"I am speaking out about this because I was an educator for twenty years before I became a Senator. I speak out because as a Senator, I have been in a school almost every two weeks for the past ten years and I have seen, as you have, the inequality so many children confront. I also have seen how much difference a good system, a good school and a good teacher can make for a child. "That all citizens will be given an equal start through a sound education is one of the most basic, promised rights of our democracy. Our chronic refusal as a nation to guarantee that right for all children, including poor children, is a national disgrace. We cannot be so blind that we do not see that meeting the most basic needs of so many of our children condemns them to lives and futures of frustration, chronic underachievement, poverty and violence. "But, in the end, this is a spiritual issue for me. We must invest in the skills and intellect and character of our children, not because we know that if we do, they will be more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to be involved in crime, although that is true. We must invest in children not because they will be more likely to go on to college and to lead more productive lives, although that is also true. We should invest in the skills and intellect and character of our children because they are all under four feet tall, they are all beautiful and we should be nice to them." Senator Paul Wellstone (1944-2002)

Appendix What's in Section I: The History of IDEA Regulations of IDEA State Standards includes: Example: Interpreting Services The History of IDEA What we know as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was originally enacted by Congress on November 19, 1975, as Public Law (PL) 94-142. At that time it was called the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975. Congress enacted this legislation in response to the outcomes of two Supreme Court decisions, as well as to factual information provided by testimony in Congressional hearings that was impossible to ignore. Because there was no mandatory special education law at the federal level prior to 1975, many students with disabilities were provided an inadequate education or none at all: many states allowed schools to exclude children with disabilities from their mandatory attendance laws. If special education was offered, generic special education classes were often provided, in which students with all varieties of disabilities were placed in one classroom, or were required to attend segregated programs. Often the only choice for deaf and hard of hearing students was a state school for the deaf.

President Crockett, NASP Leaders Respond to IDEA'97 Regulations by Kevin P. Dwyer, NCSP Assistant Executive Director On October 22, 1997, the federal Office of Management and Budget published the proposed regulations for the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA '97). Just one day later in Boston, Steve Kaplan , president of the Massachusetts School Psychologists Association, voiced his association's concerns to Assistant Secretary Judith Heumann at the first federally sponsored public hearing on the proposed regulations. Kaplan's testimony targeted the regulations that guide interagency agreements; he stressed the importance of school psychologists and other related service providers in understanding the school culture for effective IEP development and implementation. At the hearing, disability advocates commended Kaplan for his recommendations. School psychology was also represented at the hearing by NASP's Massachusetts Delegate, Terry Davis , and a past president of the New Hampshire association.

Howard P. “Buck” McKeon (R-CA) announced a new effort to streamline bureaucracy in higher education policy in a speech to the American Council of Education, an organization representing postsecondary associations. “During the last reauthorization, we focused on the goals of making higher education affordable, simplifying the student aid system, and stressing academic quality,” said McKeon, chairman of the 21 st Century Competitiveness Subcommittee. “However, times have changed since 1998. We have a new administration and a new education secretary, Rod Paige, who is willing to take a new look at how the department administers higher education programs. “There is tremendous potential today for positive change, and we need to take full advantage of this opportunity.”

About Us U.S. Dept. of Ed. asking for your input on IDEA 2004 Regulations Beverley H Johns bevjohns@juno.com The U.S. Department of Education is asking for your ideas on what the IDEA 2004 regulations should say. You can e-mail your suggestions to: comments@ed.gov Be sure to put on the "Subject" line: "Comments on IDEA-2004" Remember that the regulations can not in any way contradict the law (IDEA 2004). While you may disagree with parts of IDEA 2004, this is not the place to voice that disagreement. Instead pick topics where we have a chance to influence the regulations that will be drafted. POSSIBLE TOPICS "Response to intervention" as a means of identifying students as having a learning disability: Urge that the regulations set criteria for the strict enforcement of the IDEA 2004 requirement of "scientific, research- based intervention". Point to the danger of unlimited, unscientific "response to intervention". Require public input in each State before that State can apply to be one of the 15 States that can "waive" much of IDEA law AND State regulations in the name of "paperwork reduction". Require that public input be obtained on each "draft" of a waiver request. Require that a "final version" of the waiver request be publicly available from the State on the day it is submitted to the U.S. Secretary of Education. Require that the U.S. Secretary of Education obtain public input on these State waiver requests.
