Children may receive a federally funded subsidy under Title IV-E or a state-funded subsidy as per state guidelines.

Serving the Youth of 6 Counties in th e East Mississippi/West Alabama Area Choctaw, AL - Clarke - Kemper - Lauderdale - Neshoba - Newton Scouts With Disabilities and Special Needs Background Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has had fully participating members with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. Dr. James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive, was himself disabled. Although most of the BSA's efforts have been directed at keeping such boys in the mainstream of Scouting, it has also recognized the special needs of those with severe disabilities. The Boy Scout Handbook has had braille editions for many years; merit badge pamphlets have been recorded on cassette tapes for blind Scouts; and closed-caption training videos have been produced. In 1965, registration of over-age Scouts with mental retardation became possible—a privilege now extended to many people with disabilities. Today, approximately 100,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers with disabilities are registered with the Boy Scouts of America in more than 4,000 units chartered to community organizations.

DIR Home LMI Home Contact LMI About DIR ... DIR Site Map BUSDRIVER, SCHOOL Education Conditions Outlook License ... Related Occupations Transport students or special clients, such as the elderly or persons with disabilities. Ensure adherence to safety rules. May assist passengers in boarding or exiting. EDUCATION: Must have a commercial driver license in the state in which you plan to work. Usually receive driving instruction and classroom teaching on State and local laws, regulations, and policies of operating school buses; safe driving practices; driver-pupil relations; first aid; special needs of disabled students; and emergency evacuation procedures. Also must be aware of school systems rules for discipline and conduct for bus drivers and the students they transport. Top CONDITIONS: School bus drivers only work when school is in session. Many work 20 hours a week or less, driving one or two routes in the morning and afternoon. Drivers taking field trips or athletic trips or who also have midday kindergarten routes may work more hours a week. As more students with various special needs assimilate into mainstream schools, drivers must learn how to accommodate a wide range of needs. Top OUTLOOK: The number of school bus drivers is expected to increase slowly due to the fact that much of the state's population is located in areas where students have to ride buses to school. The high turnover rate in this occupation will also produce opportunities.

No. 1 A PUBLICATION FOR CHILD NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS FROM THE NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSIITUTE MANAGING NUTRITION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WELCOME TO NFSMI INSIGHT This new publication is created to communicate National Food Service Management Institute (NFSMI) research and projects to you, the Child Nutrition Professional, in reader-friendly terms. Our goal is to help you incorporate state-of-the-art information and procedures into the daily operation of Child Nutrition Programs. We hope this publication will be read, used, and shared by all people interested in the health and well-being of children. The format of NFSMI Inslght is designed to slip easily into a file or a three-ring notebook. This publication will be produced periodically. Please let us know if NFSMI Insight has been helpful and we would be interested in your ideas for additional topics. OVERVIEW OF THIS ISSUE Children who have a variety of special food and nutrition needs exist in every school district. Studies have shown that most school nutrition managers have at least one child in their school with special needs. The medical conditions reported most frequently include food allergies, diabetes, and a variety of disorders that require modifications to the texture of food. Federal regulations require school nutrition professionals to modify meals for a child with a medical authorization that his or her diet is restricted by a disability. Providing special meals need not be a costly undertaking for school nutrition services. This issue of NFSMI Insight presents recommendations for managing nutrition services for children with special food and nutrition needs These recommendations focus on administrative processes that can reduce labor and food costs.
