IDEA Statutes of Limitations in the Sixth Circuit An important consideration for parents contemplating whether to file for a due process hearing is the amount of time given them by law in which to file such an action. This time limitation is known as the statute of limitations. Simply, a statute of limitation is the duration of time provided by law in which one party may assert a legal claim against another party. Such limitations assure an end to litigation and . . . establish a state of stability. LaBarbera v. Batsch, 10 Ohio St. 2d 106 (1967). Claims filed after the appropriate statute of limitations expires are dismissed. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law and while most federal rights created by Congress prescribe a specific period for their enforcement, IDEA does not. According to the US Supreme Court in Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261 (1985), federal courts in such cases will determine which state cause of action is most similar to the federal cause of action and will borrow the period of limitation for that action if it is consistent with the policy of the federal cause of action. According to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, the appropriate statute of limitations for IDEA claims must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Janzen v. Knox County Bd. of Educ., 790 F.2d 484, 486-487 (6th Cir. 1986). This is because no single state statute of limitations applies to all situations; no one state law neatly encompasses the various actions that can be brought under the IDEA, which range from actions for reimbursement for a private placement to challenges to the propriety of an individualized education plan. Cleveland Heights-University Heights City Sch. Dist. v. Boss by and through Boss, 144 F.3d 391 (6th Cir. 1998).

Book Catalog Internship Opportunities Join email updates Report targets special needs Limits urged on enrollment January 29, 2003 By Shari Rudavsky Enrollment of students in special education nationwide has increased by nearly a quarter in the past decade in the face of funding that offers incentives to identify students in need of such services, according to a recent study by the Manhattan Institute ''Bounty'' funding systems that pay per student placed in special education bear much of the responsibility for the rise in enrollment, the report argues. Nearly 12.5 of all students were classified as needing special education in the 2000-2001 school year. In the 33 bounty states, special-education enrollments grew much faster than in those with set or lump-sum funding over the past decade, the report found. One of the 16 lump-sum states, Massachusetts, had enrollment decline from 16.4 percent to 15.5 percent in that period, the report found. But a higher percentage of those enrolled in Massachusetts special education have more severe problems, as more children are born with disabilities or conditions such as autism.

The City of Arlington Water Utilities Department can test drinking water for lead. Call 817-457-7550 for delivery of a prepared 1-liter bottle. The water collected must be obtained first thing in the morning before using, as the water has sat overnight and had time to collect residue from the pipes. Contaminated drinking water is most prevalent in homes that are ten years old and older. Who can I call to see if my house has lead-based paint? Unlike testing for lead in drinking water, the city does not test for lead-based paint. However, Lead Test Kits (Lead Check Swabs) are available for purchase in most area home improvement stores, such as, Home Depot, Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse, and Ace Hardware for around $6. What is the Arlington Human Services Planners organization? The Arlington Human Services Planners (AHSP)-United Way is an organization funded by United Way and the city that assists in the research, planning, and implementation of health and social service needs of Arlington. It focuses on identifying emerging human service needs and facilitating citizen involvement in developing strategies to meet these needs which may range from early childhood diseases to elder care and teen pregnancy to employment issues.

35. Reading Recovery as a Teacher Leader in South texas, Connecticut, and of those children actually were not disabled, but just Tom DiPaola (Office of special needs) said, special http://www.ri.net/sorico/reading_recovery.htm

Reading Recovery in Southern Rhode Island After a brief lapse in service, the Southern Rhode Island Collaborative has once again put the Reading Recovery intervention into the offerings to schools and school districts. Rhode Island has developed a consortium of sites to serve the State in the various regions. Because of the definite need in the area of reading and writing and the devotion of many advocates, the intervention has once again been reinstated in this area with hiring of a Teacher Leader in the Southern Rhode Island region. Patricia Starnes comes to us after working several years in Reading Recovery. She was trained by Billie Askew at Texas Woman's University and continued to work as a Teacher Leader in South Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. While in Massachusetts, she worked directly under Irene Fountas at Lesley University and received further training as a trainer of Literacy Coordinators for the Literacy Collaborative (formerly ELLI). Starnes' bilingual proficiency led her to be involved in Descubreindo La Lectura, a Spanish reconstruction of Reading Recovery and the development of materials for use in Literacy Collaborative classrooms where children are learning to read in Spanish. Reading Recovery is a valuable service that schools provide for first grade children who are struggling in reading and writing. The intervention targets children before they have fallen into a cycle of failure and the majority of them become successful readers and writers. Actually, the program has two positive outcomes. The children who are unable to meet the average range of performance within 20 weeks of service are then clearly identified as needing Special Education services. This allows for better identification of the Special Education population and the children's programs can be more readily identified.

PRESS RELEASE From the Office of State Senator Jeff Wentworth For Immediate Release May 31, 2002 Contact: Margaret Rambie - (210) 826-7800 Rural and special-needs Texans benefit from assessments against phone companies Constituents call state senators' offices requesting information about insurance rates, college loans, concealed-weapon laws, homeowners' associations and other issues. One of the more frequently asked questions relates to phone-bill charges, such as the Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund (TIF) and the Texas Universal Service Fund (TUSF). There has been some confusion about the difference between the TIF and the TUSF. These funds are separate entities; however, both are assessments against telecommunication-service providers. All service providers, including wireless, pager, local and long distance telephone companies, must pay the TUSF assessment. They have the option of passing the charge on to their customers, and most do. In 1987 when the Texas Legislature established the Universal Service Funding mechanism, the charges were included in the phone bill. Because of legislative action in 1999, the charges are listed separately as TX USF CHARGE. Approximately 90 percent of the fund helps local telephone companies provide service in high-cost rural areas. Without assistance from the TUSF, a son living in a city might have difficulty checking on his elderly father who insists on living alone on a remote ranch. Without the TUSF, the cost of running phone lines to rural areas would be prohibitive.
