Finally, assessment of the condition of children could be an important part of accountability measurement.

Hamamoto said Lingle's budget not only slashes 163 existing special-education teaching positions, but also 76 similar positions that were added to the DOE budget to meet court-ordered Felix benchmarks. In total, the school system would face a 239-teacher shortfall, she said. DOE budget director Ed Kuyama said the administration apparently made its cuts based on criteria used before the Felix decree.

City and County of Honolulu - Continuum of Care In 1996, the City and County of Honolulu with a small group of service provider agencies began a collaboration to develop a plan for homeless persons. The group operated with no funding and little outside support. The model that they created is the foundation of the City’s Continuum of Care and the basis of a broader document entitled "Partners in Care". In February 2000, Partners in Care was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Hawaii Community Foundation. With the grant, they hired a facilitator and produced a three-year plan entitled "A Plan to Solve Homelessness in the City and County of Honolulu". The plan establishes a comprehensive and systematic approach to addressing homelessness. It provides expected outcomes and time frames for implementation of the plan.

Release #7, "The Benefits of Inclusive Education: Making It Work" Federal Disabilities Legislation Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal education program to provide federal financial assistance to State and local education agencies to guarantee special education and related services to eligible children with disabilities, aged birth through 5. Under the legislation, states have the responsibility to provide a free, appropriate public education and must develop an Individualized Education Program for each child served. Parts of this law were formerly known as the Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975, as PL 94-142 and as the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA) of 1986. Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is the state and local grant program.

CEC Conference Highlights Challenges, Awards and Opportunities Facing Teachers Members from President Bush's administration and the public should have attended the recently held annual conference by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) in Seattle , WA , April 9-12. They would have witnessed special education professionals driven to achieve excellence in their fields and fiercely advocating for the advancement of special education opportunities for students with disabilities. CEC is the largest, international, professional organization dedicated to improving educational opportunities for individuals with exceptionalities, students with disabilities, and/or the gifted. The international conference gave the 6,000 attendees hundreds of sessions, social events and award ceremonies the opportunity to augment their skills, network with colleagues and revitalize their passion for providing quality education for their students. The conference sessions and several hundred exhibits also stressed the development of interpersonal communications skills among teachers to enhance their efficiency. Scores of special education publishers exhibited thousands of books on a range of ways to deal with disabilities, to improve reading, writing, and critical thinking among students with special needs and to deal with other communication challenges students with disabilities present teachers.

Ed Case's amendment to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Star-Bulletin, April 22), which would base attorneys' fees for representing disabled students on rates set by the governor of each state. Apparently I have more confidence in our court's discretion than Case does. One wonders why the attorney general's lawyers representing the DOE are not prevailing. Perhaps the governor should seek legal advice from the private sector. The federal government, which updated IDEA in 1997, must cover a substantially higher percentage of the costs. Case would do well to redirect his carte blanche issue toward the feds who need to provide more financial support.
