Can schools consider personal devices such as hearing aids and eyeglasses as assistive technology? Return to Table of Contents Question 38 : Are schools required to pay for assistive technology devices and services? Response: It is the responsibility of the school district to provide for the equipment, services or programs recommended in the Individual Education Program (IEP). Schools should always be mindful, however, that if the assistive technology devices and services appear in the IEP, then the school is responsible for providing for the identified assistive technology need(s). The school district may purchase the equipment, service or programs using federal, state, or local funds. The school district may also choose to access other sources such as Medicaid, Vocational Rehabilitation, the parents, and/or private health insurance policies, to pay for the devices, and services. The following points are critical to remember: Schools cannot require the parents to pay for an assistive technology device(s) or service(s) identified on a child's IEP.

Extractions: Now that the No Child Left Behind Act is law, concerns about it continue to heighten in the state. Recently, the Maine School Boards Association adopted a resolution saying the federal legislation appears geared more to urban schools and could have unintended consequences in a rural state such as Maine. Other educators also are questioning how the law will affect education in the state. "Each state has to send forward its assessment system (a plan for accurately measuring how well its students are learning) to get approval by the federal government," said David Ruff, director of school reform for the Southern Maine Partnership at the University of Maine. "There's an ongoing conversation at the state and local level whether Maine is going to make it." States must comply with the law to receive vital federal education monies.
Extractions: Superintendent Michael A. Gallagher told the Town Council on Tuesday night that School Administrative District 53 will benefit again this year from those factors. But enrollment in SAD 53 schools is expected to drop from 1,208 to 1,184 next year. "Then this is the good-news year?" Councilor Michael R. Gray asked Gallagher. "Yes, you're quite right," Gallagher said. SAD 53 board Chairman Robert K. Downs and Dawn Dugas of the Finance Committee joined Gallagher for a joint discussion with the Town Council. The goal is to share information on the SAD 53 budget, and consider ways to cut costs via joint purchasing power. Gallagher provided councilors with an informational packet on recent SAD 53 budgets. The SAD 53 Board of Directors is considering budgets that would raise taxes by 5 percent, 2.5 percent or not at all. "I really think we can keep it under 5 percent," Gallagher said. "We are lucky because our valuation has not gone up as much as in the rest of the state."

Key child care and early education trends in state legislation include an array of financing mechanisms, basic regulatory provisions, preschool expansions and quality improvements in the form of professional development and training for providers. State legislatures continued to expand financing for early childhood services in several ways in the past year. At least four states ( Iowa, Kentucky, New York and Texas ) enacted laws providing grants to programs. Some states ( California, Iowa, Kentucky and Texas ) expanded funding through local means. Several states ( Illinois, Montana, Nebraska and Oregon ) created tax credits for either parents or employers to support the care and development of young children. Legislatures in two states ( California and Iowa ) directed loan funds to improve child care services. Two state legislatures (

Home School Access Law permission to post this article at this website given by the author Many of us have been homeschooling for years under Maine's Chapter 130, the rules for equivalent instruction through home instruction. We are a very diverse group, and it has been possible for us to practice home education without the state requiring that we conform to any single educational model or method. Homeschoolers have asserted their need to choose the educational approach that is most suitable for their unique situations, and the state has not objected to a relatively wide interpretation of the provisions of Chapter 130. It would be difficult to attempt a description of all the approaches to learning that can fit under the term home education. Furthermore, since home education is not merely another academic method, it cannot be classified or explained solely in academic terminology. Home education is about education, but it is also about meaning, about personal convictions, and about the comedy and drama of family life.

Fact Sheet: Flexibility Needed Possible State Responses to New ESEA Requirements Under the recently re-authorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), states must develop assessment systems that will provide "academic assessments" of student progress in reading/language arts and math every year in grades 3-8 and once in high school. The assessments are expected to meet the following requirements: - "be aligned with the State’s challenging academic content and student academic achievement standards, and provide coherent information about student attainment;" - "involve multiple, up-to-date measures of student academic achievement, including measures that assess higher-order thinking skills;" - "produce individual student interpretive, descriptive, and diagnostic reports...that allow parents, teachers and principals to understand and address the specific needs of students;" and - ``be consistent with widely accepted professional testing standards [which includes validity and reliability], objectively measure academic achievement, knowledge, and skills..."
