Extractions: (Spanish Version) By Phil Hatlen, Superintendent, Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired In this country, inclusion had its serious beginnings in the 1950s. By the end of the 1970s, it was firmly established as the most popular, most desirable educational placement for many blind and visually impaired children. This did not happen easily, and many serious conflicts caused what should have been an exciting, wonderful era in our history to be less than joyful. Most significant among these conflicts was that schools for the blind were left out of the movement toward inclusion; in fact, they were often thought to be inhibitors of inclusion. The result was years of suspicion, hostility, turf wars, and less than adequate attention paid to the individual needs of children. Even today, there are children who are receiving inadequate services, not because the services are not available, but because they are the victims of misguided philosophic differences. This applies equally to blind and visually impaired students in schools for the blind and in local schools. "Evolution" implies a gradual, steady movement. This is what has happened to schools for the blind in the U.S. Before the second half of the 20

Extractions: Thursday September 08, 2005 School transportation [from Aug 98] Subj: School Transportation Date: 98-08-10 08:34:42 EDT Hi All, My daughter Jessica is three and will be attending a special needs preschool from 9 until 1. I requested transportation from the school to the daycare (her dad will take her to school). When I got the transportation letter from the school it indicated that she would be on the bus from 1 until 3!! Two Hours!! Is this typical Jessica cannot tolerate the heat and there is no way I want her on that bus for 2 hours? I would be interested to hear if other parents have had this problem. At the Rett conference, I heard some conversations about the school systems providing A/C transportation because their daughter couldn't sweat....Any info would be very helpful. Gail Mom to Jessi (RS) 3 Subj: Re: School Transportation Date: 98-08-10 09:01:45 EDT Sometime if you explain the situation they can pick her up last and bring her home first on the bus but it would depend where you live , in reference to the route they are driving. Do they have an aide on the bus to take care of her in route? Talk it over with them and explain your reasons for her not to be on a hot bus that long.

Extractions: Elm Creek as a Community Location Elm Creek, Nebraska, only a mile from the western border of Buffalo County, sits three miles north of the Platte River. Though it passes the historic Lincoln Highway, U.S. Route 30; just south of it, on the north side of the river, runs the modern counterpart of the Oregon Trail, Interstate 80. Sitting only fifteen miles west of Kearney, Nebraska, Elm Creek is near what is considered by some as the center of the U.S. because it sits nearly 1733 miles from each coast. Elm Creek's Platte Valley was an important overland route for fur traders, gold seekers, and settlers before the railroad plowed through and laid tracks in this valley. The Union Pacific railroad played a major part in the town's development. According to Elm Creek , the town's 125 th Anniversary book, "Elm Creek was established in August 1866 when the Union Pacific built its track through Buffalo County, choosing this area as a railroad siting because of the red elm trees along what now are the town's creek banks. Naturally, the railroad needed both water and wood, so Elm Creek (which originally was spelled as one word) was the perfect spot. The village was incorporated in January 1887. Education In the 1990's as the new Millennium developed, Elm Creek's K-12 district boasted 350-360 students.
