Ben Nelson, U.S. Senator From Nebraska: Education The State of nebraska has one of the best education systems in the country. It is a system that has been created with the input of nebraska parents, http://bennelson.senate.gov/issues/education/index.cfm
Extractions: HOME ISSUES Saturday, September 24, 2005 SEARCH Rural Security Agriculture Banking Drought ... Kids Page As the former Governor of Nebraska, as well as a parent and grandparent, Ben Nelson has had extensive experience with the Nebraska educational system. It is a system that has been created with the input of Nebraska parents, teachers and legislators and Senator Nelson believes that Nebraskans know best how to educate their children and how to measure success. Special Education Senator Nelson has consistently supported all efforts to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) through cosponsorship of legislation and numerous amendments that would require the federal government to fund 40% of IDEA, a promise made by Congress in 1975 when IDEA was first passed, but one that has not been honored. No Child Left Behind in Nebraska In 2004, Senator Nelson cosponsored S. 1189, the Federal Fair Accountability Includes Resources Act (FedFAIR) which would allow states to opt out of certain requirements of NCLB if the federal government does not fully fund the program. The bill continues the assessments and measurement of adequate yearly progress called for under the law, but it does not punish states when they are not provided the resources needed to fully comply. Community Schools Senator Nelson introduced The Full Service Community Schools Act - S. 2912. This bill would authorize funding for full-service community schools which are school-based community learning centers that address the growing health and social service needs of students. Senator Nelson believes that community learning centers are more than just after-school programs and that their objective is to close the achievement gap between minority and non-minority students and to foster community involvement in school improvement efforts.
