http://www.asbj.com/evs/04/accountability.html
No doubt about it, No Child Left Behind brought tremendous changes to America's schools in the 2002-03 school year. States scrambled to add standardized tests. Schools beefed up programs aimed at struggling students. And, supporters say, the landmark legislation made schools focus more than ever on helping minority, limited-English, and special-needs students. But one thing No Child Left Behind didn't do was provide a true national system for grading schools. All schools in all states must meet test score goals called Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. But exactly what that means varies widely from state to state. Each state has its own expectations and its own means of testing, making it tough to get an accurate picture of how the nation as a whole is performing. Take the following examples from the 2002-03 school year: Of course, Title I schools that don't meet AYP for two or more consecutive years face an increasing array of sanctions, ranging from having to offer student transfers to bringing in a completely new staff. So it isn't surprising that many educators look at the AYP disparity between states and wonder if it is fair. After all, why should nearly nine in 10 Kansas schools meet the federal guidelines in year one while nearly nine in 10 Florida schools fall short? WHY THE DIFFERENCES?

Districts scramble to fill special-education posts
By Scott Rothschild , Journal-World
Alicia Henrikson , Journal-World Wednesday, August 18, 2004 Increasing federal regulations, mounting paperwork and tighter budgets are turning teachers away from one of the most challenging tasks in public schools: educating children with special needs. advertisement "The way it seems is that teachers are spending more time on paperwork than with students, or they are having to spend more time at home on paperwork," said Lawrence High School's Deb Engstrom, a special-education teacher for more than 20 years. As a new school year begins, school districts across Kansas are having an increasingly difficult time finding teachers for special-education classrooms. Dale Dennis, Kansas deputy commissioner of education, said there were about 100 vacancies statewide. "This has been No. 1 in the number of vacancies," Dennis said.

A gencies that provide transportation in the region, including populations served, service area, fees and contact information There are ways to travel around the metropolitan region other than driving single-occupant vehicles. Try carpooling or vanpooling, sharing a taxi, using public transit, or taking advantage of options for seniors and the disabled. These modes of transportation reduce the number of cars on the roads, which lessens traffic congestion, decreases air pollutants, and saves you money and commute time.

Objectives of the effort have been: (1) defining broad parameters of a model program to promote health of people with disabilities, which can serve as a basis for incremental action steps, (2) winning DPH support for this concept and allocation of resources; (3) building external support for a cross-diagnosis, lifespan approach to disability and health. Methods: Given funding limits, emphasis has been on clarifying the totality of a program, while pursuing opportunities to implement limited components. Methods have included extensive discussion at the division, bureau and department levels and with federal funding agencies, and establishment of a broad advisory committee with interest in disability across the lifespan. Results: Program components that emerged from planning are: 1) a broad approach to assessment; 2) initiatives which directly address consumer health needs; 3) initiatives which promote disability awareness and inclusive program design among provides; and 4) strategies to make health and disability visible to policy makers and the public. (Specific elements, as well as the broad outline of this program, will be described in the poster presentation).

The curriculum needs to be linked to everybody."
