Home What's New Email Oregon Parents United About OPU About OPU Join OPU Our stories Contact Us Resources Effective Service Providers How-Tos Articles Links News Events What's New Statewide National Education Money Returned to Federal Treasury February 10, 2004 Dear Mr. Edwards, It has come to our attention that the great State of Oregon has returned $692,200 to the Federal Treasury on September 30, 2003. Our source is the recent AP article, “ Data show states return millions to feds instead of spending it on schools ,” by Nancy Zuckerbrod http://www.detnews.com/2004/schools/0401/10/schools-31658.htm As parents and advocates for Oregon’s disabled children, we would like to know why this money was not used for our children, wasting a scarce and substantial resource in scarce times. Parents of children with disabilities who participate in countless IEP meetings across this state have been forced to beg for the Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that the Individual Disability Educational Act (IDEA) guarantees our children. We've pleaded for far too long with far too little success. We’re told it’s too expensive, there is no money. We’re told that by the nature of their disability our children’s needs are draining the regular educational budget. It’s become an infuriatingly routine refrain, seemingly seeking to pit regular and special education parents against each other.

18. Special Instruction Spending Outpaces Regular Classroom Instruction 4 To 1 “In 1992 oregon schools spent an average of $448 per student on special instruction spending for regular instruction and for special needs instruction. http://www.osba.org/hotopics/funding/crossroad/special.htm

You Are Here: Home Crossroad Special Inst. Education Funding: At the Crossroads Special Instruction Spending Outpaces Regular Classroom Instruction 4 to 1 Why are Oregon schools pinched for funds while national statistics show the state’s school funding levels per student are above the national average? In an attempt to answer the question posed above, the Oregon School Boards Association commissioned ECONorthwest to investigate the state’s K-12 funding situation since the 1990 passage of Oregon’s first property tax limitation measure and the start of the K-12 school funding equalization process. What did they find? Not surprisingly, the answers are complex. No 30-second sound bite answers emerged. Comprehensive Analysis of K-12 Education Finance in Oregon Two key factors impact the funding-level debate: Implementation of equalization, which provides comparable levels of funding for all students. Under the equalization formula, now completely implemented, districts well-funded prior to equalization dealt with budgets that grew at a much slower pace than districts poorly funded prior to equalization. Significant increases in special instruction funding. Since 1992 spending per student on special instruction in Oregon’s public schools increased 14.3 percent annually while spending on regular classroom instruction increased 3 percent annually.

EDUCATION REPORT - Learning Disabilities, Part 8: Conclusion By Nancy Steinbach Broadcast: March 25, 2004 This is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English Education Report. Today we complete an eight-part series about learning disabilities. Such disorders interfere with skills like reading, writing or thinking. Students with learning disabilities are not considered slow learners. They are generally of average or above average intelligence. But many need help to succeed in school. In the United States, some students with learning disabilities are placed in classes called special education. The teachers have been trained as specialists and work with these students full time. Other students remain in traditional classes, but receive help from specialists. The parents of these students may like this way better. Or they may not have much choice. The movement in education is to include students with special needs in traditional classes, but to provide extra help. Yet limited school budgets often mean large classes and not as much individual help as parents would like. Another concern is students who need special instruction because they are extremely intelligent. Parents say they worry that the needs of these gifted students may not be met.

View past issues Enter your email address to receive notice of journal updates: Site information How One State Serves Children with Special Health Care Needs: Medicaid Managed Care in Oregon In Oregon, where the state in 1995 enrolled all its Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disabled beneficiaries, including children, into Medicaid capitated managed care plans, a survey completed last year found children with special health care needs doing as well at getting needed services as children in the general population. The only exception was children with asthma, who were included in the survey to test how well an "intermediate" category of special needschildren who have chronic but not disabling conditionsis faring under managed care. Parents of asthmatic children reported in telephone calls that they sometimes had trouble seeing specialists or getting needed devices. The survey also found that children with disabilities who are enrolled in capitated plans in Oregon seem to get health services comparable to those received by children with disabilities who remain in fee-for-service care. In both managed care and fee-for-service, parents of one in five children reported that the Oregon Health Plan would not pay for services they considered medically necessaryfor children with disabilities, that was likely to be therapies or equipment.
