Jeff Hunt BYU student Matt Bardsley, a sophomore from Stevensvill, Mont., teaches a seminary class at Provo High School for students with special needs. Public schools are accommodating more students with disabilities. School desks and specialized wheelchairs fill an otherwise traditional classroom in the seminary building next to Provo High School. It is a special needs class that combines students with and without disabilities to enrich the seminary experience for all. This semester, Provo High became the fifth seminary in Utah Valley to offer the program for special needs students. The seminary program at Oakridge is the headquarters for special needs religious education. Ken Payne, principal of the Oakridge Seminary, said the special needs seminary program is designed to help students with physical or mental disabilities learn the gospel and prepare for service in the church.

Privacy Policy Don't privatize special needs education By Jean Hill I was surprised and dismayed by The Tribune Editorial Board's Jan. 26 editorial in support of Rep. Morgan Philpot's special needs scholarship bill. The editorial states, unequivocally, that public schools are "unequipped" to meet the needs of severely disabled children. Utah spends $240.3 million (federal and state money) on special education. Schools are equipped to assign students with more extensive needs to teachers who have more training, as indicated by their special education license and ongoing professional development, in the required areas. Districts can assign students to schools where their needs can be met. Districts can even agree to send a student to a private school, with public funds, if the team evaluating the student finds that is best. This does not happen often, however, because the public schools are fully capable of providing the services disabled students need.

    Deseret News staff writer RALP: You won't find it in a dictionary, but it's a four-letter approach to reading that is helping students from Puerto Rico to Utah improve their skills.
    USU researcher Alan M. Hofmeister introduces puppets to students at Riverton Elementary School.
    Paul Barker, Deseret News At Riverton Elementary in Jordan District recently, aide Becky Pugmire used RALP (Reading for All Learners Program) to bring five first-graders up to par on reading. "Is that what I need?" the children read in unison. "Yes, it is a net."
    "Five is as many as we want in any group," said principal Mark Riding, who has used RALP to help students in two Jordan District schools that he has headed in recent years. He uses whatever sources he can find — the school's share of trust lands funds, state money targeted specifically for reading and his allotted classroom funds — to hire the aides needed to work with students, using the RALP formula. His four aides and other volunteers, including parents, are key to the success of the program, he said. Tutoring and heavy phonics emphasis are RALP's twin pillars.
    The program consists of a series of small books — color-coded — for children in kindergarten through second grade. They were designed based on 30 years of research about how children learn, said Alan M. Hofmeister, one of a group of Utah State University researchers who created the program.

    "As you may know, IDEA was originally enacted in 1975. At that time, more than one million children with disabilities received no public education and another 3.5 million were unable to receive appropriate programs within their schools. In 1975, the Federal courts recognized that children with disabilities had a Constitutional right to equal educational opportunity. IDEA was enacted to help States and communities meet their obligations. The program currently serves 5.4 million children. Efforts to reauthorize IDEA floundered last year, leading to the development of a bipartisan working group this year."

    Utah Contents Weather Archives Utah Politics ... Privacy Policy House OKs private-school vouchers for disabled
    By Ronnie Lynn
    The Salt Lake Tribune

    A measure to give private-school vouchers to students with disabilities cleared its toughest hurdle Friday when the Utah House voted 43-29 to send House Bill 115 to the Senate, where it has a good chance of passing.
    Supporters praised the vote as a significant victory for families, while opponents warned that the bill, if passed, could lead to more far-reaching school-choice measures such as tuition tax credits.
    Friday's 90-minute debate took dramatic turns, including an attempt to consign the bill to summer study. But in the end, representatives said they believed the bill would help students get specialized services that are not always available or practical in public schools.
    "This provides [parents] an avenue to seek the services their children deserve," said Rep. J. Morgan Philpot, a Midvale Republican who is co-sponsoring the measure with Rep. Merlynn Newbold, R-South Jordan.

    Deseret Morning News
    The public likes the idea of issuing government vouchers to let parents send special education students to private schools. But HB115, "Carson Smith Special Needs Scholarships," on Friday got trampled in a legislative protest that broke out Friday after the House hijacked a tuition tax credits bill.
    Still, bill co-sponsor Rep. Morgan Philpot, R-Sandy, believes there's hope for the measure.
    "I've noticed a lot of people who can't support tuition tax credits feel really good about our bill, and they're in disagreement with the people lobbying against it," Philpot said. "People who are lobbying against this for their turf war need to realize the people of Utah do like this."
    A Deseret News/KSL-TV poll shows 69 percent of residents surveyed support giving "a government voucher to parents of disabled students who attend a private school . . . to help pay tuition."

    *** FEBRUARY 26th, 2004 *** Utah Legislature Ignores Will of People
    A recent survey showed that an overwhelming majority (69 percent) of Utahans support giving "a government voucher to parents of disabled students who attend a private school . . . to help pay tuition." Apparently, this fact is lost on most of the lawmakers in Salt Lake City.
    According to the Deseret Morning News , House Bill 115, which would create "Carson Smith Special Needs Scholarships," got trampled in a legislative protest.
    Bill co-sponsor Rep. Morgan Philpot , R-Sandy, believes there's still hope for the bill.
    "I've noticed a lot of people who can't support tuition tax credits feel really good about our bill, and they're in disagreement with the people lobbying against it," Philpot said. "People who are lobbying against this for their turf war need to realize the people of Utah do like this."
    HB 115 was lost in the shuffle when a bipartisan coalition joined forces to kill HB 271, which would create a personal and corporate tax credit scholarship program. HB115, co-sponsored by

    The Governor has proposed a 5% budget reduction for fiscal year 2005, which begins in July, on top of the current year’s 2.5%. This will have a negative effect on the Special Needs Library of Northeast Georgia. I urge you all to contact members of your local legislative delegation to discuss the benefits of the Special Needs Library. We don’t want anyone to panic and think the Special Needs Library will be closing. That is not going to happen, but instead, I urge you all to keep checking out books and spreading the word about this great service. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me here direct at (706) 613-3650 ext. 328. Thanks, Stacey Chandler, Manager of the Special Needs Library.
