The "other entities" that are monitored include alternative schools, activity training centers, behavior programs, state hospitals, and other hospital/schools for the more severely disabled populations. Most of the districts and/or agencies were monitored under the older system last year. The older compliance monitoring process is very much oriented to paper and pencil compliance. The state staff, the contracted staff, and members of our transition project (other personnel) are all involved in compliance monitoring.

GUEST BOOK A Fighting Chance By H. J. Cummins Star Tribune Staff Writer Paul Woelfle can ride a bicycle 14 miles to visit a friend, but give him a hall pass and he'll never find his way back to class. Distracted by just about anything, he can get stalled by a drinking fountain or a chance game in the school gym. Then there are the problems that get Paul kicked out of school. Like the time he was accused of using alphabet-shaped cookies to spell out violent messages on a lunchroom table. Or just recently, when the school said he disobeyed orders to steer clear of a construction site behind the school. Paul tells his mother that he feels like a reject, and the Fridley High School teachers and counselors keep telling her that he's out of control. All Elaine Woelfle knows is that her 6-foot, raven-haired, hyperactive son needs to get through high school to have any shot at a good job. That means he's got this year and two more. To keep going, Elaine and Paul Woelfle have turned time and time again to PACER, a Minneapolis-based group whose central purpose is to help any parent with disabled children secure them a proper education. Around since 1976, PACER has provided everything from books to training workshops to teams of advocates who go with parents into school meetings to advocate for their youngster's legal right to an education "appropriate" to their special needs.

Enter keyword: Volume XI Summer 2000 Issue #4 Specializing education to meet the student's needs By Marjane Ambler When we were growing up in the 1950s, my brother learned to hate school. We never knew exactly what killed his eagerness and turned school into torture for him. It didn't help that his two older sisters were "A" students with more standard learning styles. The school system ignored his special talents and attributes, and teachers thought, "Why aren't you like your sisters?" No doubt he had a teacher or two who empathized with him, but at that time, there were no institutionalized mechanisms for dealing with students who were different. My mother would drive the streets of our middle class, suburban neighborhood to find him, crying in the bushes. As I worked on this issue on special education, I thought of my brother as I read Dr. Paul Dauphinais's article about the Turtle Mountain Reservation schools. A school psychologist and a member of the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Band, Dauphinais discusses children who arrive excited to learn and asks, "What happens to that excitement? How do schools extinguish the love of learning?" Unfortunately, my brother never encountered a teacher like Kay McCord. She learned from her students how to re-ignite their natural curiosity and creativity. She and her students worked cooperatively together, relying upon educational methods that were more natural to the American Indian students in her classroom and which, in fact, she would have preferred in her own non-Indian schooling. In her article in this issue, she describes James, a third grader on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation who refused to pick up a pencil. After they began using computers to integrate the children's interests and culture, his attitude completely changed. He became one of the most creative children in the class, writing and recording stories, recording the pronunciation of his Indian name. His stories reveal his enthusiasm: "I like to do work, play, do book reports. I like to color and play hide and go seek. I like going to school. I am going to write a book of dinosaur tales."

Approximately 78 percent of South Dakota's population and jobs, and just under 100 percent of the land, is non-urban. About 98 percent of South Dakota's roads are rural. Federally owned lands amount to 6 percent of the state's land area. Demographically, South Dakota's non-urban population is predominately white (90 percent) and Native American (8.3 percent). The proportion of South Dakota's non-urban adult population who did not graduate from high school ranks in the middle, compared to other states, while the proportion that did graduate from college is the 12th lowest. The 17 percent of South Dakota's non-urban population who are poor is larger than in most other states. About 46 percent of the state's non-urban population is in non-working age groups (31 percent 18 years or younger, and 16 percent 65 years or older). Governmentally, South Dakota is complex. Although the state has 66 counties, a fairly manageable number compared to many other states, it also has 309 municipalities and 956 towns or townships, for a total of 1,265 sub-county divisions. This is the 11th highest number of sub-county governments among all states. South Dakota also has nine federally recognized Indian tribes.

Pit Stop Picks Posted Aug. 04, 2002 Schools cope amid growing disabled-student population, special-education expenses By Kathy Walsh Nufer Post-Crescent staff writer Freedom made the commitment to ensure all children equal access to a public education well before state and federal governments made it law in the early 1970s, he said. Yet, in times of tight budgets there is no denying the mounting cost of educating everyone from the blind, deaf and medically fragile to children with cognitive and emotional disabilities and speech delays. While Congress considers reauthorizing the 28-year-old law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), area school systems are picking up the bulk of the bill for an ever-growing number of special-education children. Two dozen Fox Valley school districts spent more than $62 million in district, state and federal dollars in the 2000-01 school year to educate 7,597 students with disabilities, according to the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. In the coming school year, Freedom, with a total enrollment of 1,590, will spend $1.9 million of its $12.2 million operational budget educating 215 children with disabilities.

The Honorable William J. Janklow Governor of South Dakota 500 East Capitol Avenue Pierre, SD 57501-5070 Re: CRIPA Investigation of Custer Youth Correctional Center, Custer, South Dakota Dear Governor Janklow: We are writing to report the findings of our investigation of conditions at the Custer Youth Corrections Center. On December 29, 1999, we notified you of our intent to investigate certain South Dakota juvenile corrections facilities pursuant to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act ("CRIPA"), 42 U.S.C. § 1997, and the pattern or practice provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. § 14141 ("Section 14141"). Those facilities were the State Training School, the Juvenile Prison, and the Girls Intensive Program ("the Plankinton facilities"), and the Patrick Henry Brady Boot Camp, the Custer Youth Correctional Center, the Living Centers, and the Quest Program (hereinafter referred to as "Custer" or "the facility"). On February 14, 2000, the State informed us that it would not permit us access to tour either the Plankinton or Custer facilities. At about the same time, private litigation was instituted concerning the Plankinton facilities. We awaited the outcome of that private litigation before taking further action. That litigation produced a settlement concerning conditions at the Plankinton facilities in December 2000. The State closed the Plankinton facilities in January 2002. On March 4, 2002, we renewed our request for access to the Custer facilities in order to confirm or deny the allegations we had received about the conditions. On March 18, 2002, the State denied our renewed request to tour the Custer facilities.
