Extractions: cover contents editorial snapshots from around Europe ... chronicle Jennifer Tanaka According to the Bulgarian Constitution, education is compulsory for all children under the age of sixteen. Primary and secondary education is to be free for all citizens. The Bulgarian Law on Public Education bans discrimination in the field of education at Article 4(2). Nevertheless, the 1999 Welcome Pupils or Gypsy Spring documentary, by the non-governmental organisations CEGA and NOVIB, states that of an estimated 800,000 Roma in Bulgaria, about 8% are illiterate; 37% have a 4 th grade education; 46% have completed primary education; 8% have finished secondary education, and less than 1% have university degrees. There are deep-rooted and widespread negative attitudes toward Roma in the majority society and these often find expression in the schooling of Romani children. Issues such as the maintenance of lower standard vocational-oriented programs in ethnic Romani schools; transfer of Romani students to special schools for the mentally disabled; segregated classes for Roma and the exclusion of Romani children from ethnic Bulgarian schools and classes; and teachers neglect of hostile acts by non-Romani students toward their Romani classmates are some of the manifestations of such attitudes and prejudices. Romani primary school in the town of Kurdjali. As in other Romani neighborhood schools, some students begin the first grade without sufficient knowledge of the Bulgarian language, there is a lack of books and other school materials, and health problems amongst children contribute to absenteeism.

Extractions: Home Members Only What's New Site Map ... Jobs From the December 1995 Communicator At Brickell Elementary School in Defiance, Ohio, special education children were included, full-time, in the regular classroom. A special ed teacher was in the room, at least half of the day. It was a model program; principal Jerry Latta proudly reports that visitors couldn't pick out the special education students. "All of the staff could see good things," says Latta. "We felt kids with IEPs were making real gains." The program ended last year. Brickell now has 14 developmentally handicapped students, in 10 different classrooms. With no money to hire another special ed teacher, they're back to a "pull-out" mainstreaming system, which means teachers have no support in the classroom, and kids get sent to, as one disabled third grader put it, "dumb" class. "There's no question, if we had more money we'd go back," says a frustrated Latta. When it comes to special education, there are too many times when principals, like Latta, are forced to go against what they believe is best for children. It all comes down to moneyand a system in need of reform.
Extractions: Appendix A - Survey Tool During the fall of 2001 the Developmental Disabilities Planning and Advisory Council, in partnership with the Montana Advocacy Program, embarked on a series of six public forums across Montana to seek public input on developmental disabilities services. In addition to the six public forums, the Council and Advocacy Program jointly sponsored a METNET Stakeholders Priority Sharing Opportunity utilizing all satellite downlink capabilities in the state. The Council independently disseminated 3,700 written survey tools statewide seeking self-advocate, parent-advocate and professionals priorities and proposed plans-of-action, to implement those priorities. This report contains the findings of these three strategies to gather input from Montanan's on developmental disabilities services.

Extractions: 1995 Report Card on Inclusion in Education of Children with Mental Retardation In 1992, The Arc, a national organization on mental retardation, issued a Report Card to the Nation on Inclusion in Education of Students with Mental Retardation (Davis, 1992). Describing the generally dismal record of most states in providing an inclusive education for children with mental retardation, The Arc issued a call to action urging the federal government, state governments and advocacy organizations, including chapters of The Arc, to achieve full inclusion of children with mental retardation by the Year 2000. As an interim goal for 1995, The Arc called for the nations schools to be educating at least 50 percent of children with mental retardation in regular classrooms by 1995. For twenty years, federal policy (Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - IDEA), has required school districts to consider placing a child with disabilities in a regular classroom setting with the use of supplementary aids and services before exploring other more restrictive alternatives. The law also requires that alternative placements be available to meet the individual needs of a child when they cannot be met in the regular classroom. Through the years, schools have interpreted the law to mean that segregated settings such as separate classrooms and separate schools are appropriate placements for children with mental retardation. This misconception continues today on the twentieth anniversary of IDEA. The latest information available reveals that in the 1992-93 school year, 7.1 percent of children with mental retardation were educated in regular classrooms. The nation will have had to move quickly to reach The Arcs goal of 50 percent of children with mental retardation placed in regular classrooms by the 1995 school year. Because of the time gap between data collection and reporting the findings, it will be two years before The Arcs 1995 interim goal can be measured.
