UCCSN COMMUNITY COLLEGE'S MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Nevada's community colleges, as institutions of the University and Community College System of Nevada, is to provide superior, student centered educational opportunities for the citizens of the state within the designated service areas of each college. The community colleges subscribe to an open door policy, admitting high school graduates as well as others who have personal developmental needs and who can profit from this educational experience. The specific programs offered by each of the community colleges are responses to the identified needs of the state and in particular the communities to be served. The community college mission encompasses a belief that education and training are the chief means of developing human capital for investment in the economic health of the state of Nevada. Each of the educational programs and support services provided through the community colleges is equally important.

Statewide Masterplan for Nevada Libraries 2000-2005 Introduction The Statewide Masterplan for Nevada Libraries provides direction and serves as a blueprint for development of library services throughout the state. The plan is based on input from people who attended meetings in every corner of Nevada and also reflects the best thinking of public, school, academic and special librarians. The developing draft was reviewed and discussed at regional meetings in Elko, Las Vegas, Reno and Carson City. The planning process incorporated ideas gleaned from efforts in states with characteristics similar to Nevada on the variables of population, population density and revenue. A planning background document was developed by Elko County Librarian Sara Jones as part of an internship toward her graduate degree from Syracuse University School of Information Studies. Using the above variables, Sara developed summaries and evaluations of planning documents from Idaho, Nebraska, New Mexico and Utah. Sara also reviewed the 1996-2000 Statewide Masterplan for Nevada Libraries to determine which objectives had been met and which activities had been completed. This work demonstrates the overall effectiveness of the plan in terms of impact on library services in Nevada.

What if these services are not accessible through the private sector, and then denied by the public school? In this issue: Erasing the barriers: What the law says Seeking therapy: Forstroms’ story Practical help and advice: Betty Statnick What the law says about services for the learning disabled In order to clarify the law for our families throughout the country who need these services, but have been denied, Home School Legal Defense Association filed suit on behalf of several families.

Another test for AIMS requirement The Arizona Republic Nov. 13, 2004 Parents of learning disabled students ready to press Ofelia Madrid and Anne Ryman Based on experience in other states, Arizona could face a lot of angry parents if it refuses to relax AIMS test requirements for learning disabled students. In Massachusetts, Indiana, California, Oregon and Alaska, parents of learning disabled students have sued over high school exit exams. Florida changed its requirements last year to avoid lawsuits. The lawsuits have cost states thousands of dollars and left parents, like many in Arizona, in limbo as they worry about whether their children will get high school diplomas and get good jobs. Arizona is just beginning to feel the parental heat. About 6,000 learning disabled students in the class of 2006 who took the AIMS test failed in large numbers and are in danger of not graduating. They are high school juniors in special education classes, but they test below a 10th-grade level. Arizona requires all students who test above the third-grade level to take AIMS.

Printable text version Mail this to a friend December 04, 2003 Some disabled students to be held to different standards SUN STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON Education Department officials have decided children with the most severe learning problems can be held to a different academic standard than their peers a move that will ease pressure on schools struggling to make yearly progress. The new department rule to be announced within days would affect a limited number of students deemed to have "significant cognitive disabilities" by their states. It would allow those students to be tested against standards appropriate for their intellectual development. More significantly, those scores would be counted as part of their school's performance. Currently, students who take tests based on different standards can't be considered "proficient." This penalizes schools as they add up yearly achievement, which is critical because schools that receive federal aid for the poor, but fail to make adequate yearly progress, face increasing sanctions from the government. Many schools have failed to make annual progress because disabled students didn't score high enough on tests or because too few of those students participated.
