As the computer in front of him belts out a song, he begins to bounce in his chair, reaches over to the girl next to him and says, "Wanna' dance, Anna?" They both begin to shimmy in their seats. Sam has multiple disabilities, but thanks to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), he's in a regular classroom in Greenwich, Connecticut. The 25-year-old federal law guarantees the right of disabled children to a public education, but it's also been responsible for a mushrooming population in special education, at a cost that has swallowed school budgets and divided communities.

Click Here to Sign an Online Petition We have been successful in getting the words, "school nursing services" inserted into the current draft of the IDEA reauthorization; HOWEVER, these words could be removed if committee members do not support this addition. It is URGENT that members of the Senate Committee are contacted immediately at their state offices. School nurses need to let their Senators know that they are voting residents of the state and that they want the Senator to support the inclusion of "school nursing services" within Related Services of IDEA. NASN has been asking for this inclusion for a number of years. Now that it is in the draft, it is up to all of us to keep it there!! Issue IDEA reauthorization legislation will soon be introduced in both the United States House of Representatives and Senate.
