JOHNSON, MANAGER 1409 NORTH FIRST STREET ABERDEEN, SD 57401 Internet: robjohns@sendit.sendit.nodak.edu VOL. 16 #1 March 1996 EDUCATING RAFAEL. The 1-17-96 EDUCATION WEEK contains this article on DS/INCLUSION, plus OBERTI AND THE LAW (the case is one of 1/2 dozen on inclusion). The case indicates schools have the burden to prove why a student should not be included in a regular classroom. The Oberti's first took the school to court five years earlier, but lost. The Appeals judge in '92 said: "Inclusion is a right, not a privilege for a select few." The author (Lynn Schnaiberg) says the two sides to the case are speaking in different languages: the school saw Rafael as half-empty, but his parents saw him as half-full. In concluding OBERTI AND THE LAW Schnaiberg says: "Regardless of where educators stand philosophically on inclusion, many disability-rights advocates have made the link between inclusion and racial desegregation. And they warn that if schools don't move fast enough to better integrate their disabled children, the courts may step in to do the job for them." See Page 776 of the 21/28 December '95 NATURE for this report by the Harvard Department of Neurology (Bruce Yanker, Enders 260, 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA 02115). In the final paragraph the authors state that "increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to abnormal brain developmental and mental retardation in DS." Their final sentence says, "if there is in vivo confirmation then the neuro protective effects of antioxidants may provide an important therapeutic approach to mental retardation and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease in DS individuals."

From the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) preserveIDEA@dredf.org IDEA Rapid Response Network (RRN) News Briefing April 29, 2002 GREAT RESPONSE: DREDF's RRN Staff was overwhelmed and overjoyed by the response to our first announcement earlier this month launching the RRN. Almost 1,000 individuals (primarily parents and child advocates) from across the country sent back emails saying they wanted to be involved in and receive information from the RRN. It is very encouraging that so many of you responded and that the base for building the Network is already well established. If you did not receive the first announcement or want to respond to it go to preserveIDEA@dredf.org RRN PURPOSE: The purpose of the Network is to build a group of parents and supporters nationwide who can be called on to respond to proposed amendments or concepts for changes to IDEA that might weaken, eliminate or in any way compromise the civil rights of children with disabilities during the upcoming Congressional reauthorization process and, when necessary, call on parents in specific states to respond to the positions of their members of Congress; to educate and inform parents about proposals to amend IDEA.

Speeches and Testimony Contact: Lindsey Kozberg (202) 401-3026 Testimony of Secretary Rod Paige before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce Regarding the Over-identification of Minority Students Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Washington, D.C. October 4, 2001 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am happy to appear before this Committee and to discuss with you issues related to implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), including our very serious concerns associated with the disproportionate number of minority students who are referred to special education. I am also eager to explain how these issues speak to our need to reform special education. I think it would be helpful to put these issues in context. Back in January, as you recall, President Bush made education his highest priority and laid out his education agenda, called No Child Left Behind . It has four pillars: accountability for results, local control and flexibility, expanded parental options, and doing what works to improve student performance. We started this agenda with President Bush's plan to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). I must say that I have been pleased by the bipartisan cooperation thus far in both the House and the Senate, including the members of this Committee, in reauthorizing that Act. In particular, Mr. Chairman, I want to thank you and Mr. Miller and the members of this Committee for your hard work in producing and passing an excellent bill in the House. I have enjoyed working with many of you to put the Federal government on the right side of reform so we can ensure that our schools serve all of our children well. I also appreciate the work of the conference committee, and I wish the Conference well in finishing its work quickly.

As a part of PUSH Camp, Pi Kappa Phi volunteers will build a climbing tower, an accessible haywagon and a new arts and crafts area at the Outdoor Lab. PUSH Camps are a part of PUSH America, a national outreach project of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity aimed at helping the disabled. "PUSH" is an acronym for "People Understanding the Severely Disabled." The camps provide unique alternatives to traditional spring break activities, said Eric Schmidhauser, national director of PUSH America. A part of Clemson University's parks, recreation and tourism management department, the Outdoor Lab offers numerous camps for special populations of children and adults throughout the year. "The PUSH Camps provide a great chance for the Pi Kappa Phi men to see that they can make a difference in the lives of people with special needs," said Norman McGee, camp director for the Outdoor Lab. "The camps also enable us to undertake projects that might not otherwise be possible."

June 2002 Policy in Progress: IDEA and ESEA by Libby Kuffner Nealis, NASP Director of Public Policy Congress Continues Hearings on IDEA Witnesses included parents and educators sharing success stories regarding positive behavior interventions. Dr. George Sugai, Co-Director of the Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), University of Oregon, described the successes and positive outcomes for schools using PBIS, as an example of a proactive approach to discipline. Ronnie Jackson, Superintendent of Alabama’s Dale County School District (with the highest percentage of IDEA lawsuits in the nation), said it is not right for schools to have dual discipline systems.  He admitted that it was not IDEA statute that prevented him from removing students, but the threat of lawsuits. Prior to the hearing, NASP collaborated with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) to hand deliver copies of the NASP publication, Interim Alternative Educational Settings ( IAES), to the offices of each of the 74 House and Senate members of the Education Committee.  Several staff members requested additional information about the IDEA Partnerships and resources.

"Alabama State-wide Special Education Agreement" Presented at the Minority Issues in Special Education Conference Sponsored by the Civil Rights Project of Harvard University Kathleen S. Devine Civil Rights Division U.S. Department of Justice INTRODUCTION I'm here on behalf of the United States Department of Justice to talk about a statewide special education agreement that the United States, private plaintiffs and the State Department of Education in Alabama entered into this year that addressed issues of overrepresentation of African Americans in the mentally retarded and emotionally conflicted exceptionalities and of underrepresentation of African Americans in the learning disabled and gifted exceptionalities. I. Background A. Originally, the Lee v. Macon case began in 1963 with suit against one school board by parents and children who were seeking an injunction to prevent the Macon County School Board from continuing to run segregated schools. The case was expanded in the next few years to include the Alabama State Board of Education and over 100 local school systems. At present, 82 school systems are still under court order in the Lee v. Macon cases. In 1997, Judge Myron Thompson, in the Middle District of Alabama, called up 12 of these cases against local school districts, stating that the parties should move toward unitary status. During 1997 and 1998, the parties engaged in discovery and negotiated consent decrees with what was first 12, and then was reduced to 11, local school districts. While the state was one of the defendants in each of the consent decrees, these decrees addressed local level problems.

I should have done this for others this past quarter of century and at least I will name another father of a son with Down syndrome, who dedicated much of his life to unraveling the medical and physiological facts relating to the condition: that is the late Albert Rosanova, M.D. The late Hans Zellweger, M.D. assisted me with my first pages and continued to provide articles and advice until he died. Another, with his doctorate (but not medical) was our former associate editor Ted Tjossem. Another was former Senator and great Japanese American warrior against social indifference, Sam Hawakaya. Although all of the above were great men, none surpassed Charles Kingsley in doing God's (and that of a whole lot of humans) work while on earth. The following biographical sketch was furnished by his widow, Emily Perl Kingsley , but I want to state that Charles was a past Board member of the NDSC, and that any of the leaders of the Congress this past 25 years, will attest to his humanity, conscientiousness and capability. Also, I suspect they would agree that Jason Kingsley has been and likely will continue to be a model for people throughout the world with DS or otherwise concerned with the condition. The men named above all left the world better than the world they lived in.

No. 1 A PUBLICATION FOR CHILD NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS FROM THE NATIONAL FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT INSIITUTE MANAGING NUTRITION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WELCOME TO NFSMI INSIGHT This new publication is created to communicate National Food Service Management Institute (NFSMI) research and projects to you, the Child Nutrition Professional, in reader-friendly terms. Our goal is to help you incorporate state-of-the-art information and procedures into the daily operation of Child Nutrition Programs. We hope this publication will be read, used, and shared by all people interested in the health and well-being of children. The format of NFSMI Inslght is designed to slip easily into a file or a three-ring notebook. This publication will be produced periodically. Please let us know if NFSMI Insight has been helpful and we would be interested in your ideas for additional topics. OVERVIEW OF THIS ISSUE Children who have a variety of special food and nutrition needs exist in every school district. Studies have shown that most school nutrition managers have at least one child in their school with special needs. The medical conditions reported most frequently include food allergies, diabetes, and a variety of disorders that require modifications to the texture of food. Federal regulations require school nutrition professionals to modify meals for a child with a medical authorization that his or her diet is restricted by a disability. Providing special meals need not be a costly undertaking for school nutrition services. This issue of NFSMI Insight presents recommendations for managing nutrition services for children with special food and nutrition needs These recommendations focus on administrative processes that can reduce labor and food costs.
