It's free! Save it. Minnesota has enacted a new law regarding billing for information services. The law's provisions, which took effect August 1, are explained here. The law requires a telephone company, when a residential customer initially requests service, to advise that customer of the availability of blocking options, including the ability to block 900 numbers. Subscribers are not responsible for information service charges incurred by "minors or other vulnerable adults" unless expressly authorized by the subscriber. A telephone company or its billing agent for information service charges must, "to the extent it has knowledge," list the charges for information services separately from charges for local and long-distance charges on each subscriber's billing statement. The bill or the portion of the telephone bill for information services must contain the following language printed in a least 10-point bold type or in capital letters:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Paul Clark April 15, 1998 (Thompson) John Brennan (Levin) REGULATORY IMPROVEMENT BILL (S. 981) EARNS WIDESPREAD SUPPORT Washington, DCSenate Governmental Affairs Chairman Fred Thompson (R-TN), along with Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), said they were pleased with the broad and growing support for their bill, the Regulatory Improvement Act (S. 981). The measure, they said, should be brought to the Senate floor later this Spring for consideration. "Our legislation injects a great deal more common sense into the rulemaking process," Thompson said. "Better use of modern decision-making tools such as risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis and peer review will help ensure that agencies produce the kind of sensible regulations the public has a right to expect." "Support for the bill is strong and growing," Levin said, "including enthusiastic endorsement by the National Governors Association, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the American Farm Bureau, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Council on Education, among others." Levin added, "We have a real shot at getting a better, more effective rulemaking process with this bill, and there is no doubt that improving the rulemaking process will result in better regulation." "The bill is based on the premise that Americans have a right to know how their regulations are made," Thompson said. "This is not a novel concept. Unfortunately it has not been a consistent part of the federal regulatory process. But it is a concept that both Republicans and Democrats canand havesupported."

National Transition Network Parent Brief - September 1999 Home Publications Education Reform: What does it mean for students with disabilities? Over the past number of years we have learned a lot about special education services. As parents of children with disabilities we have focused on educational programs that will prepare our children for life after high school. Now we are hearing a great deal of discussion about changes in the education system for all students. We hear the terms "education reform", "graduation requirements", "standards" and "assessments". What do these mean for our children with disabilities? If you have been following the changes occurring in your state and school district you probably know the education reform movement is challenging and complex. The changes will affect all children in the education system. States must a) improve the performance of all students, and b) hold schools accountable for student achievement. Every state is gearing up to meet Federal regulations and will be implementing these education reforms in different ways. To reach these goals states have been engaged in a number of activities, including one or more of the following:

Designing Individualized Education Program (IEP) Transition Plans The ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education (ERIC EC) The Council for Exceptional Children 1110 N. Glebe Rd. Arlington, VA 22201-5704 Toll Free: 1.800.328.0272 E-mail: ericec@cec.sped.org Internet: http://ericec.org ERIC EC Digest #E598 Author: Sharon deFur November 2000 The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) emphasized that students with disabilities are to be prepared for employment and independent living and that specific attention is to be paid to the secondary education they receive. The law also requires coordinated and documented planning. Early and meaningful transition planning, which actively involves students and their families, has a positive influence on students' post-school success and independence. This digest describes the process of designing quality IEP transition plans. Taking An Early, Long-Range Approach Generally, an IEP addresses services to be provided to the student during one school year. But when it comes to transition requirements, the IEP team must think and plan several years ahead. The highest incidence of dropping out and of disciplinary actions such as suspension or expulsion occurs during the first two years of high school. To combat this pattern, IDEA requires that the IEP team carefully consider post-school goals when the student is about to enter high school at age 14. Beginning at age 16 (or younger, if appropriate) a statement of transition services needed by the student must be included in the IEP.

NCREL's Policy Briefs Decentralization: Why, How, and Toward What Ends? Report 1, 1993 Pathways home page Contents Previous section ... Next section Minneapolis, MN Interview with Jan Witthuhn, Associate Superintendent, Research and Development, Minneapolis Public Schools The ultimate goal of restructuring and site-based management in the Minneapolis Public Schools is to improve student performance. Research shows that having strong family involvement correlates with increased student performance. Research also points out that if more people are involved in decision-making and planning programs, the more effective these efforts will be. In August 1988, when Robert Ferrara became superintendent, there was a focus on analyzing student performance data in new ways. This focus contributed to the movementtoward site-based management. In 1988-89, many teachers and principals in primary grades wanted more developmentally appropriate assessment and wanted the freedom to make decisions about instruction and assessment. Their requests also added to the impetus for site-based management. In September 1990, the Panasonic Foundation facilitated a meeting between the superintendent and the board of education that resulted in the school district's commitment to use site-based management to improve student outcomes. In July 1991, the board approved a "Statement of Direction and Goals for Comprehensive Restructuring" that solidified that commitment. In February 1992, the board accepted the district's current site-based management policy. The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers was a positive force for site-based management and pushed for joint discussions with the district and the administrator's union.

News Alert Charter Legislation Updates: Pennsylvania, Colorado, North Carolina, Minnesota (June 12, 1997) Pennsylvania, Colorado and North Carolina have proven that the widespread support for charter schools demands attention and action when education activists take hold of the legislative process. Meanwhile, improvements to Minnesota’s charter law are tied up in the package’s veto by the Governor, who promised to enact tax credits which were not part of the education package delivered to him on May 30th. Pennsylvania: Early this morning, PA became the 27th state to pass charter legislation permitting an unlimited number of charter schools to be started, yet ties their existence to approval by the school board. A moratorium until 1999 denies charter groups an avenue for appeal. After its expiration however, proposals that are denied can appeal to the state charter board after collecting 2% or 1,000 district resident signatures - whichever is less. It also requires 75% of the teachers in each charter be certified, but provides a blanket waiver from all regulations, excluding health, safety and discrimination. And finally, responding to pressure from school districts complaining they’d lose money, the bill provides for $7.5 million over two years for “legitimate transition expenses” which, if approved by the Secretary, would enable districts to recoup some losses caused by children who choose a charter school. The bill provides parents, teachers and civic-minded citizens with the ability to create new and diverse learning opportunities for children, and that’s what this is all about.
