in education. In addition, these experiences were compared with those of families from part one of the study. The report also offers recommendations in terms of attitude change and policy change. These recommendations support the current levels of understanding regarding the "best practices" for giving services to families and children with disabilities. (11 references).

Extractions: To fully experience the ABA site, please enable javascript. Special Needs: Domestic Abuse, AIDS, the Disabled, the Elderly, the Homeless Numerous courts and bars have developed programs for groups with special needs. Advocacy for these groups is crucial as their needs are often exacerbated by lower income, thus further limiting their access to justice in the areas of employment, housing, etc. Fifty-seven courts or bar associations indicated in their 2001 survey responses that they support activities addressing special needs. Among the many programs are the following: "He Loves Me Not," the Arkansas Bar Association video on the prevention of dating violence, was distributed to all high schools in the state. The state public television affiliate aired three, one-hour TV call-in programs, using the video in its entirety as a centerpiece. The Georgia Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Advocates for Special Needs Children Committee ensures that school districts are providing the education required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

JEFFORDS'S SPECIAL EDUCATION PLANS GET MIXED REVIEWS For years, U.S. Senator Jim Jeffords has been beating the drum for more federal spending on special education. This year, however, he got a bigger drum. As a liberal Republican in an evenly-split Senate, he could threaten to withhold support for Administration initiatives that would otherwise pass unless his special education funding comes through. The money spigot hasn't yet been turned on, but Jeffords's special education funding ideas are receiving more attention, some of it probably unwelcome, from both liberal and conservative pundits.
