So You Want to be a Science Teacher... Follow a future physics teacher through graduate school and student teaching Main February 22, 2004 Special Ed Vouchers Reform K-12 has a post up about a plan in Colorado to provide special education vouchers that would allow special education students to take their state education dollars with them to a private school. Let's look at what this really means...fortunately it doesn't seem too complicated to me. Chett takes issue with this claim, in particular Some parents spoke out against the bill, saying children with the mildest needs would make use of the vouchers and leave the most severely impacted behind in public schools with less money. Chett writes: That petard has hoisted many a voucher opponent, for no evidence is given for this charge. Well, the evidence is not hard to find. Florida was actually the first state to develop a voucher program (McKay Scholarships) for special education students. The Florida vouchers are actually more generous than those being debated in Colorado. Colorado is simply going to provide the basic per-student allocation to the private school ($6,000). Many special education students have higher costs of education. Florida actually factored in the level of disability, and provides funds based on need (which exceeds the state's per-student allocation). However, even Florida's fund transfer based on need does not always cover the full cost of education at a private school. And, guess what. These Florida vouchers leave the most severly impacted students behind.

LEWIS On March 3, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that may force Congress to re-examine the federal government’s obligation to serve students with disabilities. In its 7-2 ruling in Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F., the court held that the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act required the district to provide Garret Frey, a medically fragile high school sophomore, with the nursing services he needed during school hours. The youth was left a quadriplegic following a motorcycle accident at age 4 and now requires continuous nursing care. A Broad Definition The dispute involves the Supreme Court’s interpretation of "related services" for students with disabilities under the IDEA. The court determined that the related services definition broadly encompasses those supportive services that "may be required to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education."
