Special Needs Children And Their Entitlement To Transportation to benefit from his or her special education services. When a disabled child hasbeen deemed eligible for and severe weather are a problem in Northeast ohio. http://www.nessasiegel.com/special_needs_children.htm
Extractions: Special Needs Children and their Entitlement to Transportation Most children in this country are required to attend school, and generally, how they get there is a matter of school district policy. There is no requirement that schools provide all children with transportation, and many schools, especially those in urban areas, do not provide transportation to their students. However, children with disabilities often have unique concerns that do not allow them to get to school as safely or as easily as their peers. And as schools continue to tighten their budgets, transportation often becomes a target for cut-backs. Who is entitled to transportation? There are four main instances in which a school district is required to provide transportation to disabled students. They are: A district is also required to provide transportation to some private school students. If a district is providing special education services to the child, and transportation is required for the child to receive benefit from the services, then the district must provide transportation to those services. A typical example is where the local school district is providing speech or occupational therapy to a disabled child who is otherwise being educated at a private school. Courts have held that the district must provide the transportation necessary for the child to benefit from his or her special education services.

Extractions: Director, Nancy Tussing Approximately 11% of the Hilliard student population has been identified with a disability. These exceptional students have unique characteristics and needs, many of which are best met by the classroom teacher who differentiates instruction for them with support from a special education specialist. Some exceptional students require more intensive services in a resource room setting. Special education intervention specialists work cooperatively with classroom teachers and other school personnel to ensure a common understanding and response to all of our students with special needs. The full continuum of special education services is available in the Hilliard City School District. Programs serving children with learning challenges, speech/language needs and other related services are available in nearly all buildings. Children with multiple areas of disability and/or personal/social behavior needs are served in selected buildings. All eligible children receive special instruction specifically designed to meet their unique educational needs.

Untitled STUDENTS WITH special needs DAYTON, ohio There has and those students with specialeducation needs. and those labeled developmentally disabled should be http://www.udayton.edu/news/nr/050500a.html
Extractions: DAYTON, Ohio There has been much talk lately, some of it heated, on what has been described as the "eliting" of Catholic schools. Some critics claim the schools have become the realm of the richest and smartest, while neglecting the poorest and those students with special education needs. The latest edition of Catholic Education: A Journal of Inquiry and Practice (April 2000), a quarterly publication for U.S. Catholic scholars and educators, addresses those criticisms, concluding that students from diverse backgrounds and those labeled developmentally disabled should be openly welcomed in Catholic schools. The journal also offers advice and methods, based on the latest research, to Catholic educators on how to implement initiatives toward making their classrooms and schools a welcome place for educational and socio-economic diversity. This issue showcases Dayton Catholic Elementary as an example of how one Ohio inner-city school is successfully educating "at-risk" students. University of Dayton educator-in-residence Margaret Frey outlines how she began a "collaborative problem-solving model" that involved creating an intervention assistance team comprising a handful of teachers. Their goal: to meet on a regular basis to define a student's learning problem, set a goal and form a hypothesis on how the goal should be implemented. Frey taught the team of teachers the skills vital to this approach, including active listening, guided questioning, compassionate confrontation, data collection and evaluation, brainstorming and a general appreciation for the challenges of the classroom.
Extractions: Viewpoint on Public Issues, The Mackinac Center , October 6, 1997 Forgotten children. Troubled youth. Learning disabled. Students with special needs. Whatever the euphemism, these are children who are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. At the same time, many people think that these students can not be served well by the private sector either, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is time to lay to rest the myth that private schools are elitist institutions that "skim the cream" and leave all the toughest kids to the public schools. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-to-educate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private sector group to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation. Examples include Sobriety High in Edina, Minnesota, which educates 9th through 12th grade students in recovery from chemical dependency. The famed Boys Town, based in Nebraska, directly cares for more than 27,000 boys and girls annually in fourteen states and the District of Columbia. The Helicon Shelter Education Program, a division of Childrens Comprehensive Services, provides certified teachers, materials, curriculum, and academic recordkeeping on site at 27 emergency foster care shelters throughout Tennessee.

Extractions: August, 2000 Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3314 regulates the creation, governance, management and funding of community schools. These schools are defined as public schools, even though they differ from traditional public schools and are exempt from many of the laws governing public education. Community schools must have a sponsor. Most community schools are sponsored by the State Board of Education. Local boards of education may also be a sponsor. The community school must establish a contract with its sponsor. There are 31components that must be specified in the contract, including a detailed description of the school's educational programming and a list of academic goals to be achieved. The contract described the types, ages, and grades of the students in the school. However, community schools may not discriminate in the admission of students based on race, sex, religion, disability, intellectual ability, or athletic ability. Schools can choose to serve only students defined as "at-risk." If a sponsor is dissatisfied with student performance or fiscal management of the community school, or the school has violated a provision of the contract, the sponsor may terminate or fail to renew the contract at the end of the school year.

Extractions: Fulfilling Commitment Will Help All Students By U.S. Representative Deborah Pryce (R-OH,15) All children deserve a quality education, including the 6 million children with disabilities in the United States today. Twenty-four years ago, the federal government made a promise to children and families with special education needs. That promise was to provide children with disabilities access to a quality public education by contributing 40 percent of the average per student expenditure to assist states and local schools with the extra costs of educating these children. Recently, the United States House of Representatives passed the IDEA Full Funding Act of 2000 to correct this unfunded federal mandate. The legislation authorizes full funding of the program for disabled students which will free up local resources to build new schools, hire more teachers, connect schools to the Internet and provide educational programs to fit the local needs of individual schools. To meet the ultimate goal of full funding, the bill would authorize increases of $2 billion a year to meet the federal commitment to provide 40 percent of what it costs to educate each child by the year 2010.

Extractions: Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has had fully participating members with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. Dr. James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive, was himself disabled. Although most of the BSA's efforts have been directed at keeping such boys in the mainstream of Scouting, it has also recognized the special needs of those with severe disabilities. The Boy Scout Handbook Today, approximately 100,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers with disabilities are registered with the Boy Scouts of America in more than 4,000 units chartered to community organizations. Many of the approximately 315 BSA local councils have established their own advisory committees for Scouts with disabilities. These committees develop and coordinate an effective Scouting program for youth with disabilities, using all available community resources. Local councils also are encouraged to provide accessibility in their camps by removing physical barriers so that Scouts with disabilities can participate in summer and resident camp experiences. Some local councils also have professional staff members responsible for the program for members with disabilities. Advancement Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers with disabilities participate in the same program as do their peers.
