Bluth Reviews OSEP Letter Offering Disabilities Transportation Guidelines WASHINGTON, DC — In May 1995 the District of Columbia Public Schools wrote the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Dept. of Education and requested clarification of its obligations to provide transportation to students with disabilities. The agency’s response, while not federal law, clarifies the Clinton Administration’s policy in this important area. Transportation is defined as a related service under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It is the only related service that is provided students outside a school building. Written by Dr. Thomas Hehir, OSEP director, the letter addresses each of the four concerns raised by DCPS. The letter is reproduced here in its entirety with only minor editorial notations to assist reader’s understanding. Hehir’s letter is addressed to Franklin L. Smith, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Public Schools. Dr. Linda Bluth offers her

12. The Education Forum: Private Sector Schools Serve Difficult To Educate Troubled youth. Learning disabled. Students with special needs. more than27000 boys and girls annually in fourteen states and the district of columbia. http://edreform.com/forum/100697tb.htm

THE EDUCATION FORUM Hosted by The Center for Education Reform PRIVATE SECTOR SCHOOLS SERVE THE DIFFICULT TO EDUCATE By Thomas Bertonneau Viewpoint on Public Issues, The Mackinac Center , October 6, 1997 Forgotten children. Troubled youth. Learning disabled. Students with special needs. Whatever the euphemism, these are children who are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. At the same time, many people think that these students can not be served well by the private sector either, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is time to lay to rest the myth that private schools are elitist institutions that "skim the cream" and leave all the toughest kids to the public schools. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-to-educate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private sector group to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation. Examples include Sobriety High in Edina, Minnesota, which educates 9th through 12th grade students in recovery from chemical dependency. The famed Boys Town, based in Nebraska, directly cares for more than 27,000 boys and girls annually in fourteen states and the District of Columbia. The Helicon Shelter Education Program, a division of Children’s Comprehensive Services, provides certified teachers, materials, curriculum, and academic recordkeeping on site at 27 emergency foster care shelters throughout Tennessee.

Senate Floor Speech Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison November 7, 2001 Page: S11515 THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2002 MRS. HUTCHISON . Mr. President, Senator Sessions and I are offering this amendment for one simple reason: We want to improve the quality of education for the District of Columbia. Our amendment will preserve an estimated $44 million for special education funding in the District. The amendment will continue a provision contained in the last three DC appropriations bills that cap the allowable fees an attorney may charge for a child's special education placement in the District of Columbia. We raise the cap in the present law from $125 an hour to $150 per hour, and a per-case limit from $2,500 to $3,000. Our amendment also continues a provision contained in last year's bill that allows the District of Columbia, acting through the mayor and school superintendent, to waive those caps if they believe it is in the best interest of the D.C. students to do so. I also point out that our amendment will prevent an estimated $32 million in retroactive attorney's fees from being awarded, as has been threatened by the D.C. Circuit Court. That court has ruled that should this fee cap be lifted, they will go back and actually undo the will of Congress by awarding all the billed attorney fees in excess of the caps during the last 3 years. Our amendment is supported by the school board and the superintendent of schools in the District. And the mayor has told me he also has supported this. They support it because it allows them to put the dollars in education for the children. They are trying to use the money for the education programs. In fact, they have put the money they have saved since the caps were put in place, that would have gone to attorney's fees, into the special needs programs, and they have increased the number of children who now can be taken into the programs.

PEER Information Brief IDEA 1997 Improving the Education of Students with Disabilities in an Era of Education Reform prepared by Janet R. Vohs and Julia K. Landau Introduction "Since the passage of IDEA, 90 percent fewer developmentally disabled children are living in institutions, hundreds of thousands of children with disabilities attend public schools and regular classrooms; three times as many disabled young people are enrolled in colleges and universities; twice as many young Americans with disabilities in their 20s are in the American workplace. We have to continue to push these trends, to do everything we can to encourage our children with disabilities not only to dream of doing great things, but to live out their dreams." —President Bill Clinton, July 4, 1997, at the signing ceremony for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (Public Law 105-17) This PEER Information Brief highlights the specific features of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA) that relate to education reform. At the heart of current education reform efforts is the belief that high expectations, coupled with proven methods of teaching and learning, will result in the higher academic achievement of all students. Yet, for the most part, students with disabilities have not been a high priority for education reformers. The recently passed IDEA Amendments help correct this imbalance. The new amendments add clear and powerful new language that parents, educators, and advocates can use to make sure that students with disabilities benefit from school reform efforts. This

Greene, Ph.D. Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Greg Forster, Ph.D. Senior Research Associate, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Executive Summary The report examines the effect of state funding systems and high stakes testing on special education enrollment. It specifically finds that: Nationally, special education enrollment grew from 10.6% of all students to 12.3% during the study period, from the 1991–92 school year to 2000-01. During this period, 33 states and the District of Columbia had “bounty” funding systems, which create financial incentives to place children in special education. Sixteen states had “lump-sum” funding systems, which do not create such incentives. New Hampshire had no state funding system until 1999. There is a statistically significant positive relationship between bounty funding systems and growth in special education enrollment. Bounty funding results in an additional enrollment increase of 1.24 percentage points over ten years.
