ABILITY Magazine: Education Department Reduces Closed Captioning other feedback mechanisms, when selecting educational, news, or its recent actionssince FCC regulations only require argument in the case of tennessee v. Lane http://abilitymagazine.com/news_closedcaptioning.html
Extractions: HOME PAST ISSUES SUBSCRIPTIONS LINKS ... SEARCH posted 3-1-2004 WASHINGTON, DC The US Department of Education has determined that almost 200 television programs are "not appropriate" for closed captioning, according to a National Council on Disability report. The ED apparently based its decision, effective October 1, 2003, on the IDEA '97 regulationsconstruing them to require a narrow unpublished definition of "educational, news, and informational" programming. It appears that the ED arrived at its significant new regulatory interpretation without the benefit of public comment. This decision by the ED not only unnecessarily excludes 28 million deaf and hard of hearing people from accessing programming that is available to the general public, but it may also adversely impact millions of other Americans, including those who utilize captions to learn English; children who are learning to speak; as well as public establishments such as restaurants and health clubs across the United States whose patrons use captioning in noise-filled environments. This diminishment of universal access runs counter to the many positive accomplishments of the Administration. Previously, applicants for television captioning grants took into account the preferences of consumers, through grantee Consumer Advisory Boards and other feedback mechanisms, when selecting "educational, news, or informational" programs for captioning. Without public notice, the ED changed its administration of captioning grants by convening a panel to determine that the 200 programs were not appropriate based on additional descriptive categories developed by ED personnel. The NCD learned from the panelists that they had no idea that they were being used for the purpose of cutting captioned programming.
Waivers In tennessee, 3,700 education regulations were eliminated, and local boards can waivestate regulations without having to obtain final approval from the state. http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/envrnmnt/go/go5waiv.htm
Extractions: One way of putting flexibility into the system is to allow freedom from regulation. Several states have taken steps to allow teachers and principals with good ideas to improve their schools unencumbered by state regulations. In Texas , for example, teachers can be granted waivers from exam requirements, staff development time, and so on. In Tennessee , 3,700 education regulations were eliminated, and local boards can waive state regulations without having to obtain final approval from the state. Nearly 200 South Carolina schools with a history of superior academic achievement have been granted automatic release from numerous state regulations. Illinois Florida , and Maryland waive state regulations that stand in the way of experimental programs or restructuring or general school improvement. The impact of waivers is questionable, however. According to a General Accounting Office report, Regulatory Flexibility (1994), on regulatory flexibility efforts in three states, it is difficult to determine whether school improvement efforts that are a result of waivers will be of significant value to all children. Kentucky , for example, gave all schools greater flexibility;

Extractions: The Associated Press NASHVILLE New federal regulations that require all non-English-speaking students to take the state's annual achievement tests in English are unfair and harmful to the students, Tennessee educators say. "I think when we ask a child to take an achievement test in a language that he or she doesn't even speak, it certainly shows very little common sense, much less best practices in education," state Commissioner of Education Lana Seivers said. "The difficulty for me comes in that I am faced with implementing the federal law." That law is the nation's 2001 No Child Left Behind Act, which requires students in grades 3-8 to be tested to make sure they are proficient in reading and math. The new, stricter guidelines that went into effect this year include testing all non-English-speaking students, no matter how long they have been in this country. The new law also lowers the IQ cut-off score for special-education students who have to take the regular test. Tennessee's new benchmark is an IQ of 60, on a scale where 100 is considered average. Nashville Schools Director Pedro Garcia says the changes are harmful to students.

Extractions: Wednesday, January 7, 2004 FORD Challenges Bush to Deliver Promised Funds for "No Child Left Behind" President has delivered $15 billion less than he promised schools two years ago MEMPHIS, TENN. Congressman Harold Ford (D-Tenn) today challenged President Bush to deliver the funds he promised to schools when he signed the No Child Left Behind Act two years ago. The President is visiting West View Elementary School in Knoxville, Tenn., tomorrow to tout the success of the "No Child" initiative on its two-year anniversary. But teachers and principals across the state and country are saying that they havent received the funding levels that were promised by the law, at the same time as they are working harder to implement the laws new mandates. "I would hope that as the President comes to Tennessee to talk about education, he also listens carefully to what educators, parents and school board members are saying about the challenges of implementing this law. Their story is different than his because they are confronting the realities of classroom education, not the politics and the rhetoric," Ford said. "The President must fund No Child Left Behind at the levels that were promised and make the law more flexible. The goal of No Child Left Behind holding schools accountable for teaching kids is as important as ever. I support higher standards. But educators must have the tools to reach those standards."

Pierce A little over a year ago, President George W. Bush sat at a worn, wooden desk in the gymnasium of Ohio's Hamilton High School and put his signature to a massive federal law called the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Here, the President declared before a foot-stomping crowd, was the symbol of a "new era" begun. And it was true. Not in four decades had Washington served up such a sweeping overhaul of federal education policy. Passed in Congress with bipartisan support, the 1,100-page billthe latest incarnation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965markedly expanded the federal government's role in education, prescribed mandates to the states, and along the way touted goals almost nobody could dispute: Close the student achievement gap, make public schools accountable, set standards of excellence for every child, put a qualified teacher in every classroom.
