Extractions: Austin High School and Northside College Preparatory High School are polar opposites in many ways, and special education is no exception. Austin enrolls a higher percentage of special education students than any other high school in the district; Northside has the fewest. CATALYST Senior Editor Elizabeth Duffrin researched both to find out how the lopsided distribution affected each school. Ten years ago, a school reform group teamed up with a university legal clinic to sue Chicago Public Schools and the state for illegally segregating special education students. In 1998, CPS settled the lawsuit before going to trial, agreeing to send more special needs children back to neighborhood schools and into general education classrooms. Here is a primer on that settlement. High schools bear the brunt of teacher shortage

Extractions: Click photo for larger image. Without the intravenous sedation, Simon, 53, who has bipolar disorder and severe mental retardation, would scream and would not sit still for a dentist. "There's no place near where we live that will take care of someone like him," said Darlene Cassels, a supervisor of his group home in Elk County. So the group home staff drives him three hours to the dental school in Oakland for his dental checkups. But Simon is one of the lucky ones. Dental care is so scarce for state residents with disabilities who receive Medicaid, advocates contend, that they have filed a class action lawsuit against the state. Lawyers recently submitted final written arguments in the case, which is being heard in U.S. District Court for the state's Middle District. Attorneys for the state deny a widespread problem exists, although state officials acknowledge they are working to improve the availability of treatment.
