Links to Advertisers Special Pioneers Out in front on the new federal mandate for special education achievement goals BY KATHLEEN VAIL Circle time in Carole Faloon's class. Ten students in a ring of wheelchairs around her, Faloon props against her knee a metal board lined with neon orange magnetic letters in alphabetical order. "Close your eyes," she says. "I'll take a letter. You tell me what letter I took away." The children, ages 5 to 9, scrunch their eyes shut. Giggling, some make an elaborate show of blocking their vision with their hands. A few peek at Faloon through parted fingers. All but three sit in wheelchairs. One girl tows a portable respirator. Faloon calls on Lamont, who studies the board, pondering the answer. The others chime in with guesses, nearly drowning out the boy's soft response. But Faloon hears him: "B . . . was he right?" she asks. His classmates clap and cheer at Lamont's correct answer. After a few others take their turns, Faloon changes the game. Now the children must come up to the board and point to the correct letter. "Tamoyya, find the Z for zoo," Faloon calls out. Joshua, one of the children who is able to walk, jumps out of his seat and pushes Tamoyya's pink-padded wheelchair to the center of the circle. Tamoyya brushes her fingers across the board then points to the Z. "Is she right?" Faloon asks. The children roar with delight.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, April 30, 2003 Nussle Hails House Passage of Key Special Education Legislation Congressman Jim Nussle said the “Improving Education Results for Children with Disabilities Act of 2003" approved by the House today will make several much-needed improvements for special education by reducing bureaucratic red tape and encouraging more local control and accountability. “As it reauthorizes the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), this legislation offers a prime opportunity to renew our commitment to students with special needs in Iowa,” Nussle said. “IDEA laws and funding decisions impact all students, regardless of whether they have special educational needs.” “As House Budget Committee chairman, I wrote the recently approved budget for fiscal year 2004 to include $11.1 billion for state special education grants. This funding level represents a 25 percent increase over the current fiscal year. Since 1995, Congress has dramatically increased federal funding for special education,” Nussle said. “Funding is only one piece of the puzzle in improving education,” Nussle said. “We must ensure that significant improvements are made to the system and that resources are used wisely. Iowa’s students deserve no less.”

76. Inclusion - Legal Requirements And What They Mean To Educators are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special education,separate schooling, Greer v. Rome City School District (1990/1991/1992) http://www.uni.edu/coe/inclusion/legal/

Legal Requirements/Court Cases The most current language of the federal mandate concerning inclusive education comes from the 1997 Amendments to the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These federal regulations include rulings that guide the regulation. The IDEA r equires that children with disabilities be educated in regular education classrooms unless "the nature and severity of the disability is such that education in the regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfac torily." This means that schools have a duty to try to include students with disabilities in the regular general education classes. http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSERS/IDEA/q_and_a.html. The IDEA states: "Each State must establish procedures to assure that, to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities ... are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special education, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disa bilities from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily." 20 U.S.C. 1412(5)(B). Dr. Susan Etscheidt, professor of special education at UNI and one of five Iowa administrative law judges, notes that in one of the first court cases to question the legal interpretation of the 1990 IDEA the Supreme Court said no one is excluded from t his requirements; everyone is entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).

The rules or guidelines for special education in the United States and its territories are outlined in a federal law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly known as the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA). Each state or territory develops its own policies for carrying out this Act. (You can read more about this law later in this document.)

In the Rear View Mirror: A Review of the 2003 Transportation Cases* Part 2 by Peggy A. Burns, Esq. In this installment of my 2003 year end review of pertinent cases affecting students with disabilities, I'll focus on cases that directly impact students. Students with Disabilities Transition programs. Despite district policy that transportation would not be provided to students who chose vocational offerings, a district was required to transport a 17-year-old disabled student to a cosmetology course. The course was directly related to her transition plan employment goal, and therefore a part of FAPE for this student. Rochelle Township High School District , (39 IDELR 58, IL, 3/28/03 ). Choice of Transporter. Parents complained when a district changed carriers, alleging that their autistic child required consistency. The original transporter went out of business, and despite satisfactory performance of an interim carrier, a third transporter won the bid under public bidding laws. Where circumstances developed beyond the school district's control, the IEP recommendation for consistency could not become mandatory. The parents could not control their child's transportation service where law provides otherwise. South Orange-Maplewood BOE

District Wins Stunning Victory in Schools of Choice Transportation Case* By Peggy Burns, Esq. S chool districts in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas can breathe a sigh of relief now that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its ruling in Timothy H. v. Cedar Rapids Community School District . The case concerned Kratisha, a special education student whose parents wanted to have her "choiced in" to a school in the district which was not her neighborhood school. Kratisha, who has cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, multiple orthopedic problems, and severe communication disabilities, attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where it is not contested that she was receiving a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Her IEP required special transportation services - a lift bus and establishment of a special route - which were provided when she attended her neighborhood school. Her parents wanted her to attend John F. Kennedy High School under the district's intra-district transfer policy. That policy provided in part: "Parents shall be responsible for the transportation of students not attending their resident area school." When the district refused, the parents filed a claim under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("§504").
