Extractions: Editorial Consultant, LSU School of Dentistry They ran like gazelles and swam like schools. Once they were through, they knew what to do, which was to open wide for the annual oral screening that the LSU School of Dentistry (LSUSD) and the Special Olympics, Special Smiles (SOSS) Dental Health Program held at the 2000 Special Olympics at Tulane University. This year 60 volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and LSUSD faculty and students screened and educated 541 athletes, which was one more than last year's 540. Due in part to the services that the Louisiana Dental Health Resources/Dental Medicaid Office provides to the Louisiana developmental centers, many athletes had good oral health. "Some of those that we see in the developmental centers came through with a heightened awareness of oral health, and therefore, had little trepidation of the screening," said Charlotte Connick, R.D.H., M.S., assistant professor and the coordinator of the Louisiana Special Olympics Special Smiles Dental Health Program. Besides screening and educating, SOSS is collecting data on this population. Connick and Dr. Peter Fos, assistant dean of the Tulane School of Public Health, are in the preliminary stages of a study that thus far has data on nearly 1,100 who were screened in 1999 and 2000. They will compare the oral health of those who are in the centers to those who are not. "Sometimes caregivers at home are not getting education on oral health for this population," Connick said.

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."

Extractions: Government Finance Review , August 1996 Charter schools are illuminating education finance issues that could have implications for high-performance schools, decentralized schools, and education funding in general. As of May 1996, 22 states had some type of charter school law on the books, and more states are likely to follow. This response is significant given that the first charter school law was enacted just five years ago. Charter schools are independent public schools formed by teachers, parents, and/or other community members. Such schools are freed from most state and local laws and/or policies in exchange for a written contract (or charter) which specifies certain learner results that must be met. Each charter school law is different (as are the resulting schools), and much has been written about the characteristics of stronger and weaker laws. Charter schools formed under weaker laws tend to remain a legal part of their school district and pose few serious school finance challenges. Those schools formed under stronger laws, however, are often legally and fiscally autonomous entities. This situation is raising new issues about how charter and other public schools are funded. Charter schools with fiscal autonomy could serve as laboratories to study whether funding schools directly - versus the current system of funding districts - results in resources being more closely connected to student performance.
