This application is broken into three sections: Section I contains the submission statement. Section II contains assurances regarding the eligibility requirements for Public Law 108-446 (IDEA 2004) and it contains certifications regarding compliance with IDEA 2004 and other federal laws governing federal programs. Please note, some of the assurances are currently effective and some assurances include a date for completion of changes by June 30, 2006.

It provides a comprehensive framework for managing solid and hazardous waste with the intent of eliminating or minimizing public health threats and contamination caused by these wastes. RCRA was modified with the passage of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) in 1984. An important component of HSWA was a mandate to revise the Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices which established minimum technical standards for design and operation of solid waste facilities. This mandate arose, in part, as a result of concerns about the disposal of unregulated quantities of hazardous waste at municipal landfills.

Best and worst about being a school psychologists - comments from school psychologists " The best part is simply working with kids and hopefully being able to provide intervention or services that help them. The worst parts are the paperwork and the difficulty of convincing certain teachers (usually those who have been teaching for 20+ years) that you know what you are talking about" "The best thing is working with children, teachers, parents and other school personnel. The worst part is all of the paperwork!!" "The best part is that I am in a position to help make lifelong, significant changes in children's lives, which will hopefully have a positive impact. I love coordinating information between the student, parents and school personnel. I also love working with the children and hearing what insights they have. The worst part is all of the paperwork. With having state report formats, there is little opportunity for individuality in report-writing, which I do not like!" "The best thing is working with children who continue to teach me something new everyday. I am reminded, daily, that thinking is a developmental process that is as individual as a fingerprint. I believe school psychologists serve children best when we advocate for their needs and celebrate their potential. The worst thing is bearing in mind all the regulations that one must consider when writing a report about a comprehensive evaluation. I reserve time in my schedule to read to kindergarten classes on days when I know I will be writing reports. It is too mind numbing if I spend the entire day doing dictation or writing"
