Case: J.D. V. Pawlet School District of intellectual peers at the local high school and that he suffered from an emotional and behavioral disability under vermont s special education regulations. http://www.kidscounsel.org/kcdb/cases_detail/977509161.html
Extractions: Aug 8 2000 J.D., an academically gifted minor with documented behavioral problems, brought a claim against his local school district and the Vermont state Board of Education challenging the school district's failure to provide a free appropriate public education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). In an interesting decision that presented a question of first impression in the second circuit, the Court of Appeals found that the plaintiff's status as an academically gifted student with an emotional disability did not entitle him to special education services under IDEA, but that he was entitled to "reasonable accommodations" under Section 504. The court also rejected J.D.s Section 504 claim on the ground that the school district had offered a reasonable accommodation given the disability present. J.D.s parents, unhappy with the alternatives presented by the local school district, unilaterally enrolled J.D. in a private post-secondary boarding school catering to academically gifted children. The school board had offered a placement at the local high school, with enrollment opportunity at a local college, and concurrent counseling and peer training sessions to address the behavioral/emotional issues. The court determined that these accommodations were reasonable under Section 504, which gave J.D. the same access to the benefits of a public education as all other students.

Dorta delivered this statement regarding teacher licensure and the Williamstown "volunteer teacher" controversy at a news conference on December 3, 1999: Such significant silence is damaging. Regulations without proper enforcement are worthless. In fact, they are worse than nothing at all, since they only can breed cynicism about the quality of public education. How does the public and the education community take seriously other state initiatives aimed at increased accountability and school improvement when a basic quality assurance provision such as proper teacher licensing can be so cavalierly disregarded?

Support for Kids Vermont-NEA President Angelo Dorta delivered these remarks at a news conference October 24, 1996 at the Vermont-NEA Convention... The 145th Annual Vermont-NEA Educators' Convention is an occasion for celebrating the tremendous professionalism and the tireless dedication of our teachers and school support staff from Bennington to Richford, from St. Albans to St. Johnsbury. And there are many achievements to celebrate: The number of Vermont high school students taking a core curriculum of four years of English, and three years each of math, science, and social studies has more than tripled since 1982. Vermont's high school completion rate has remained steady for the past 10 years at about 85 percent despite profound changes in family structure, work, and general society. By contrast, in the 50s, nearly half of all high school students quit before graduating. Most handicapped and disabled Vermont students were taught at home or in institutions, rather than experiencing the equal education opportunities that exist today in Vermont's very inclusive public school classrooms. More than 50 percent of Vermont students continue with post-secondary education, over 20 percent more than three decades ago.

According to section 1051, it is the policy of the State of Vermont to cooperate with religious groups by adjusting the schedule of public schools to provide periodic Release Time for religious instruction, "provided that such adjustments do not interfere with the conduct of secular educational programs in the schools." The board of directors of each school district " shall make available periodic Released Time" (section 1053) if requested by a religious group (an association of persons for religious purposes). Periodic Released Time religious education courses will also be included in public school catalogs (section 1053).

Extractions: Providing an excellent educational opportunity for each of our Vermont children is one of the most important investments we can make for the future of Vermont. However, the cost of education has increased significantly in recent years. Between fiscal year 1992 and fiscal year 2002, the revenues (from all sources) to fund public education jumped from $672.9 million to $1.052 billion. According to U.S. Census data for fiscal year 2001 (which is the latest year available), Vermont ranked 8th in the nation for per pupil spending, 2nd in the nation for school spending in relation to personal income and 1st in the nation for school administration spending per pupil. In addition, according to the U.S. Department of Education, Vermont had the lowest pupil teacher ratio in the nation in fiscal year 2001. Although we want excellent educational outcomes for Vermont students, we also have to pay attention to education costs. Projected education spending increases of 4.50% in fiscal year 2004 and 4.75% in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 are not sustainable. Act 68, passed by the legislature in 2003, revised Vermonts education funding system to provide some new revenue sources. However, by fiscal year 2006, education spending is projected to outpace revenues by $15 million. We therefore need to act now to restrain the growth in education costs.
Extractions: Greater use of technology will permit the State of Vermont to promote itself not only as a location that offers a high quality of life but also as a location with leading-edge technology and telecommunications. As seen in the context of a life cycle, Vermont must provide as much support as possible for high technology startup companies and the foundation infrastructure required for subsequent phases of business development. We also support policies and legislation that specifically foster growth of high technology companies in Vermont. High technology companies have many attributes consistent with Vermont's image and values. High technology companies typically offer higher than average pay and benefits for their employees, generally are net economic contributors to their surrounding communities and typically have limited impact on the surrounding environment. Vermont is not alone, however, in wanting to attract high technology companies and must effectively compete with other states for these desirable companies. Vermont must have the resource infrastructure and technology backbone to effectively compete with other states for such companies.
Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n FOR RELEASE Contact: Melinda Kitchell Malico March 14, 1996 (202) 401-1008 Vermont Given Unprecedented Statewide Flexibility in Education Programs To help advance local school improvement efforts in Vermont, U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley today awarded Vermont authority to waive federal education rules and regulations that get in the way of community efforts to improve teaching and learning. Statewide, school district and individual school waivers designed to cut red tape are available under the new "EdFlex" partnership between Vermont and the U.S. Department of Education. This break with the old top-down approach to government was made possible by the Goals 2000: Educate America Act. It is designed to promote and support state and community efforts to help students learn the basics and core subjects to high standards. "The EdFlex program is a striking example of new partnerships the Clinton administration is forming with states and communities to help raise academic standards and improve discipline in our schools. Vermont has demonstrated its commitment to providing flexibility, accountability and effective innovation in order to improve teaching and learning," Riley said.
