Extractions: FY 1998 Budget Summary Request BA in millions The 1998 request includes $95 million for the Magnet Schools Assistance program, which makes grants to local educational agencies to operate magnet schools that are part of a court-ordered or federally approved desegregation plan to eliminate, reduce, or prevent minority group isolation in elementary and secondary schools. Magnet schools are highly popular with students, parents, and school districts; about 1.2 million students participated in magnet programs in 1991-92, more than three times the number enrolled in magnets a decade earlier. Despite this growth, there remains a significant unmet need for magnet programs, as indicated by waiting lists at roughly half of existing magnet schools. The request would enable the Department to make new three-year awards to approximately 60 local educational agencies, as well as the third and final year of Innovative Program grants, which involve desegregation strategies other than magnet schools and which are organized around a special theme or concept. (BA in millions) Request Grants to LEAs Program Administration Total The Department's Indian Education programs supplement the efforts of State and local educational agencies, and Indian tribes, to improve educational opportunities for Indian children. The program links these efforts to broader educational reforms underway in States and localities to ensure that Indian students benefit from those reforms and achieve to the same challenging academic standards as other students.

Extractions: Parental Involvement Programs The Education for Homeless Children and Youth program provides activities for and services to ensure that homeless children and homeless youths enroll in, attend, and achieve in school; to establish or designate an office in each state education agency (SEA) and outlying area for the coordination of education for homeless children and youth; to develop and carry out a state or area plan for the education of homeless children and youth; to develop and implement programs for school personnel to heighten awareness of specific problems of homeless children and youth; and to provide grants to local education agencies. Funds for this program are used primarily to identify homeless children, and to develop and carry out plans to ensure that homeless children and youth in each state have access to a free, appropriate public education. Funds may be used by SEAs for direct education services to children to encourage participation in school and improve their chances of success. Funds may also be used to support programs for school personnel relating to homeless children and youth. When their appropriation exceeds the amount received in fiscal year 1990 the SEAs must make subgrants to LEAs for the purpose of facilitating the enrollment, attendance, and success of homeless children and youth in schools. Departments of education in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the outlying areas, and schools serving Indian students that are funded by the Secretary of the Interior may apply for funds under this program.

Kauffman, a professor of education at the University of Virginia, cautions readers not to be overly distracted by criticism and asserts that special education is a relatively young profession that uses accepted research practices and self-reflection to generate reliable common knowledge of effective instructional strategies for students with disabilities who were previously excluded from schools.

Extractions: Post-Crescent staff writer Freedom made the commitment to ensure all children equal access to a public education well before state and federal governments made it law in the early 1970s, he said. Yet, in times of tight budgets there is no denying the mounting cost of educating everyone from the blind, deaf and medically fragile to children with cognitive and emotional disabilities and speech delays. While Congress considers reauthorizing the 28-year-old law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), area school systems are picking up the bulk of the bill for an ever-growing number of special-education children. Two dozen Fox Valley school districts spent more than $62 million in district, state and federal dollars in the 2000-01 school year to educate 7,597 students with disabilities, according to the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. In the coming school year, Freedom, with a total enrollment of 1,590, will spend $1.9 million of its $12.2 million operational budget educating 215 children with disabilities.

Extractions: VOL. 16 #1 March 1996 EDUCATING RAFAEL. The 1-17-96 EDUCATION WEEK contains this article on DS/INCLUSION, plus OBERTI AND THE LAW (the case is one of 1/2 dozen on inclusion). The case indicates schools have the burden to prove why a student should not be included in a regular classroom. The Oberti's first took the school to court five years earlier, but lost. The Appeals judge in '92 said: "Inclusion is a right, not a privilege for a select few." The author (Lynn Schnaiberg) says the two sides to the case are speaking in different languages: the school saw Rafael as half-empty, but his parents saw him as half-full. In concluding OBERTI AND THE LAW Schnaiberg says: "Regardless of where educators stand philosophically on inclusion, many disability-rights advocates have made the link between inclusion and racial desegregation. And they warn that if schools don't move fast enough to better integrate their disabled children, the courts may step in to do the job for them." See Page 776 of the 21/28 December '95 NATURE for this report by the Harvard Department of Neurology (Bruce Yanker, Enders 260, 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA 02115). In the final paragraph the authors state that "increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to abnormal brain developmental and mental retardation in DS." Their final sentence says, "if there is in vivo confirmation then the neuro protective effects of antioxidants may provide an important therapeutic approach to mental retardation and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease in DS individuals."
