Extractions: 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.
Extractions: The Master of Arts in Education degree program allows students who have an interest in a discipline other than education (and have earned at least 24 prior credits in that discipline) to specialize in that field.

Extractions: Special Services School Districts: A Center of Controversy by Maryann B. Hunsberger Special Services School Districts (SSSDs) are a hot topic among disability advocates in New Jersey. SSSDs are segregated county schools for children with disabilities. A 1971 state law allowed county freeholders to establish these schools for the education and treatment of children with disabilities. Their school boards are county-based and consist of the county superintendent of schools and six persons appointed by the director of the board of chosen freeholders. Why some parents place their children in SSSDs: Diana Autin, Executive Director of SPAN said, "Often when children are born with significant disabilities, the professionals who are first interfacing with parents—medical professionals, for example—are telling parents that their child needs to have a certain kind of educational experience. "They are conveying to families that their child should not be in typical settings because their child’s needs are too specialized. So, right from the beginning, doctors—who don’t know much about the education system, what the law requires in terms of inclusion and what kind of services are available in the regular classroom—are giving parents information that makes them think from that they need segregated settings.

Extractions: In one of the largest desegregation settlements in U.S. history, Mississippi agreed April 23 with the U.S. Justice Department to spend $500 million to improve its traditionally black colleges and speed their integration. Begun in 1975 by a black sharecropper, the lawsuit alleged that the state's black universities were inferior to those attended by whites. The settlement is expected to set a precedent for other states dealing with issues surrounding enrollment standards. The Washington Post CNN/Associated Press Los Angeles Times The New York Times (free registration) A study by Harvard economist Caroline Hoxby concludes that Milwaukee's closely watched voucher program has pushed public elementary schools to improve. According to Hoxby, the ratio of gains on standardized tests to per-student spending in public schools with voucher programs was higher than in schools in which students didn't have a choice.

He derided Ministerial views of school teachers saying: 'They no longer want teachers to be mentors who introduce kids to an objective body of knowledge. They say there's no point in teaching knowledge about anything because everything is changing. We must teach learnacy. Learnacy is the ability to manage your own learning and this idea is not coming from the lunatic fringe; it is deeply embedded in the Government.' Mr. Woodhead also revealed that the Government's Standards Taskforce spent time discussing changing the name of teachers to 'learning professionals'

Extractions: January February March April ... Back to CSIE's home page In line with Government policy, Local Education Authorities continued to announce proposals for developing inclusion. LEAs announcing special needs restructuring plans in 2001 included North Tyneside, Waltham Forest, Blackpool, Greenwich, Knowsley, Dundee, Leicester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bradford, York, Knowsley and Leeds. It was made clear that reorganisation would involve closure of some special schools but, at the same time, a continuing role for special schools was acknowledged by many. Plans for greater inclusion aroused concerns from parents and teaching staff in some areas. However, there were strong reassurances that more pupils learning together would benefit everybody. In Leeds it was said 'there was nothing to be afraid of ' regarding proposals to close some special schools in the city and in Liverpool the Assistant Director of Education spoke of inclusion being in the 'long term interests of all'. The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, provided support for the ongoing campaign to stop special school closures in Gloucestershire by praising their role. And in Blackpool councillors promised that there would be no forced inclusion. Parents would be able to choose another special school if the one their child attended faced closure.

Dobbs Ferry Schools Foundation director Michael Stewart announced that three competitive grants were won for a total of $120,000. One of the grants is for an artistic collaboration between the Dobbs Ferry Schools, the Children's Village, The Masters School and Our Lady of Victory Academy. Grant funds will also be used to expand Project DARE, and hire a supportive services coordinator for the Dobbs Ferry Schools. Village Schools Collaborate on INTERARTS Project Using a state grant of nearly $35,000, the public and private schools in Dobbs Ferry will launch a precedent-setting collaboration to bring together students of diverse backgrounds for after-school arts programs. Students will work with teams of artists, musicians, poets, actors, and dancers from the Institute for Arts and Humanities Education. Through a process known as "INTERARTS," professional art-educators will help students use artistic expression to explore multi-cultural understanding, diversity, tolerance, and the importance of building community. The funds have come from the Federal Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Act. The unprecedented collaboration has already captured the attention of the National School Boards Association, noting the creative leadership being demonstrated by each of the organizations in their desire to work together.
