THE VERMONT EDUCATION REPORT - August 04, 2003 Vol. 3, No. 28 After a number of NEA complaints, the offending regulation was deleted from the final The vermont education REPORT is published by vermonters for Better http://www.schoolreport.com/vbe/nlet/08_04_03.htm
Extractions: Published by Vermonters for Better Education VBE is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose mission is to enlist parents and the public at large in achieving quality educational opportunities for all the children of Vermont by monitoring the state of education in Vermont; promoting the value of educational freedoms for all parents; and giving parents the evaluative tools with which to identify excellence. Libby Sternberg, executive director: LSternberg@aol.com ONE BID WINS QUALITY STUDY The National Center on Education Finance (NCEF), a branch of the National Conference of State Legislatures, was awarded a contract from the Vermont Department of Education (VDOE) to perform an education quality study for the Vermont legislature. NCEF was virtually alone in putting in a successful bid. According to Bill Talbott, director of the VDOE's financial office, requests for proposals were sent to eight organizations and posted on the VDOE's web site. This generated three responses - one from Odden and Picus Associates, who decided the money allocated for the study ($50,000) wasn't enough, one from Augenblick, Palaich and Associates, who said they could do it using VDOE resources and staff, and the successful bid from NCEF.

BurlingtonFreePress.com :: Education They demonstrate the challenges of keeping vermont s oldsoldier schools in service. That s clearly spelled out in the state Board of education rules http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/education/39.htm
Extractions: Community surveys suggest the town wants to keep the old school in use rather than build a new one, and supporters of the improvements say the work is long overdue. Twice before, voters have disagreed. They rejected the proposals once in 2002 and again 2003. These defeats, as well as similar ones around Vermont, illustrate the challenges of keeping old schools going.
Extractions: Back to Veterans Specific Regulations Payment for Non-VA Physician Services Associated with Either Outpatient or Inpatient Care Provided at Non-VA Facilities - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 23, 1998 to amend VA medical regulations concerning payment for non-VA physician services that are associated with outpatient or inpatient care provided to eligible VA beneficiaries at non-VA facilities. Generally, when a service-specific reimbursement amount has been calculated under Medicare's Participating Physician Fee Schedule, VA would pay the lesser of the actual billed charge or the calculated amount. Also, when an amount has not been calculated or when the services constitute anesthesia services, VA would pay the amount calculated under a 75th percentile formula or, in certain limited circumstances, VA would pay the usual and customary rate. Consistent with statutory requirements, the regulations specify that VA payment constitutes payment in full.
Extractions: Greater use of technology will permit the State of Vermont to promote itself not only as a location that offers a high quality of life but also as a location with leading-edge technology and telecommunications. As seen in the context of a life cycle, Vermont must provide as much support as possible for high technology startup companies and the foundation infrastructure required for subsequent phases of business development. We also support policies and legislation that specifically foster growth of high technology companies in Vermont. High technology companies have many attributes consistent with Vermont's image and values. High technology companies typically offer higher than average pay and benefits for their employees, generally are net economic contributors to their surrounding communities and typically have limited impact on the surrounding environment. Vermont is not alone, however, in wanting to attract high technology companies and must effectively compete with other states for these desirable companies. Vermont must have the resource infrastructure and technology backbone to effectively compete with other states for such companies.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA 2004), 20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq., provides federal funds to assist state and local agencies in educating disabled children. IDEA 2004 conditions the receipt of such funds upon a state's compliance with certain goals and procedures. State legislatures and departments of education have enacted statutes and promulgated regulations respectively to ensure compliance with IDEA 2004 requirements. IDEA 2004 and its implementing regulations require schools to conduct functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) but provide little to no guideance on what an FBA is or how to conduct one. State laws and regulations are filling the gap. To learn about your state's FBA requirements, follow the links below and contact your State Department of Education directly.

Mandatory Continuing Education Rules Vary Across New England Efforts to require continuing education (CE) for psychologists in New York vermont places a strong emphasis on mandatory CE, requiring 60 credit hours http://www.nepsy.com/leading/0503_ne_ce.html
Extractions: By Pamela Berard Efforts to require continuing education (CE) for psychologists in New York fell through in 2004 when a bill's progress was aborted at the urging of members of the New York State Psychological Association, according to reports. Nationwide, views regarding mandatory CE vary from state to state. In most states, CE requirements must also be passed through the General Assembly and are overseen by state boards such as the Office of Professional Regulation in Vermont and the Board of Mental Health Practice in New Hampshire. New York is one of nine states plus the District of Columbia with no mandatory CE requirements for psychologists. Connecticut is the only New England state without it. Betty Ann Foy, administrative director of the Connecticut Psychological Association (CPA), says its Board of Directors voted against the measure several years ago. Still, she says, "There are many opportunities within the state to get continuing education for psychologists," and many seek such opportunities on their own.
