Impact of the Kentucky Education Reform Act on Special Education Cassandra M. Guarino and Jay G. Chambers The Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) was enacted specifically to redress the inequities in general and special education. Findings indicate that KERA had a significant impact on the provision of, and allocation of resources to, special education five years after implementation. The identification of special education students increased, with the largest growth occurring in the high incidence disability categories. It did not appear that increased special education spending had encroached on general education or that special education administration costs had increased relative to instruction. Districts-particularly those with the most revenue growth-appeared to move toward increased placement of special education students in less restrictive settings. I n 1989, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that the state's schools were inequitable and inefficient. In response, the state legislature passed the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). Several purposes of this major reform to the state's elementary and secondary educational system were described at the time. They included rectifying inequities, increased efficiency, and the creation of an educational system in which students would develop their abilities to communicate, think, and function as responsible, purposeful individuals, workers, citizens, and family members. Implementation took the form of raising and redistributing revenues, restructuring the organization of primary education, raising standards, and including more students in the educational process.

What's New House Education Committee takes stand for full KEES funding 10:11 AM CST on Wednesday, January 7, 2004 By LRC eNews FRANKFORT - A bill directing legislators to fully fund Kentucky's state-sponsored merit-based scholarship program was passed unanimously by the House Education Committee. The bill is aimed at the KEES scholarship program, which is funded by the Kentucky Lottery. Funding for the program is expected to come up $3-5 million short in Fiscal Year 2006. The budget currently being worked on covers FY05 and FY06, and the bill directs the General Assembly to use general fund dollars to make up the shortfall. House Bill 69 was the first to make it out of committee in the 2004 session. It will now be forwarded to the full House, where it is expected to be sent to the Appropriations and Revenue Committee. "We're talking about sustaining KEES at the level it was advertised to students the last eight years," said sponsor Rep. Mike Cherry, D-Princeton. "We should be talking about increasing it."

What's New This week in General Assembly 02:17 PM CST on Friday, January 9, 2004 By LRC eNews Legislators returned to Frankfort this week for the opening days of the 2004 session. Lawmakers, as in all even-numbered years, will spend 60 business days enacting new laws and writing a budget for the next two years. With the commonwealth facing a projected $700 million shortfall for the coming biennium, the General Assembly will have a tough road ahead. Lawmakers from both parties have indicated a desire to cut costs and make state government more efficient while protecting essential services such as education, public safety, and Medicaid. Among the most prominent pieces of legislation coming up this session are bills to address: Medical malpractice : The soaring cost of medical malpractice insurance has driven some doctors out of practice. Separate bills would tackle the problem from two different angles: allow legislators to put caps on non-economic damages in malpractice lawsuits, and track medical errors in order to reduce them. Smoking bans : Bills in each house would forbid local governments from imposing citywide smoking bans. The bill comes on the heels of an ordinance in Lexington that would forbid smoking in any bar or restaurant in the city.

WINNING NUMBERS: WED. JUN 09, 2004 Since it started in 1989, the Kentucky Lottery has earned over $2 billion for Kentucky's state treasury. Currently, Kentucky Lottery dividends support college grants and scholarships, childhood reading and adult literacy programs, and the State's General Fund. Since Fiscal Year 1999, the Kentucky Lottery has provided more than $400 million to the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) Program, the College Access Program and the Kentucky Tuition Grants Program. Combined, this money has been used to make nearly 365,000 financial awards to help Kentucky's best and brightest students remain in Kentucky for their post-secondary education. To learn more about these merit-based and need-based scholarship programs, call the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority toll free at 1-800-928-8926 or visit their web site at www.kheaa.com. In addition to the $400 million for college grants and scholarships noted above, $15 million has gone to Kentucky's Early Childhood Reading Incentive Fund and Kentucky's Collaborative Center for Literacy Development since 1999. $21 million has supported the Kentucky Housing Corporation's Affordable Housing Trust Fund over the past five years, helping to build over 2,770 units of housing for some of the state's neediest citizens. In addition, $32 million of Lottery money was set aside by the legislature in the early 1990's as a one-time bonus for Kentucky Vietnam veterans. $214 million was earmarked for elementary and secondary education in 1993 and 1994, and, over the years, nearly $1.4 billion has gone to the General Fund, as designated by members of the General Assembly. The General Fund pays for a wide variety of programs and projects that benefit all Kentuckians.

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 - 1995 State-Level Cost Analyses: Kentucky Case Study The types of special education fiscal policy issues presented in this chapter thus far represent a major element of the overall CSEF research agenda. A second important element of CSEF research is special education cost analysis. Policy makers at all levels of governance sometimes express surprise that more is not known about the costs of special education. As previously mentioned, the last major examination of special education costs across the nation is based on data from the 1985-86 school year (Moore, et al., 1988). Prior studies were generally consistent with the findings of Moore, et al., who found that per pupil special education costs are approximately 2.3 times that of general education. However, a great deal of change has occurred in education over the past ten years, and CSEF has identified a number of important questions about special education costs that remain unanswered. For example, what are the comparative costs of individual types of special education programs, such as public versus private placements for comparable students? What are the fiscal implications of alternative special education program policies? For example, are general classroom placements in neighborhood schools more or less costly for students with low-incidence disabilities? To what extent, if any, do special education costs exceed revenues, thereby affecting the resources available for students in general education programs?
