You Are Here: Home Crossroad Special Inst. Education Funding: At the Crossroads Special Instruction Spending Outpaces Regular Classroom Instruction 4 to 1 Why are Oregon schools pinched for funds while national statistics show the state’s school funding levels per student are above the national average? In an attempt to answer the question posed above, the Oregon School Boards Association commissioned ECONorthwest to investigate the state’s K-12 funding situation since the 1990 passage of Oregon’s first property tax limitation measure and the start of the K-12 school funding equalization process. What did they find? Not surprisingly, the answers are complex. No 30-second sound bite answers emerged. Comprehensive Analysis of K-12 Education Finance in Oregon Two key factors impact the funding-level debate: Implementation of equalization, which provides comparable levels of funding for all students. Under the equalization formula, now completely implemented, districts well-funded prior to equalization dealt with budgets that grew at a much slower pace than districts poorly funded prior to equalization. Significant increases in special instruction funding. Since 1992 spending per student on special instruction in Oregon’s public schools increased 14.3 percent annually while spending on regular classroom instruction increased 3 percent annually.

Our source is the recent AP article, “ Data show states return millions to feds instead of spending it on schools ,” by Nancy Zuckerbrod http://www.detnews.com/2004/schools/0401/10/schools-31658.htm As parents and advocates for Oregon’s disabled children, we would like to know why this money was not used for our children, wasting a scarce and substantial resource in scarce times. Parents of children with disabilities who participate in countless IEP meetings across this state have been forced to beg for the Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that the Individual Disability Educational Act (IDEA) guarantees our children. We've pleaded for far too long with far too little success. We’re told it’s too expensive, there is no money. We’re told that by the nature of their disability our children’s needs are draining the regular educational budget. It’s become an infuriatingly routine refrain, seemingly seeking to pit regular and special education parents against each other.

Gardening offers many benefits to children. It can be especially beneficial for children with special needs, such as physical, mental, social, and emotional problems. Gardening is a purposeful activity involving mind and body, and it is valued by society. Benefits can include: improved fine and gross motor skills improved communication and socialization skills enhanced self-esteem and a sense of responsibility an interest in the future stimulation of sensory perception, creativity, and curiosity Here are some ways to keep gardening experiences happy and successful for children of all abilities: Garden frequently but for short time periods. Keep drinks and snacks available. Provide child-size tools. Use small hand tools, old spoons, and plastic tool sets. Bigger seeds are easier to manage for smaller or less coordinated hands. Mix small seeds with sand or peat moss and sprinkle from a spice jar for better distribution.

Students' Work Including special-needs students in regular classrooms seems to improve student academic performance, data show by Peter Farley AMHERST The inclusive-style classroom may be denying elementary school special needs students the attention they require and the education they deserve, according to some local teachers. But an analysis of available data gives a different picture. Now only one question remains: which method of grouping is most effective in helping students, with and without disabilities, to achieve their expected goals? IDEA requires that disabled students be placed in a setting that constitutes the "least restrictive environment." In other words, the government calls for disabled students to be educated with those who are nondisabled, to the maximum extent appropriate. However, teachers such as Mary Donovan, a fourth-grade instructor at Crocker Farm Elementary School in Amherst, say the law is often misinterpreted. The "least restrictive environment" isn’t always the regular classroom for special needs students, Donovan said.

Palestinians condemn ongoing Gaza closure Senate fine-tunes discipline in special education program By George Archibald THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Senate voted 95-3 yesterday to change discipline rules for the federal special education program and to increase funding for disabled students by more than $2 billion a year for the next seven years. Federal spending for disabled students would increase from $10 billion to $12.4 billion in fiscal 2005, and gradually to $26.1 billion by fiscal 2011, under an amendment offered by Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican, which the Senate adopted 96-1 Wednesday. "Today, six-and-a-half million children with disabilities receive special education services. Almost all of them, 96 percent, are learning alongside their non-disabled peers," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, ranking Democrat on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. "It's our statement as a nation that these children matter and that we will do our part to help their parents and teachers and communities meet their education goals." Mr. Gregg, the chairman of the committee, said Republicans and Democrats were in agreement on 90 percent of the bill before debate started on funding issues.

EAGLE POINT, Oregon (AP) The kids in Michelle Harper's special education class have their own small victories every day a temper tantrum stifled, two words rhymed. When it comes time to take the standardized tests that the federal government uses to measure public schools, many of Harper's students at White Mountain Middle School merely pick answers at random, not realizing the potentially severe consequences for their school. Across the country this year, thousands of schools were deemed "failing" because of the test performance of special ed students. The results have provoked feelings of fury, helplessness and amusement in teachers like Harper, who say that because of some of their students' disabilities, there is no realistic way to ever meet the expectations of a new federal law backed by the Bush administration that requires that 99 percent of all children be performing at or above grade level by 2014.
