Media directory available Advocates at Rally Vent Frustration with Special Education by David Tilbury As budget negotiations drew to a close and the president and Congress wrestled over the number of additional teachers to be hired and whether school buildings could be repaired or renovated, advocates for disabled children gathered in Washington to call for an end to "special segregation." Disability radio talk-show personality Greg Smith of On A Roll hosted the October 11 event which was designed to bring national attention to a segment of the school population that disability rights advocates claim has been neglected and ignored too long. Two advocacy groups, The Association for the Severely Handicapped (TASH) and the Mighty Alliance for Independence Now (MAIN) called for an end to "special education as we know it," as well as the enforcement of the inclusion priorities set out in the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act of 1975 The law mandates that children with disabilities be educated alongside nondisabled peers "to the maximum extent appropriate". Special classes, separate schooling or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment should only occur "when the nature or severity of the disability of the child is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily," says the law.

For the past 24 years, Richard Wark has spent several months each year travelling to more than 100 colleges, universities, and job fairs around the country, recruiting teachers for schools in Georgia's DeKalb County. This year he's especially interested in finding math, science, special education (learning disabled/behaviorally disabled), and speech therapy majors. And even though DeKalb, a suburb of Atlanta, is offering beginner teachers $4,000 more than the national average of $23,000, he still finds many positions in critical areas hard to fill. "It's war out there. Everyone's competing for the same individuals," Wark says.

About Us Programs and Services Planned Giving Programs Opportunities to Server HISTORICAL SUMMARY The National Children's Home Society met in Columbus, Ohio, where Dr. J. R. Carter, superintendent of the Mississippi Baptist Orphan's Home in Jackson expressed a strong need for a children's home society in Mississippi for neglected and dependent children who were not served by orphanages. Dr. Hastings H. Hart, General Secretary of the national organization, came to Mississippi at the expense of the Russell Sage Foundation to make a survey of conditions of neglected, dependent children, and convinced the Rev. J. L. Green of Fort Worth , Texas , to visit Mississippi . The Rev. Green accepted the position of superintendent, and with his wife, organized the Children's Home Society in Meridian . He was told all that was needed was "a worker, an office, and a desk;" when he began work, he had it all but a desk. The Society relocated to Jackson and the late Governor Earl Brewer became president of the Board of Directors. The Society was incorporated under the name Mississippi Children's Home Society. Dr. Richard V. Powers donated the use of the 1801 North West Street block of land and provided funds of $75,000 to build the Kate McWillie Powers Receiving Home for Children.
