Extractions: The regulations set forth in this document are adopted pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Trustees by the Kentucky Revised Statutes. A valid parking permit or pass is required to park in selected lots on the University of Kentucky campus during restricted hours. Signs located at the entrances to these campus parking areas indicate the type of permit required, the hours of control, and tow zone. In paved parking lots, motor vehicles may be parked only in marked parking spaces. In paved lots and parking structures, two white lines specify the parking spaces for cars and trucks. Green lines indicate the parking spaces for motorcycles and mopeds. In gravel parking lots, vehicles shall be centered against wheel stops. The responsibility of finding a proper parking space rests with the vehicle operator. A PARKING PERMIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE A PARKING SPACE; however, it does grant the privilege to park in the designated area when there is parking available. Inability to find space is not a license to violate these regulations. Use of emergency flashers does not excuse illegal parking. Parking on central campus is restricted to permit holders between 5:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, unless otherwise posted. Parking zones and regulations pertaining to these areas are strictly enforced year-round.
Extractions: The class clown, the space cadet, the rude or disrespectful teenager, the "children described as immature, unmotivated, lazy, inconsistent, irresponsible"1. . . . For years, teachers, principals, and parents have tried and failed to motivate and discipline these children. Ultimately, they blame the children themselves for their school failure, saying they just don't try hard enough or care enough to study and behave. Recent medical research suggests that many of these children may not be unmotivated, lazy, or irresponsible at all. Instead, they may suffer from a neurobiological disorder called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and they can be helped to succeed in school. In fact, the school system is legally obligated to locate and evaluate children who have this disorder, and if the children are found to be eligible, to provide special education and/or related services to meet their needs.2 Unfortunately, many teachers, administrators, and other school based professionals have had little opportunity to learn about the disorder, how to identify and treat it, or their legal responsibilities to do so. Their lack of knowledge may put children with ADHD at risk of school failure and may expose schools to lawsuits.

What Alyssa Fay is accused of doing to two of those disabled kids has led to criminal charges against her. “I was very relieved," Debra Gibson says. "I feel like justice has begun to be done.” Gibson's 7-year-old grandson William is partially blind, confined to a wheelchair. He and a female classmate were allegedly ordered into the classroom bathroom, like this one. Then Fay allegedly turned off the lights, leaving students in the dark as punishment for misbehaving.

"And if it’s real dark, he just starts screaming and hollering and we have to pick him up and soothe him and make sure the light just bright enough for him.” Fay is facing seven charges, some of them felonies, including first degree criminal abuse, and two counts each of wanton endangerment, unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of an incompetent person:

Extractions: When his classmates and teachers at Pitt Academy first heard Chris Kenealy play the piano, they were shocked that his repertoire included countless classical songs played to perfection. "Although he is autistic, Chris is amazingly talented," said Orilla Baker, a retired Jefferson County Public Schools teacher who has taught at Pitt Academy on Poplar Level Road for nine years. "We decided he should share his talents with others." So, twice a week during lunchtime, Chris, a Pitt Academy senior, plays the piano to entertain senior citizens at Share Care, a facility that provides daytime activities for adults. His visits are part of Pitt Academy's school-to-work program, which matches students who have special needs with local businesses. CHRIS IS among about 30 students who participate in the program at Pitt Academy. Along with working in the school's cafeteria and assisting teachers and staff members, students in the program also work at such places as Pet's Palace, Save-A-Lot, Dare to Care and Drexler's Auto Service.

He is also a contributing editor to Criminal Justice magazine and former chair of the Sections Juvenile Justice Committee. Special Education Issues On more than one occasion this column has addressed the impact of educational issues on the representation of juveniles in delinquency cases: When a Disabled Juvenile Confesses to a Crime: Should It Be Admissible? (Winter 1995); Weapons in Schools and Zero Tolerance, (Summer 1996); School Searches After T.L.O. and Vernonia School District , (Summer 1998). However, there has not been a specific look at the legal issues presented by children who are at risk in the school system and become involved in the juvenile justice system. With the emphasis on zero tolerance and the greater use of the juvenile justice system to address problem behaviors in school, it is important that lawyers become more knowledgeable about education law. Four recent publications make it much easier to be informed about the most relevant education law issues. Sites for delinquent activity Despite the highly publicized and fear-inducing school shootings in the past decade, schools are generally pretty safe places for children to be.

Extractions: Standards-Based Reform and Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues Most of the states and many local school districts are actively pursuing the latest educational reform initiative: the use of standards-based reforms. Many of these reforms have high stakes consequences for individual students, educators, or school districts. While there has been much discussion of standards-based reform, little attention has been paid to the participation of students with disabilities in these reforms. The educational policies and practices that focus upon common, standards-driven learning for all students conflict in many respects with policies and practices which promote a highly individualized approach to the education of students with disabilities. The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the federal law governing special education, now requires that states and school districts include students with disabilities in education reform initiatives. This means that the individualized education program for these students must address issues concerning each student's participation in standards-based reform initiatives. Also, modifications in testing or assessments must be made to address disabilities.

Extractions: Fact Sheet #6 - Assistive Technology and Early Childhood Assistive technology, such as positioning equipment, mobility devices, bath equipment, therapy equipment, augmentative communication, and van lifts can play an extremely important part in the development of a young child with a disability. The major sources of funding are outlined in this fact sheet as follows: First Steps : First Steps is a statewide early intervention system which provides services to children with developmental delays from birth to age three. Services include: Evaluation/Assessment; Service Coordination; Transportation; Assistive Technology and other services that help diminish the effects of developmental delays. Services are based on the child's needs and will be identified by the child's Individualized Family Services Plan. There is no cost to eligible children and their families. For more information, contact Kentucky Early Intervention Service at 1-800-442-0087. Medicaid : Medicaid is a federal assistance program designed to cover medical costs for people with low incomes and is administered in Kentucky as the Kentucky Medical Assistance Program. Generally, income and resource requirements determine eligibility for the program, although anyone who receives SSI benefits automatically qualifies for Medicaid. To receive assistive technology from Medicaid through the Durable Medical Equipment program, a person must have a medical need for the technology and it must be recommended by a physician. More services can be acquired under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program for children under the age of twenty-one. (See Fact Sheet # 8) Augmentative Communication Devices can be provided for under EPSDT if there is demonstrable medical need for the device. Individuals can inquire about Medicaid eligibility at their local

Our Proposal Our first principle aligning the IDEA with state and local education improvement efforts so that students with disabilities can benefit from them underlies our entire proposal. In the past few years, I have visited many schools around the nation. When I go to schools, I rarely know whether the children I meet are being served under the IDEA except in the cases where children have visible disabilities. This is to be expected as mentioned above, our newest data tells us that 70 percent of students with disabilities are in the general education classroom for a substantial portion of the school day and that, with appropriate supports, most can succeed there. 2.

Landau Introduction "Since the passage of IDEA, 90 percent fewer developmentally disabled children are living in institutions, hundreds of thousands of children with disabilities attend public schools and regular classrooms; three times as many disabled young people are enrolled in colleges and universities; twice as many young Americans with disabilities in their 20s are in the American workplace. We have to continue to push these trends, to do everything we can to encourage our children with disabilities not only to dream of doing great things, but to live out their dreams." President Bill Clinton, July 4, 1997, at the signing ceremony for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (Public Law 105-17) This PEER Information Brief highlights the specific features of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA) that relate to education reform. At the heart of current education reform efforts is the belief that high expectations, coupled with proven methods of teaching and learning, will result in the higher academic achievement of all students. Yet, for the most part, students with disabilities have not been a high priority for education reformers. The recently passed IDEA Amendments help correct this imbalance. The new amendments add clear and powerful new language that parents, educators, and advocates can use to make sure that students with disabilities benefit from school reform efforts. This
