West Virginia Healthy People 2010 Objectives This severely impacts people with disabilities because of their special health care A recent survey conducted by the west virginia University Affiliated http://www.wvdhhr.org/bph/hp2010/objective/6.htm
Extractions: Credits 6 - Disability and Secondary Conditions Objectives References According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, a person is considered as having a "disability" if he or she meets at least one of the following criteria: (1) He or she has a physical or cognitive impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) he or she has a record of such an impairment, and/or (3) he or she is regarded as having such an impairment. The U.S. Census of 1990 reports that 35% of West Virginians are identified as having a disability. Of those, 19% are rated as severe. Approximately 3% of this population have difficulty with self-care, a major quality of life area. Survey research conducted by Keith and Stewart in 1992 found that approximately one-third of West Virginia households included a person with an identified disability. Of the adults who responded to this survey, one in five reported requiring professional care for their disability. Primary disabilities with concomitant chronic health problems and physical limitations occur within the aging population of West Virginia. Additionally, poverty, low educational levels, lack of prenatal care, and teenage pregnancies may contribute to high incidences of disability among infants born in the state.

As you know, these requirements were adopted as part of the major overhaul of Title I undertaken by Congress and the Administration in 1994. The statute requires each State to implement a system of challenging content and performance standards, aligned assessments, and school accountability for the 2000-2001 school year. The documentation of West Virginia's assessment system was carefully reviewed by a group of external reviewers with strong expertise and experience in the design of State assessment systems. The external reviewers raised a number of issues related to the substance and timeline for completion of your State assessment system. West Virginia's ability to meet the Title I requirements on time is of concern to the Department.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n To Assure the Free Appropriate Public Education of All Children with Disabilities - 1996 IDEA requires that the Secretary of Education collect data on those services anticipated to be needed for students ages 12-21 exiting the educational system. In the past, anticipated services data were collected annually. Because of changes in the law, these data are now collected every 3 years. Data on anticipated services are intended to improve transition planning by informing State agencies, such as Vocational Rehabilitation and Developmental Disabilities, of the service needs of students exiting the education system. Initially, OSEP collected the data from States on an aggregate basis. However, at least two problems with these data were identified. In some cases, State personnel based service needs estimates on the student's disability classification. In other cases, data were gathered by school and district personnel who may have been inexperienced in judging the adult service needs of students leaving the educational system. In order to address these problems, OSEP developed the PASS (Performance Assessment for Self-Sufficiency) system in conjunction with transition experts and State and local administrators and practitioners in special education and adult services. PASS instruments, which capture information about the functional performance of students, are completed by teachers on the basis of their knowledge of their students. This information is then fed into an expert system that translates the teachers' assessments into useful information that special education and adult services agencies at all levels can use to anticipate service needs, and to plan services for young adults with disabilities.

The Responsible Student Program encourages the interaction of teachers, parents, and students in making important decisions to maintain a positive and safe educational environment. This is done through development of the following: SCHOOL STANDARDS, UNITS of INSTRUCTION to teach the standards, and REWARDS for following the standards. The entire program is designed to foster the learning process and encourage students to take an active part in their own education. Our PRIDE program was validated by the West Virginia State Department of Education during the 1995-1996 school year. We have been asked by the West Virginia Department of Education to conduct RSP staff development presentations in several counties throughout the state. We also serve as a demonstration site for this program.

Extractions: West Virginia Board of Education Thank you President Hardesty and good morning to all. Thank you Senator Byrd for inviting me to participate in this forum on building safe schools. I would like to mention that I started teaching in West Virginia in 1957. Then, the most common discipline problems were students running in the halls, going up and down the wrong staircases, and chewing gum in classes. That was a different time. I was an educator for 40 years and along the way, in the '60's or early '70's, teachers were told not to impose their middle class morality upon their students. Parents would teach children the values they espoused. I felt at the time this was a mistake. Family structures had begun to change, even then. Teachers were spending more time per day with students than parents were. Good teachers can be very strong role models for children of any age and I still feel that teaching kindergarten and first grade children is a calling, not just a job. West Virginia's public schools are among the safest in the nation. This is partly a function of having the lowest crime rate in the country. In spite of these statistics, we cannot afford to be lax in our efforts to prevent acts of violence in our schools, similar to those that have occurred in other parts of the nation.
