AFT Home Publications Winter 2003 Index ... Previous Issues Winter 2003 Special Staff for Special Kids PSRPs play vital role in providing services to the students who need them the most At A ndrew J ohnson E lementary S chool in Oklahoma City, the principal sometimes takes applicants for jobs as special education paraprofessionals on a school tour. They usually stop in Terry Goforth's room, where the veteran paraprofessional works with disabled preschool kids. That's often the last time Goforth sees the job applicants. "Once they get a view of what's involved with the job and the pay," they decide they can't handle it, says Goforth, a member of the Oklahoma City Federation of Classified Employees. Of the six children in her roomstaffed by a teacher and two education assistantsonly one can walk on her own. The job applicants "are just not prepared for special education," Goforth says, adding that starting pay for some positions works out to less than $9,000 a year. Wilma Rose, a Colorado paraprofessional working as an occupational and physical therapist, knows exactly what Goforth is talking about. "It's hard to find someone who will stay with it because of the needs that are required," says Rose, a member of the Colorado Classified School Employees Association who works in Brighton, Colo. Some of the duties are "not fun," as she delicately puts it.

After a period of public-spirited goodwill, the AFT became the first organization to call for public scrutiny of private management firms operating in public schools, and the union remains a leader in this effort. The AFT analyses of educational and business irregularities in the operations of Education Alternatives, Inc., a for-profit company brought in to manage schools in Baltimore and Hartford, led to newspaper and television news investigations, and hastened the departure of EAI from those cities. There is no evidence that privatization, in and of itself, will improve student achievement.

POSITIONS AND POLICIES ON EDUCATION Special Education FILE CODE IDEA Funding The NJSBA believes that the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) should be fully funded at its authorized threshold of 40 percent of the cost of special education. [Authority: DA 12/80-2, DA 11/97-CR (Special Education)] Federal and State Funding A. The NJSBA believes that New Jersey’s system of financing public education should enable all local school districts to provide appropriate public educational opportunities for all of New Jersey’s educationally disabled students without unduly burdening local taxpayers. B. The NJSBA believes that the State should fund 100 percent of the costs of all required special education services in excess of a district’s regular education per pupil amount. Excess cost funding for special education should be excluded from the spending growth limitation calculation. The State’s excess cost system for State aid for special education should include prior approval procedures and appropriate monitoring. C.

Preschools will be focusing more on multiculturalism Paris L. Gray/Courier-Post Five-year old Olivia Atkin colors during a preschool class at the Katz Jewish Community Center in Cherry Hill. By JUDITH W. WINNE Courier-Post Wash your hands before snack. Share the Legos. Don't shove your classmates. Listen to the teacher read a story. "Basically, preschool hasn't changed that much, in so far as finger plays and songs and arts and crafts and music," says Judy Stahl, director of the Sari Isdaner Early Childhood Center at the Katz Jewish Community Center in Cherry Hill. "Children are still 3, 4 and 5 years old." Despite computers and high expectations from many parents, as well as elementary schools, the daily school routine for young children hasn't varied substantially over the years. And may not vary in the future. But those in the early childhood field suggest some things are different or will be different. For starters, there is a new state-sponsored preschool program for 3- and 4-year-olds in the Abbott or special-needs districts. Also, mandatory certification of preschool teachers is expected to come to New Jersey's public schools later this year, first in the special-needs districts. The intention is to match young children with teachers who are specially qualified to teach young children. There are other changes, too, influencing preschool life. Stahl says the importance of intergenerational activities mixing the little ones with a growing generation of active seniors and a stress on physical fitness will become more important.

Disabled Children Need Legal Help to get Schools to Comply with Law By Lawrence R. Jones Disabled children are supposed to receive substantial educational help from their local school districts. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Or IDEA, school districts are required to provide disabled children with a free appropriate education following their third birthday, including whatever services and equipment are necessary to provide them with a meaningful educational benefit. One of the purposes of the IDEA is to protect disabled children by providing them with an educational jump in their formative years, as they struggle to overcome their handicaps. The theory is that, by investing time and money into these children while they are very young, we are helping these children. In reality, many disabled children in New Jersey are denied their rights by school districts that refuse to provide services. For many parents of disabled children, the script goes like this: First, they learn that their young child suffers from a traumatic developmental disability, such as autism. Experts advise the parents of the critical importance of immediate and substantial educational intervention.

May 6, 2000 High Rewards and High Costs as States Draw Autistic Pupils By IVER PETERSON EST WINDSOR, N.J., May 5 One family came from India, others from Greece, Italy and Israel. An Australian family is thinking about coming. Compared with those migrants, Rob and Anne Mandel had it pretty easy, giving up his medical practice and a life they loved in Indiana to get their son, Sam, the help he needed in New Jersey. Sam is autistic, and his parents' move made the Mandels part of a phenomenon in which families, desperate for the most sophisticated special education for their disabled children, have moved from other states and even other nations in search of care. But, increasingly, the needs of parents with autistic children are clashing with the bottom lines of school districts that have to pay for enormously expensive services often more than $40,000 per child per year for students who may never set foot in district classrooms, sent instead to private institutions at the public schools' expense. Most districts are sympathetic to the needs of families, increasingly armed with sophisticated knowledge about programs and treatments, who uproot themselves to get their children the best care. But many districts, particularly in states like New Jersey with programs that are magnets for families around the country and the world, say public schools are bearing too much of the cost with too little control over which children get what care.

79. Delores T. Corona -- Private (Religious) School Vouchers you’re disabled, you’re the wrong religion offer remedial programs, 30% meet ‘specialneeds’ whereas all the case of former new jersey State Senator http://www.americanatheist.org/conv25/m1-b.html

Magazine Home Print Edition SUBSCRIBE EVENTS ... [text only] Delores T. Corona Private (Religious) School Vouchers DELORES T. CORONA was introduced. Since 1985, Ms. Corona has been Director of Government Relations for the New Jersey Educational Association. She is member of the National Association of Legislative and Political Specialists for Education, and the National Staff Association of Education Association. Her address focused on “The Dangers of Private School Vouchers.” Ms. Corona began by outlining some of the goals for her group, including higher academic standards, paying attention to the diverse needs of students, smaller classes and constant teacher upgrading. She noted that in states like New Jersey, teachers in public schools often encounter a diverse range of students; she added that smaller class size and parental involvement in education must be a key objective in education reform. Corona then discussed the private voucher “experiment” proposed by Jersey City Mayor Bert Schundler; thanks to public activism by teachers and public school supporters, however, the program was abandoned by the state legislature. Governor Christine Whitman, caving in to pressure from voucher supporters, then formed a special commission which recommended a voucher scheme. Corona noted that at the present time, there is little support for vouchers in either the House or the Senate of the state legislature. Ms. Corona then suggested that many voucher supporters are motivated by a desire to erode and dismantle the public education system, in favor of sectarian, religious schools. “The motivation is not educational, it’s more ideological.”
