    Price Laboratory 504/A.D.A Compliance Policy Price Laboratory School (PLS) does not discriminate on the basis of disability with regard to admission access to services, treatment or employment in its programs or activities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in any program receiving federal financial assistance. In regards to the enforcement of these statutes for employs or visiting adults, PLS follows University of Northern Iowa policy. Questions or concerns regarding this can be directed to the UNI 504 compliance office, 273.2846. In regards to students who attend PLS, we will evaluate, identify, and provide, if the student is determined to be eligible under Section 504, free appropriate education. Parents of the student are entitled to and will receive procedural safeguards, including individual notice and an impartial hearing. No discrimination against any person with a disability will be knowingly permitted in any of the programs and practices at PLS. Each of the programs of PLS will be readily accessible to individuals with disabilities when viewed in its entirety. PLS will furnish auxiliary aids and services to students to the extent necessary for communication with other persons unless it will result in an undue burden on or a fundamental alteration in the program. PLS has a grievance procedure for disability discrimination complaints. For a description of this procedure, on further relevant information contact: Notice to students, parents, employees, and the general public of non-discrimination assurances and parent/student rights in identification, evaluation and placement will be disseminated annually in the following manner: o announcements within the school system o posted notice within the school building PLS has established the following local grievance procedure to resolve complaints of discrimination as mandated by the family education rights and privacy act (FERPA): o an alleged grievance under Section 504 or ADA must be filed in writing fully setting out the circumstances giving rise to the grievance o the claim must be made in writing and filed with: Price Laboratory School Administration 19th and Campus Cedar Falls, IA 50613 o a hearing will be conducted according to the procedures outlined in the regulations implementing the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). o the compliance officer will appoint a hearing officer (any individual, including an official of the school, who does not have a direct interest in the outcome of the hearing) who will conduct the hearing within a reasonable time after the request was received o reasonable advanced notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing will be given to all parties o the complainants will be given full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised. They may be, at their own expense, assisted or represented by an individual of their choice,including an attorney o the decision will be delivered in writing no more than fifteen (15) days after the hearing is concluded o the decision must be based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing and must include a summary of the evidence and the reasons for the decision PLS will notify families of the AEA annual "Child Find" campaign so that individuals qualified for services under Section 504 who live within the school area can be located and identified. PLS will inform all individuals with disabilities and their parents or guardians of the school's responsibilities and procedural safeguards under Section 504, as well as those under Iowa's Special Education Regulations and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). 504 ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION 1. CLASSROOM INTERVENTIONS A parent, teacher, administrator, or student identifies a concern. Together they develop and apply various interventions. These interventions are recorded on an intervention record form. During this period, there is close communication between the school and the parent and student. These communications are recorded on a parent communication form. If the concern is not resolved at this level, one of the interested parties can sign up for a building level school team meeting by contacting the support services coordinator. 2. SCHOOL TEAM MEETING The meeting facilitator reviews the information gathered to date and may collect additional information. Appropriate ad hoc members are invited to attend the school team meeting. A team of people who know the student (ad hoc members, the teacher, the student and parents or guardians) attend the school team meeting. The concern is explored using the IDEAL model (see School Team Meeting Section). Additional interventions may be tried at this point. If one or more major life activities, such as seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, or working are determined to possibly be substantially limited, the question of 504 eligibility will be considered. If external evaluation exist that would contribute to the decision regarding 504 eligibility those evaluations will be duly considered by the team. 3. NOTIFICATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS BASED ON FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT Each parent or guardian of a child being served under or considered for 504 or ADA eligibility are guaranteed the following: o permission to inspect and review child's educational records o permission to make copies of the child's records o permission to receive a list of all individuals having access to those records o an explanation of any item in the records o the right to include an amendment to any report on the grounds that it is inaccurate, misleading or violates the child's rights o an impartial hearing on the issue if the school refuses to make the amendment o the right to file a grievance o the right to have an evaluation that draws information from a variety of sources o the right to be notified of any proposed action related to eligibility or 505 plan o the right to periodic reevaluations and an evaluation before any significant change in program or eligibility o the right for your child to be given an equal opportunity to participant in non-academic and extracurricular activities offered by the district 4. DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY If the team initiates a determination of eligibility parents must be notified of the evaluation before it is conducted. Any evaluation should be tailored to assess the specific areas of concern and the student's educational needs. If it is determined by the team, based on the gathered data, that the child has a chronic problem present across several but not necessarily all settings that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, or working; has a record of such impairment; or is regarded as having such an impairment, the student is then eligible for a 504 plan. A specific disability diagnosis is not required under Section 504. If parent is concerned that the child may have ADD or ADHD, a 504 evaluation is not mandated unless the previously outlined conditions are met. If there is a medical concern that does not substantially affect the previously outlined conditions, that information should be forwarded to the nurse and 504 eligibility is not considered. In Section 504, learning is interpreted very broadly and may include the following if the previously described requirements are met: frequent absences, frequent disciplinary referrals, extreme shyness, chronic hospitalization, chronic homebound instruction, homelessness, school phobia, students returning from private settings, suspension, expulsion, retention, divorce, death of someone near, potential drop-outs, drug abusers. 5. WRITING THE 504 PLAN If the team documents that a student is substantially limited in one or more major life activities, such as seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, or working an individual accommodation plan will be written. The plan identifies the student, areas of strength and need, outlines the accommodations needed to support the student in the regular classroom environment, identifies the person(s) responsible for delivering those accommodations, and assigns a case manager. At the time the plan is written, the dates for periodic evaluations of the program are set. For further information please contact: PLS Administration 19th and Campus Cedar Falls, IA 5061 319.273.6171

    The field of environmental technology education is a rapidly changing, multifaceted field that requires students to have access to a rich, reliable, and up-to-date resource base of information. Nearly all 1,200 community colleges in the U.S. offer some type of environmental courses. Over 100 community colleges offer one-year certificate or two-year associate degree programs in environmental technology. The constant change in federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety regulations impacts and quickly dates the curricula in environmental programs. New regulations, discoveries, and emerging technologies change the nature of the knowledge and skills required of environmental technicians. Community college libraries have fixed budgets that may curtail purchasing the wide array of supplemental materials that are current with developments in the field. This problem is drawn into even sharper focus as increasing numbers of colleges offer environmental programs via distance learning. ATEEL is an innovative, online library designed to serve the specialized needs of community college environmental technology students, instructors, and workers throughout the nation.

    Conclusion
    Introduction
    While the environmental industry did not exist before 1970, it now accounts for more than a million jobs and $180 billion in annual revenue. Born of U.S. legislation designed to clean up pollution, environmental jobs were among the fastest-growing for almost two decades (Miller, 1997). The demand for environmental technicians is constant and surpasses the ability of postsecondary education to supply adequately trained personnel. Much of the training is driven by the certification requirements of governmental agencies, and there are many more jobs in the U.S. than there are certified workers to fill them. The market for environmental products and services is evolving from pollution control, waste management, and remediation to those associated with resource productivity and environmental improvements (Canning, 1999).

    URL: http://www.state.il.us/Gov/press/charter.htm Major Components of the Illinois Charter School Law (Article 27A of the School Code) Illinois's 1996 charter law allows 45 charter schools: 15 in Chicago, 15 in the counties surrounding Chicago, and 15 elsewhere. While this cap on the number of charter schools in Illinois is fairly restrictive for such a large state, it is not unusual. Many states limit the number of charter schools initially. A local school board must approve the charter school, although the board's decision can be appealed to the state board. The state does not provide funding for start-up costs. However, the Illinois State Board of Education received a federal grant of $788,000 per year (for potentially three years) to stimulate and support the establishment of charter schools.

    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.
    Financing
    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 (
