23. School Spending 2002 - Who Holds The Purse Strings Two decades later, disabled students were included in public schools by the courts of school districts to make sure specialneeds and special-interest http://www.asbj.com/schoolspending/resources0502guthrie.html

School finance was once the clear and protected domain of board members and superintendents. Schools received money from state and federal governments. In some cases school boards levied local property taxes; in others, districts received tax money from county or city government. With few limitations, and most of those on federal funds, the school board then decided how the money should be spent. State authority, however, is now eclipsing local authority in school finance matters. State legislatures and the judicial system are increasingly holding the state, not local districts, accountable for an equitable and high standard of education for all children. Along with this responsibility comes state control of money and educational resources. The intensification of state authority over resources and education quality threatens to clash with America's long-standing political preferences for local government responsiveness and citizen oversight. If the trend toward state centralized financial power continues, school boards could see themselves edged out of their roles as citizen overseers of their schools. This situation did not happen overnight, of course. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, local control over schools reigned supreme. State involvement was mostly limited to building construction. With the post-World War II civil rights movement, state and federal authority over schools grew. Intervention, in the forms of judicial decisions and legislative efforts, was deemed necessary to open up public schools for all students. Racially segregated schools were struck down by

In a number of states across the nation, lawmakers and school leaders are challenging the status quo and reforming the way they pay for their schools. Their approaches vary. But their goals are the same: Simplify the process. Make it more efficient and fair. Find a sensible way to get more resources to those children with the greatest needs. Last week, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's education secretary, Richard Riordan, called for a complete overhaul of California's system, including the creation of a "weighted" student funding formula. After New Year's Day, a new panel, the Quality Education Commission, will begin tackling the numbers and the issues.

27. WYOMING EDUCATION FINANCE ISSUES REPORT  An Analysis Of The Modified Census Bas The elementary school prototypical model, adopted by the wyoming Legislature required to accommodate the special needs of wyoming s disabled children. http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2004/interim/schoolfinance/reports/map/SpecialEd.htm

WYOMING EDUCATION FINANCE ISSUES REPORT An Analysis of The Modified Census Based Special Education Program EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 1997, MAP recommended to the State of Wyoming a "Cost-Based Block Grant" for school finance. That recommendation has subsequently been adopted. As part of its proposal, MAP recommended that the State of Wyoming eventually move towards the adoption of a modified "census-based" funding mechanism for special education. This report attempts to initiate a discussion about how such a mechanism might be implemented. A modified census-based special education finance system, integrated with regular education finance, should be designed to improve the outcomes of Wyoming's special education and regular education programs, and may result in reduced costs of special education as well. If realized, these reduced costs will not stem from reduced services provided to children with disabilities. Rather, they will result from the fact that the regular education program funded in the basic block grant is intended to deliver educational services in a seamless fashion, whereas some of these services were previously delivered in a separate special education program. The elementary school prototypical model, adopted by the Wyoming Legislature and now signed into law by the Governor, included $152,514 per prototypical elementary school (or $530 per pupil in total enrollment), estimated to be the current (1995-96) average cost of special education in the state. The specific proposals to implement a special education finance system, when developed by the Wyoming Department of Education, will be a substitute, not an addition to, this current average expenditure. A modified census-based special education finance system will re-allocate this $152,514. Data eventually collected may support later recommendations to vary this initial total somewhat, although we have no present reason to believe this will be the case. For purposes of illustration, this report assumes the total will be unchanged.

Enzi, a senior member of the HELP Committee, and other committee members passed S. 1248, the Individuals with Disabilities Education (IDEA) Improvement Act of 2003 by a vote of 21-0. The bill would reauthorize federal funding for special education programs and work to improve the previous legislation by providing more flexibility for states to fund special education programs, improve access for parents of students with disabilities to information about available services, allow schools greater flexibility in disciplining students with disabilities, and help reduce paper work and litigation. Enzi's written statement and highlights from the legislation are included below.

Premium Blog Ad Blog Ads TalkLeft Classifieds Stats var site="s11talkleft" Distinct visitors The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles Main Saturday :: April 23, 2005 Bush Administration Fines Texas by TChris Apparently secure in the belief that Texas will forever be a red state, the Bush administration slapped the state for defying the mandates of the administration's signature piece of legislation: No Child Left Behind. For the last two years, the Texas Education Agency has exceeded the federal cap on how many students with learning disabilities can be exempted from regular state testing, mandated by the act, in favor of an easier exam. To quash the defiance, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings fined Texas $444,282 yesterday, a relatively small chunk of the state's $1.1 billion allotment of federal education funds, "and a sliver of the state's $33 billion annual public education budget." That letter imposing the fine was released yesterday evening, the administration's favored time for disclosing unpleasant news. Texas isn't standing alone in its rebellion.

Can I apply for federal grants online? A: Yes, you can apply for grants online. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov Q: Is it best to accept the loans (Stafford and Parent Plus) that are offered by my son's college or to apply for them from my financial institution? A: It is probably best to apply for a Stafford or PLUS loan. Federal loans tend to have lower interest rates, compared to your Financial Institution. Q: Are there any grants for disabled female students who are attending graduate school? A: Unfortunately Pennsylvania State Grants are not available to graduate students, other state agencies may offer grant assistance to graduate students. You would want to contact the higher education agency for the state that you live in. These agencies can be found in the Blue pages of the phone book. For any information regarding disabilities you would want to contact the State Department of Education for the state that you live in.
