Extractions: The School Transportation Century I f the 18 th century is considered the period of school transportation infancy and the 19 th century is the period of the industry's adolescence, the 20 th century saw the evolution of a fully developed, mature industry. The solidifying role of the various disciplines such as construction standards, national minimum standards guidelines, scheduling and routing, federal motor vehicle safety standards, special needs transportation, railroad grade crossing safety, state and federal government involvement, occupant protection and more, have had a profound effect on the industry. Throughout the last 100 years, the industry provided more than an estimated 500 billion student rides as the ranks of students being transported swelled to nearly 55 percent of all K-12 students. As the century drew to a close, the Yellow School Bus has replaced the Little Red Schoolhouse as the symbol of K-12 public education in the United States. There is scant indication that transportation by yellow school bus will diminish during the 21 st century.

For the past 24 years, Richard Wark has spent several months each year travelling to more than 100 colleges, universities, and job fairs around the country, recruiting teachers for schools in Georgia's DeKalb County. This year he's especially interested in finding math, science, special education (learning disabled/behaviorally disabled), and speech therapy majors. And even though DeKalb, a suburb of Atlanta, is offering beginner teachers $4,000 more than the national average of $23,000, he still finds many positions in critical areas hard to fill. "It's war out there. Everyone's competing for the same individuals," Wark says.

American Indian Parent Network Tribe in south dakota, calls the network when she has any questions about Paul. Jordan said need led to the network and its particular focus. http://www.pacer.org/parent/strib.htm
Extractions: Star Tribune Staff Writer Paul Woelfle can ride a bicycle 14 miles to visit a friend, but give him a hall pass and he'll never find his way back to class. Distracted by just about anything, he can get stalled by a drinking fountain or a chance game in the school gym. Then there are the problems that get Paul kicked out of school. Like the time he was accused of using alphabet-shaped cookies to spell out violent messages on a lunchroom table. Or just recently, when the school said he disobeyed orders to steer clear of a construction site behind the school. Paul tells his mother that he feels like a reject, and the Fridley High School teachers and counselors keep telling her that he's out of control. All Elaine Woelfle knows is that her 6-foot, raven-haired, hyperactive son needs to get through high school to have any shot at a good job. That means he's got this year and two more. To keep going, Elaine and Paul Woelfle have turned time and time again to PACER, a Minneapolis-based group whose central purpose is to help any parent with disabled children secure them a proper education. Around since 1976, PACER has provided everything from books to training workshops to teams of advocates who go with parents into school meetings to advocate for their youngster's legal right to an education "appropriate" to their special needs.

Extractions: Pierre, SD 57501-5070 Re: CRIPA Investigation of Custer Youth Correctional Center, Custer, South Dakota Dear Governor Janklow: We are writing to report the findings of our investigation of conditions at the Custer Youth Corrections Center. On December 29, 1999, we notified you of our intent to investigate certain South Dakota juvenile corrections facilities pursuant to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act ("CRIPA"), 42 U.S.C. § 1997, and the pattern or practice provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. § 14141 ("Section 14141"). Those facilities were the State Training School, the Juvenile Prison, and the Girls Intensive Program ("the Plankinton facilities"), and the Patrick Henry Brady Boot Camp, the Custer Youth Correctional Center, the Living Centers, and the Quest Program (hereinafter referred to as "Custer" or "the facility"). On February 14, 2000, the State informed us that it would not permit us access to tour either the Plankinton or Custer facilities. At about the same time, private litigation was instituted concerning the Plankinton facilities. We awaited the outcome of that private litigation before taking further action. That litigation produced a settlement concerning conditions at the Plankinton facilities in December 2000. The State closed the Plankinton facilities in January 2002. On March 4, 2002, we renewed our request for access to the Custer facilities in order to confirm or deny the allegations we had received about the conditions. On March 18, 2002, the State denied our renewed request to tour the Custer facilities.
