Charter Schools and Students with Disabilities: Review of Existing Data - November 1998 Appendix Annotated Bibliography on Charter Schools and Special Education American Federation of Teachers. (1996). Charter school laws: Do they measure up? Washington, DC: Author. Based on the AFT criteria for effective charter legislation, this report analyzes the legislation in 25 states. These criteria reflect accessibility to all students, high academic standards, standardized methods for assessing student performance, collective bargaining agreements for staff, certification of teachers, approval of local school districts, and reporting requirements. None of the state laws met all of the criteria. Although special education was not identified as a particular point of analysis, it was addressed in several of the criteria. For example, effective legislation should start with explicit language that ensures participation of all public school students. Schools that target students on the basis of academic or athletic ability are risking discrimination against students with disabilities. Likewise, schools that recruit "at-risk" students are not inclusive if the definition of "at-risk" is vague. Strategies for assessing student performance need to be adapted to reflect the unique learning styles and curricular needs of students with disabilities. School reporting should include student demographics that reflect the special needs of its students. Emerging Issues in Charter School Financing

Warsaw Schools Meet Needs Of Handicapped BY DAVID A. BEALL, Times-Union Staff Writer “Disabled” doesn’t mean “unable”, Tammy Ummel, director of the North Central Indiana Special Education Cooperative, told the Warsaw Community Schools Board of Trustees Monday. “We want to think of young students with disabilities as students first,” she said. “They have unique skills and abilities.” The cooperative serves 1,816 students in five school corporations – 30 public schools and six to 10 private schools, Ummel said. In the Warsaw schools alone, 784 students are being served – or 12.9 percent of the student population. Of those students: 324 have a learning disability; 28 have a communication disability; 113 are mentally handicapped; 56 are emotionally handicapped; 11 are autistic; 16 have other disabilities; 10 have multiple disabilities and 10 have orthopedic disabilities. “We’re seeing students with more complex needs,” she said. “We’re meeting those needs by taking the services to the students and having a highly trained staff to focus on those needs.” In other business, Superintendent Dr. Lee Harman announced Jefferson Elementary school was selected as one of 32 schools to receive training to become a pilot school for the Four-Block Literacy Model in Indiana.

Inclusion Battle Rife With Risk By Sarah Bainbridge Kendallville News Sun, Sunday Edition, October 15, 2000 It's a lose-lose situation when the parents of a special needs child go to battle with a school system over their child's education, says Christopher Tallo, a Pierceton pediatrician and member of the board of directors for the Down Syndrome Association of Northeast Indiana. Both schools and parents are at a financial risk when they go to a due process hearing to decide a child's future. When a party forces due process costs can reach thousands of dollars. Continuing the appeal process in the court system can cost much more. Time costs for teachers, administrators, and family members aren't figured in. Neither is the emotional toll for everyone involved. Schools are obligated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act—federal legislation which outlines special education across the country—to place children with special needs in the least restrictive environment that's appropriate. This includes making appropriate
