Paul Hodes For Congress new hampshire schools should provide disabled children with quality and willidentify students with special needs before they fall too far behind. http://www.hodesforcongress.com/education.php
Extractions: Issues EDUCATION We have a responsibility to make education a top national priority. Providing every American with a quality education is one of the most important investments we can make in our country's future. From promoting an engaged citizenry to creating a pool of talented workers to compete in the global marketplace, education is the key to America's success in the world. Investing in education is a very simple equation. John Kerry has said that we are a nation content to spend $70,000 a year to keep someone in prison, yet we won't spend $10,000 a year for early childhood education programs. The math is simple: investing in our children saves us money down the road. We create more educated workers who contribute to the economy rather than resort to crime, drug use, or dependence on welfare. The Bush-Bass team has talked a lot about education, but they do not have much to show for it. One pattern is clear, they have both fought for cuts to education spending, and Bass has repeatedly supported voucher programs that neither save taxpayer dollars nor help public schools. Bass has voted against spending for school construction, preferring outdated facilities and oversized classes. Under the Bush-Bass administration, programs like No Child Left Behind are stalking horses for privatization. What they don't realize is that gutting the public schools would not save taxpayers money, and it would simply transfer the systemic problems to private institutions.

CSIE: 2004 Review And Month-by-month News disabled pupils did well when mainstream schools adapted to their needs. Despite the new emphasis on retention, closures of special schools http://inclusion.uwe.ac.uk/csie/csie04.htm
Extractions: January February March April ... Back to CSIE's home page On the bright side, a Leeds special schoolteacher reported unprecedented benefits from his school moving staff and pupils into mainstream together. He said the move provided opportunities and experiences which could never have been achieved in his 'special' school. New national standards for head teachers scored a first by stressing the importance of a commitment to inclusion and Bolton Institute, one of the leaders in training for inclusion, welcomed Russian education directors for a study tour. A survey by the Down's Syndrome Association had gloomy news with a third of parents saying they experienced discrimination from education staff and half reporting a lack of specialist knowledge. This report was followed by evidence of the positive aspects of inclusion for pupils with Down's Syndrome. Liz Crowther, mother of nine-year-old Heidi, spoke about how her daughter was paving the way for greater understanding and tolerance about difference for future generations. During the year it was also made clear that the reform of school league tables would be going ahead to ensure that all pupils achievements could be acknowledged. The then Education Secretary, Charles Clarke, said he was concerned that league tables were hampering inclusion by making schools reluctant to take children with special needs. Exams came under the spotlight as well with an English teacher complaining that allowing special arrangements for disabled pupils in examinations was unfair - a criticism which was promptly discounted by parents who said it was unfair not to.

North Carolina uses a flat grant system, applying a fixed amount of funding per student. Some states, such as New Hampshire, simply weight all special education students the same in their formulas. This means that a student with a substantial physical disability has the same weight as a student with a minor reading disability if both students are enrolled in special education programs. Some states have created subcategories of special education students and provided each of those with a specific weight (e.g., South Carolina and Texas). Another approach is to weight a student based on his or her ability to spend time in a regular classroom (e.g., Iowa). This system provides the student a higher formula weight for the extra time he or she must spend outside of a regular classroom. The approach New York takes is to provide all special education students with a single weight plus an additional weight based on the districts financial need.

Extractions: The U.S. Department of Education has denied Nevada's application for grant money to fund start-up costs for charter schools. A similar grant that provided $2.5 million a year for three years is about to expire. The denial might affect schools set to open in 2005. Of the 17 states that applied for funding, Nevada was one of seven to be turned down. "Some of these funding decisions are based on the nature of our state law," said Tom McCormack, charter school consultant for the Nevada Department of Education. "They're interested in funding states whose charter school laws are friendly to charter schools." Six years after Pembroke Pines, a city in Florida, started its charter school system, its seven charter schools have earned praise from parents and the state. The 5,200-student system has become so popular that at times the waiting list for the seven schools has risen above 10,000. The schools have received high marks from the state, which this year gave "A" grades to the elementary and middle schools, and a "B" for the high school. In 1998 the city of Pembroke Pines launched the charter school system in response to overcrowding at other public schools. The charter schools have some features that are rarely seen at traditional schools. Students at the charter high school can swim in an Olympic-sized pool, work on research papers at a Broward County library, and enroll in college classes taught by staff from Broward Community College and Florida International University.
