Extractions: Viewpoint on Public Issues, The Mackinac Center , October 6, 1997 Forgotten children. Troubled youth. Learning disabled. Students with special needs. Whatever the euphemism, these are children who are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. At the same time, many people think that these students can not be served well by the private sector either, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is time to lay to rest the myth that private schools are elitist institutions that "skim the cream" and leave all the toughest kids to the public schools. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-to-educate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private sector group to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation. Examples include Sobriety High in Edina, Minnesota, which educates 9th through 12th grade students in recovery from chemical dependency. The famed Boys Town, based in Nebraska, directly cares for more than 27,000 boys and girls annually in fourteen states and the District of Columbia. The Helicon Shelter Education Program, a division of Childrens Comprehensive Services, provides certified teachers, materials, curriculum, and academic recordkeeping on site at 27 emergency foster care shelters throughout Tennessee.

Extractions: As the Parent of a Child With Special Education Needs, Are You Entitled to Damages? Ordinarily, a prevailing parent in an Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) court action is only entitled to a compensatory education for his/her child and is not entitled to damages, which is money awarded in order to compensate for a loss. It is important for parents to understand from the outset that damages are not recoverable, so that they have realistic expectations when filing for due process or seeking the aid of an attorney. Eight of eleven Circuit Courts have held that damages cannot be recovered for IDEA violations. Only the Second and Third Circuits allow for the recovery of damages under IDEA. The Ninth Circuit has still yet to decide the issue; however, a California District Court, which is in the Ninth Circuit, has recently ruled that parents can recover damages in IDEA actions. In Goleta Union v. Ordway, 166 F.Supp.2d 1287 (C.D. Cal., 2002), the District Court held that the mother of a child transferred to high school without having his special education or behavioral needs met or his placement checked, was entitled to damages.

With Justice John Paul Stevens writing for the majority, the Court held that states can be sued for damages for failing to make their courthouses accessible to people with disabilities. Justice Stevens wrote that when Congress debated the issue before passing the disability law in 1990, it learned that many individuals, in many states across the country, were being excluded from courthouses and court proceedings by reason of their disabilities. The ruling doesnt apply necessarily to other parts of the disability law, such as discrimination in access to services or activities. Still, it does provide that persons with disabilities should be given the basic right of access to court. The ruling stems from a Tennessee case in which six plaintiffs including a stenographer who used a wheelchair and was thus denied access from many of Tennessees state courtrooms filed suit.
