Mount Bachelor Academy Academics Our desire is to reawaken the love of learning with which we are all born. Many of our students performed well academically in the past and then slipped behind due to a variety of factors such as emotional or family issues, drug and alcohol use, or poor attendance. We are so successful that the majority of graduating seniors attend college. Those students that complete our program prior to graduating high school either transition to other high schools successfully or stay with us in our Graduate Residence to complete their studies. Through the emotional growth process, students are taught to be accountable for their own actions, and this includes performance in the classroom. With the support of academic and mentoring staff and their peers, students become motivated to do their best in all aspects of life, including academics. With a staff of exceptional teachers and a solid emphasis on the essential courses, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, and the Arts, students become motivated to excel and see academics as the key to a bright future.

Cable Show Education Rights of the Disabled The information below is from the Oregon State Bar's Tel-law service, a collection of recorded legal information messages prepared by the lawyers of Oregon. In addition to being online, the Tel-law service is accessible by telephone at 503-620-3000 or toll-free in Oregon only, 1-800-452-4776.

The following information regarding education rights of the disabled is brought to you as a public service by the lawyers of the State of Oregon. The material presented is general legal information intended to alert you to possible legal problems and solutions. The federal law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, and state laws provide important educational opportunities for children with disabilities. Under these laws, eligible children between the ages of three and 21 are entitled to an appropriate education, including special education and related services, at public expense. In addition, certain services are available for children with disabilities from ages birth to three. School districts must, with parental consent, provide thorough evaluations for each child suspected of having special learning needs. After completion of the evaluation, a group of knowledgeable persons, including the parents, will determine whether the child is eligible for services. If the child is found to be eligible, an individualized education program or "IEP," will be prepared for the child. The IEP includes goals for the child's education and establishes the level of services that the school will provide to attain those goals. The school must provide the services in the least restrictive placement appropriate. The IEP and placement must be reviewed at least yearly to determine if the child is making progress and to make any changes necessary.

The Advocate Family practice attorney Sonya Fischer ('88) has spent most of her career fighting for the rights of children with severe disabilities. Attorney Sonya Fischer (’88) became an advocate for children with disabilities out of necessity. Twenty years ago, she gave birth to a severely disabled child at a time when Oregon offered scant resources for families that wanted to care for their special needs children at home. In the ensuing years—whether as a social worker, legislative aid, or lobbyist—Fischer worked at the local and state level to push for policy change that would better serve parents like her. Now as an attorney specializing in family law, Fischer has gone from working to create law to defending—or challenging—it through the judicial process. "Because I worked in government, I understood how to implement a policy," Fischer said. "What I didn’t have an understanding of was how the courts are going to interpret that policy [Now] I have all the tools available." Unexpected journey Fischer’s daughter, Christine, now 20, was born with Angelman Syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder that left her unable to speak or progress past the mental capacity of a toddler. When doctors originally diagnosed Christine’s condition, the news devastated Fischer, and her former husband, Matt Fischer. Fischer admits that, in her grief, she saw little value in her daughter’s life.
