Magazine Home Print Edition EVENTS Convention 2004 ... [text only] Delores T. Corona Private (Religious) School Vouchers DELORES T. CORONA was introduced. Since 1985, Ms. Corona has been Director of Government Relations for the New Jersey Educational Association. She is member of the National Association of Legislative and Political Specialists for Education, and the National Staff Association of Education Association. Her address focused on “The Dangers of Private School Vouchers.” Ms. Corona began by outlining some of the goals for her group, including higher academic standards, paying attention to the diverse needs of students, smaller classes and constant teacher upgrading. She noted that in states like New Jersey, teachers in public schools often encounter a diverse range of students; she added that smaller class size and parental involvement in education must be a key objective in education reform. Corona then discussed the private voucher “experiment” proposed by Jersey City Mayor Bert Schundler; thanks to public activism by teachers and public school supporters, however, the program was abandoned by the state legislature. Governor Christine Whitman, caving in to pressure from voucher supporters, then formed a special commission which recommended a voucher scheme. Corona noted that at the present time, there is little support for vouchers in either the House or the Senate of the state legislature. Ms. Corona then suggested that many voucher supporters are motivated by a desire to erode and dismantle the public education system, in favor of sectarian, religious schools. “The motivation is not educational, it’s more ideological.”

Stop writing off African Americans as learning disabled The Detroit News By Matt Ladner April 14, 2002 Congress will soon take up the task of reauthorizing the federal special education law, with parents, teachers and administrators all expressing legitimate and deeply felt grievances about the current systems. Parents express enormous dissatisfaction with the services provided to their children; teachers have had it with the amount of red tape and paperwork involved while administrators and taxpayers grapple with out-of-control budgets. In addition, a growing body of research demonstrates that race plays a disturbingly large role in determining whether a public school will label children disabled and place them in a special education program. Special-education enrollment has grown 65 percent since the inception in the mid-1970s, to about 6.1 million students in the 1999-2000 school year. By far the biggest growth has been in the percentage of children classified as learning disabled which was 21 percent when the law was passed, but 46 percent in 1998. Disability rates outside of learning disabilities have been relatively flat. Education researchers have known for some time that minorities are over-represented in special education. For example, while African-American students account for 16 percent of the U.S. student population, they represent for 32 percent of the students in programs for mild mental retardation.

Printer Friendly Version These pieces originally appeared as a weekly column entitled "Lessons" in  The New York Times between 1999 and 2003. [ THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2001 ] Doing the voucher math is not as easy as it seems By  Richard Rothstein Bret D. Schundler, former mayor of Jersey City and Republican candidate for governor of New Jersey, wants to give vouchers to parents for private school tuition. It would be easy to pay for them, Mr. Schundler says, because public education bureaucracies are so wasteful. "Do the math," Mr. Schundler, whose term as mayor ended in June, urged in a Kean University speech. In Jersey City, he noted, schools spend about $400 million a year on 33,000 students. Class sizes are about 30. After subtracting money for special needs, buses, buildings, utilities, books, pencils and supplies, "you've got $260,000 left to pay a teacher — that's what would happen if we got rid of all that bureaucracy and all those tiers of administration." Perhaps Mr. Schundler is right that if schools made better use of money, more would be left for teachers. In any institution, there are efficiencies to be found. Perhaps the district could route buses more directly or bargain a better price for heating fuel. Perhaps fewer children could be put in special education or fewer aides assigned to cafeteria supervision. But such savings have nothing to do with the cliché of eliminating bureaucracy.

This fall, a large number of schools and school districts did not make AYP, including many good schools caught in absurd situations by AYP rules. A school can fail to make AYP if fewer than 95 percent of the students are present to take two standardized tests. Ooltewah High School, Hamilton County, Tennessee Ooltewah High students have one of the highest performing rates in the state, but their school is now labeled "in need of improvement" because only 94.1 percent of students took the standardized math test. Out of 1,700 total students, if three more had been present and taken the test that day, the school would not have been on the list.

May 31, 2003 Child School Returns to Roosevelt Island by Anusha Shrivastava The Child School/Legacy High School is moving back to Roosevelt Island after an absence of over two decades. Groundbreaking ceremonies are scheduled for Friday (June 6), including a public event at 1:00 p.m. in the Westview courtyard. Space has been earmarked for science, computer and media laboratories, and a 990-square-foot library. A 4,840-square-foot gymnasium will be constructed separately. Much of the rehabilitation of the minischools is being funded through an Industrial Development Authority bond issue. The Legacy High School, established in 1996, was the first government-funded non-public high school in Manhattan offering a Regents level diploma to students with significant emotional and learning difficulties. Currently, 144 students are enrolled in 12 classes, grades 9 through 12. She says the task seems daunting, yet exciting.

A Challenging IDEA: Including Special Needs Students Innovative programs are preparing mathematics and science teachers nationwide to meet new regulations that require them to accommodate students with disabilities in their classrooms. by Joan Seidman Welsh Acute teacher shortages in science, mathematics, and special education have had school districts scrambling to fill vacancies. At the same time, the population of students with disabilities continues to grow. From 1990 to 1995, the number of students served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA ( http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSERS/IDEA In March of this year, final federal regulations for IDEA were published, and all states had to comply with them by October 1. As a result, many more students with disabilities have been moved out of self-contained special education environments into general education classrooms. This practice demands that teachers be knowledgeable not only in their subject areas, but also in strategies and methods for accommodating children with special needs. Professional Development Curriculum Development in Teaching Science to Kids with Disabilities . So far, more than 200 science and special education teachers, university faculty, and administrators have teamed up in either two-day training sessions or preconference workshops held in conjunction with annual meetings of the
