    Extractions: Home News/Events Background Legislation ... Site Search Letter: Special Education Recently, the Dept. of Education proposed changes to the special education regulations. Along with two of my colleagues, I drafted a letter to the Board of Education, which was signed by 68 legislators. Following the public hearing at which we presented the letter, the Commissioner withdrew all of the major changes which we had protested. A copy of my Op-Ed is available by clicking here James A. Peyser, Chairman Malden, MA 02148 Dear Chairman Peyser and Members of the Board of Education: We are writing to you regarding the draft regulations on special education currently out for public comment. After carefully reviewing the proposed amendments, we have concluded that certain sections of the draft regulations seriously threaten to undermine student and parental rights. We are particularly concerned because the proposed regulations fail to comply with explicit legislative directives required by sections 416 and 417 of chapter 159 of the Acts of 2000. It is most troubling to review proposed regulations that clearly contravene the legislative requirement that the Board of Education "continue in effect and enforce" key regulatory provisions in effect on January 1, 1999.

    http://www.massadvocates.org/special_education
    
    Extractions: Trauma and Learning Policy Initiative From its beginnings, the cornerstone of MAC’s work has been helping children with disabilities. MAC’s first report in 1970 found that children with disabilities were being unfairly and systematically excluded from school in Boston . That report led the way to the enactment of Massachusetts ’ groundbreaking law, Chapter 766. However, just because the Legislature enacted a law didn’t mean that school districts would follow it. By the late 1970s, MAC had to sue the Boston Public Schools to live up to its obligations. That lawsuit was in force for over 20 years to assure that the needs of children were met. In the late 1990s, in face of efforts in the Legislature to weaken Chapter 766, it was MAC that played a lead role in organizing a statewide coalition of parents, teachers, school superintendents and others to preserve essential services, protections and funding. MAC continues to actively advocate for the rights of children with disabilities. Goal of the Inclusion Project: MAC's goal is to ensure that children with disabilities receive the services and accommodations necessary to participate in the mainstream of public education and receive equal educational opportunities.

The proposed changes were extremely detrimental to special education students and their families. Some of the major changes the Board proposed included: The Board of Education held hearings and received comments from the public during the month of February. MAC and others spread the word, posting alerts and mobilizing parents and advocates. Many attended the hearings and wrote to legislators and Board members. In March, the Board of Education withdrew the harmful regulations. It announced that the decision was made in response to all the input it heard during the public comment period.

    http://www.eyeoneducation.tv/reform/gorrie.html
    
    Extractions: Education Reform: Editorials Keeping the Promise of Education Reform By Stephen E. Gorrie Stephen Gorrie is the former president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association. The Education Reform Act of 1993 has brought significant benefits as well as a measure of discord to our public schools. How the state responds to the current fiscal crisis will determine if the most positive developments under education reform continue to progress. The good news: Education reform money has helped level the playing field for tens of thousands of students in our less affluent communities. And education reform has provided resources to help schools across the state develop new programs, restore and revitalize old programs, hire new teachers, and create new professional development opportunities. The bad news: Some of the new state regulations under education reform are burdensome, inequitable, and overly restrictive. The most controversial of these regulations is the MCAS graduation requirement. Teachers do not oppose testing- they administer tests all the time in their classrooms. However, a large majority of teachers (four out of five) do oppose the state's current MCAS graduation requirement. A growing number also are concerned about the state's plan to start using MCAS scores in college admissions.

34. HSLDA | Massachusetts Protects Homeschool Privacy
    massachusetts has, through Department of education regulations, included all persons aged three or older about whom a school committee maintains  
    http://www.hslda.org/hs/state/ma/200302120.asp
    
    Extractions: Homeschoolers across America have begun to wonder whether their educational records are secure from prying eyes. The federal law that protects student privacy is limited to students who are enrolled in or attend "institutions," which has usually not been interpreted to include homeschoolers. The federal protections for student privacy are far from complete, and homeschoolers are unlikely to be satisfied by the mere possibility of limited protection under existing federal law. For this reason, several states are considering amendments to enhance homeschool privacy. Massachusetts law demands a great deal of documentation from each homeschooled student. Each homeschool proposal must be "approved" in advance by the superintendent or school committee. While many states collect little or no information at all on homeschoolers, Massachusetts school districts often accumulate significant files on each homeschooler. For this reason, it is important for Massachusetts families to know and rely on their privacy rights under state law.

    Extractions: Prior to 1995, a student selected as the high school student council chaplain offered an invocation over the public address system prior to home varsity football games. A group of students, parents and alumni filed suit challenging the practice. While the suit was pending, the school district adopted a different policy whereby students first elected whether an invocation should be offered at games. A second election was then held to select the person to deliver the invocation. It was this revised policy which the Court reviewed. Chapter 2 channels federal funds to public school districts to implement programs to assist children in elementary and secondary schools through the purchase and use of instructional materials, such as library services and materials. By its language, the statute authorizes assistance by the public schools to private non-profit schools through the lending of educational materials and equipment, so long as, among other restrictions, the materials and equipment are secular in content and offered on a neutral basis.
