    Extractions: Alert! Rich Disabled Pupils Go to Private Schools at Public Expense (April 18, 2002) On April 17 2002, The New York Times published "Rich Disabled Pupils Go to Private Schools at Public Expense." The article described testimony by Chancellor Harold Levy and Francine Goldstein before the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education. Unfortunately, their testimony was not accurate. URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/17/education/17LEVY.html The purpose of this Alert is twofold. 1. To set the record straight. 2. To teach you how to find answers to your questions about the law. As we go through the reauthorization process for IDEA, you are likely to read inaccurate statements from school officials. You need to know how to check these statements for accuracy. In this article, we will walk you through the fact-checking process. Reimbursement Issues Mr. Levy testified about reimbursing parents for private services and schools: "In more than half the cases . . . applicants have never sent their children to public schools, nor do they ever intend to."

Our work includes skilled intervention which has protected children from prolonged or inappropriate suspension, secured pre-suspension remedies, improved education for young people with disabilities, fostered communication between school staff, child and parent, and has helped coordinate education and related community support services. AFC has resolved over 90% of cases of children with disabilities successfully without resorting to impartial hearings or appeals. In those cases which do result in hearings or appeals, the majority have established important precedents which apply to all children in the city and state. - AFC started the Martin de Porres Day Treatment Program for poor, emotionally disturbed children, most of whom were referred by Family Court where they had been brought by parents who could not find appropriate education and related child-care services. The school continues to serve these children today. - Published "Lost Children" which documented the discriminatory education and support services provided for poor minority disabled children from multi-problem families.

Though it is difficult to obtain accurate figures, between 3 and 10 percent of college students report having physical or learning disabilities that require compensatory classroom teaching accommodations (City University of New York Committee for the Disabled, 1988; Project EASI, 1991; Smith, 1989). Such accommodations are neither difficult to provide nor distracting to the rest of the class. In fact, many of these accommodations may make learning easier for all your students.

    Extractions: By Lewis M. Andrews (Go to Print Friendly Version) f the opponents of school choice could have their way, the national debate over the use of public money to subsidize private schooling would turn on the subject of special education. With research demonstrating the overall success of school voucher programs in Milwaukee and Cleveland, and with the constitutional issue of public funding of religiously affiliated schools headed for resolution in a seemingly God-tolerant Supreme Court, defenders of the educational status quo have been reduced to fanning fears that government support of greater parental choice would transform public schools into dumping grounds for difficult-to-educate students.

In the late employees with a new Ministry of Education staffed by only people and putting each local school under the control of a community board of trustees. At the same time, the government abolished school zoning, allowing children to transfer freely between schools, even to private schools, at state expense.

    Extractions: Views News Home Advertisement July 29 Nearly a third of young people with disabilities have taken at least some postsecondary classes within the first two years after they leave high school, according to a U.S. Education Department study released Thursday. The study finds that disabled students over all are less than half as likely as their peers to have attended college in the two years after high school, but the college-going rate varies greatly by type of disability: Students with hearing or visual impairments are as likely as nondisabled students to have done some postsecondary work. E-mail Print The study looked at a group of students who were in high school in 2001 and who had finished or left high school two years later.
