Extractions: Moving Beyond the Politics of No Child Left Behind by Charles A. DePascale In the course of the 2000 presidential primary campaign, George W. Bush uttered the oft-repeated phrase, "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning" (campaign speech, January 11, 2000). Grammatical considerations aside, the question of whether our children are learning should be at the forefront of any discussion of school accountability in Maine. Since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), however, the politics of federal v. state v. local control, unfunded mandates, and budget crises have dominated that discussion. School accountability discussions have focused on meeting, resisting, or decrying the requirements of NCLB. There are many problems with NCLB and the U.S. Department of Education regulations interpreting the law. Since the enactment of the law and issuance of the regulations, changes have been made to address significant concerns (e.g., allowing measurement of the performance of students with significant cognitive disabilities against alternate achievement standards; flexibility in accountability for first-year English language learners; and flexibility in the procedures states use to determine whether schools have made adequate yearly progress). Of course, more reforms are needed, particularly in the appropriateness of many of the law's requirements and sanctions for small and rural states. However, although debate on the merits of NCLB is important, it cannot come at the expense of debate on the central issue of "leaving no child behind," which, to this point, has received comparatively little attention.

Extractions: Winter 2005/Volume XXI by Stacy Smith Public schools are the breeding grounds of democracy. Or they should be, because democratic citizens are made, not born. These days it is highly questionable whether public schools are adequately preparing young people for democratic public life and political participation. In fact, they may be doing just the oppositeplaying a role in the creation of an apathetic, cynical, disengaged citizenry that comprises the eighteen-to-twenty-four-year olds who distrust government and do not vote. A growing number of organizations, scholars, and policy makers are concerned that the civic mission of public schools is being forgotten, or undermined, in the context of recent reform efforts that prioritize the economic functions of schooling over the public purposes and that cast accountability too narrowly. Public schools should and can be practice grounds for democracy; public education entails education for political life. Historically, our nation has endorsed this mission for public schools. Since common schools were championed by Horace Mann in Massachusetts in the 19th century, public education has been organized around this mission and has institutionalized it in a variety of ways. Thus, contemporary educators can draw upon a wealth of theory, research, and practical advice as to how to realize the public purposes of schooling in terms of organizational structures, school policies, and teaching practices. So why isn't this happening much these days?

Extractions: Supplement The Federal and state governments have enacted laws that declare that children with disabilities are entitled to receive a free and appropriate public education. Parents are much more successful in advocating for their children when they understand the laws and regulations which protect the rights of children with disabilities. Federal laws and regulations that protect students with disabilities are: The Individuals with Disabilities Educational Act (IDEA) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and Family Educational Right to Privacy Act (FERPA). Maine has adopted Special Education Laws and Special Education Regulations that complement Federal law. The Maine Human Rights Act also applies to the educational activities and programs of students with disabilities.

Extractions: Supplement If a parent cannot get satisfaction through the PET/ECT process or informal negotiations, he or she has other options. Due process hearings are scheduled when parents, legal guardians, surrogate parents, schools or regional CDS Boards of Directors submit a written request for a hearing with Maine's Department of Education. During due process hearings, parents and school or CDS personnel present evidence to an impartial hearing officer, who then makes a decision. Disagreements concerning a child's eligibility for special education, identification, disability, evaluation, program, or placement can all be addressed through hearings. Maine's special education hearing procedures are explained in great detail in Chapter 101 and Chapter 180, Maine's Special Education Regulations. Hearings must be held within 30 days of the Department's receipt of the request for hearing. The Department will encourage the parties to resolve their disagreement through mediation, but engaging in mediation does not extend the 30-day time limit in which a hearing must be held. Parents can be represented at a hearing by an attorney and have the right to present evidence and to confront, cross-examine, and compel the attendance of witnesses.

Extractions: The Guide to Special Education in Maine Index Introduction . Chapters: Parental rights and responsibilities are based on federal law that was first enacted in 1975. PL 94-142 was the landmark civil rights legislation passed by Congress in 1975 that stated that all children, including children with disabilities, are entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This legislation was titled the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EHA). It has since been renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and encompasses services to children ages birth to 20. In 1997, Congress reauthorized the IDEA, which serves as the foundation upon which Maine's Department of Education Special Education Regulations (MSER) are based (both Chapters 101 and 180 ). The MSER reflect federal law by providing one set of regulations that govern services for preschool children ages birth through 5 (Chapter 180 Regulations) and a separate set of regulations that govern special education services for school-age children ages 5 to 20 (Chapter 101 Regulations). Early Intervention Services are designed to address the developmental needs of infants and toddlers with disabilities ages birth through 2. For children who continue to be eligible, these services may be followed by Special Education and Related Services for children ages 3 tthrough 5. The agency responsible for providing these services for eligible children in Maine is known as Child Development Services (CDS) through the Maine Department of Education (MDOE).

Please note the references in this memorandum are to IDEA regulations and to section 504. these are Federal laws.
