Candidate Questionnaires: Dave Donley Republican; Senate District M Education Question 1: Do you think schools should be required to have classes in Alaska History? As a legislator, what do you intend to do about this issue? I think every Alaskan School should teach Alaska History. Question 2: Since the 1999 Senate Bill 36 was enacted, rural schools receive proportionally less funding than urban schools. School districts receive money on a "per student" basis, and basic necessities such as building maintenance suffer, there are fewer extracurricular activities, and there is a high turnover in teachers. Do you support this funding mechanism? As a legislator, what do you intend to do about this issue? I support funding educational based on an objective study of the cost of providing quality education.

The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers.

Special Education Service Agency - Fall '96 Newsletter Something is Really Happening Here! By Tom Ryan, superintendent, Aleutians East Borough Schools When children go to school they leave the comfort and protection of a home situation and enter an entirely new world. Most teachers are well trained, know what to expect of children, and try to help them succeed as individuals. However, sometimes a child doesnÕt seem to be learning as well as expected or behaves in such a way that the teacher needs help from specialists with advanced training. This is when the special education teacher is asked for advice and the parent(s) is asked to join the team in order to study how to help the child succeed. ÒSomething is happening here, but we donÕt know what it is. Do you, Mr. Jones?Ó I have worked as a rural teacher in a small school and an administrator in rural Alaska since 1974 and I am often reminded of that refrain from an old Bob Dylan song whenever a teacher asks for help with a student. In my experience, most teachers resent labeling kids, want to avoid the hassle of a special education referral, assessment, child-study team meetings, parental permission to test, IEP meetings and the resentment, guilt, and anger generated by this system. It is not an easy process. I have worked in schools (districts) that purposely minimized referral and assessment out of an unspoken (certainly unwritten) conviction that special education identification does more harm than good. Or that the system doesnÕt and cannot really provide the resources for substantially improved services for rural kidsÑat least none that outweigh the stigmatization.

JOHNSON O'MALLEY ACT PROMOTES NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION Darrell Watchman, Navajo Division of Education Forum v17 n6, Fall 1994 The Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) Act of April 16, 1934, was a basic federal aid program specifically designed to provide funds to local off-reservation communities and other Indian-owned, tax exempt land areas where Indian tribal life was largely broken up and Indians were mixed with the general population. Funds were primarily earmarked for education but could be used for other purposes such as education, medical attention, agricultural assistance, and social welfare. In 1958, when P.L. 81-874 was amended to include assistance for educating Indian children, the JOM program became a supplemental aid program. Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Indian Education Programs(BIA-OIEP) The BIA-OIEP Branch of Elementary and Secondary Education administers the JOM program through contracts with tribes, tribal organizations, school districts, and state education agencies (SEAs). Indian students from age 3 through twelfth grade, except those enrolled in BIA or sectarian schools, are eligible for benefits under the JOM contract if they are 1/4 or more Indian blood. In FY 94, the BIA funded 324 JOM contracts in 32 states, including Alaska, and serving 259,037 students nationwide. In FY 94, the Navajo Nation JOM program provided supplemental funding to meet the unique and special education needs of 51,108 eligible Indian students in preschool and grades K-12 in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. This was pursuant to P.L. 93-638 Prime Contract which the Navajo Nation subcontracts with 26 public school districts, five Indian corporations, and one tribal organization (Head Start).
