New Mexico School For The Visually Handicapped new mexico fails to make appropriate determinations about the necessity for educatedwith children who are not disabled, and that special classes, separate http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/split/documents/nmblindfind.htm
Extractions: Dear Governor Johnson: et seq . We conducted our investigation by touring the School with two consultants from April 23-26, 1997; reviewing documents; and meeting with current and former staff, students and their families, and other interested persons. Our review of documents included numerous School and State documents and individual students' records. NMSVH is a residential facility, established in 1903 for the purpose of educating students with visual impairments. The census of students at the School, which once numbered two hundred or more, has dropped in recent years to between sixty-five and seventy students. The number of students in attendance fluctuates during the school year primarily as a result of expulsions and removal of students by their parents. The School educates some of its students year-round, while other students return home for the summer term. The School's summer program is open to young people who do not attend the School during the regular school year. Approximately half of the students at NMSVH have one or more disabilities in addition to their visual impairment; some of these children are nonverbal. Many of the students have behavior problems and some have significant medical needs. At least half of the students at the School are considered to be of average or above average intelligence.

Extractions: Bart Pisha: Research Director, CAST Bart Pisha, Ed.D.'93, almost missed being interviewed for this story because he couldn't find his car. Returning to Boston from a weeklong conference in New Mexico, he'd taken a cab straight home, forgetting that he'd left his car at work to avoid paying for parking. In many ways, Pisha, who squeaked through high school and dropped out of college twice, is the perfect person to oversee research at CAST. Not only does he have a great mind for elaborate, conceptual investigative projects, he also knows what it's like to be an atypical learner. A husky, avuncular man in his mid-fifties, he fidgets like a teenager when he's forced to sit still. His diagnosed attention deficit disorder makes organization and memorization uncommonly difficult. "This car thing is not an isolated incident," he says. "I'm very forgetful. I can't just tell somebody, 'I'll call you next week,' because I won't." Numbers are the worst, he says. When calling a close colleague, for instance, he has to refer repeatedly to the phone book because he can't remember number sequences from moment to moment. He can tell you that he and his wife just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary, but not, off the top of his head, the year in which they got married.

Stateline.org: Lobbying Season Opens For Special Education the full cost of educating learning disabled children even would have moved moneyfor special education from budget shortfalls and the new federal education http://www.stateline.org/story.do?storyId=225070
Extractions: Forum v17 n6, Fall 1994 The Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) Act of April 16, 1934, was a basic federal aid program specifically designed to provide funds to local off-reservation communities and other Indian-owned, tax exempt land areas where Indian tribal life was largely broken up and Indians were mixed with the general population. Funds were primarily earmarked for education but could be used for other purposes such as education, medical attention, agricultural assistance, and social welfare. In 1958, when P.L. 81-874 was amended to include assistance for educating Indian children, the JOM program became a supplemental aid program. Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Indian Education Programs(BIA-OIEP) The BIA-OIEP Branch of Elementary and Secondary Education administers the JOM program through contracts with tribes, tribal organizations, school districts, and state education agencies (SEAs). Indian students from age 3 through twelfth grade, except those enrolled in BIA or sectarian schools, are eligible for benefits under the JOM contract if they are 1/4 or more Indian blood. In FY 94, the BIA funded 324 JOM contracts in 32 states, including Alaska, and serving 259,037 students nationwide. In FY 94, the Navajo Nation JOM program provided supplemental funding to meet the unique and special education needs of 51,108 eligible Indian students in preschool and grades K-12 in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. This was pursuant to P.L. 93-638 Prime Contract which the Navajo Nation subcontracts with 26 public school districts, five Indian corporations, and one tribal organization (Head Start).

Extractions: The Condition of Education 1995 - August 1995 Changing conditions that schools must confront are putting additional strains on revenues, even though revenues have increased. First, schools are facing a period of rising enrollments after a long period of decline ( Indicator 35 ). It is important to monitor these increases because they will affect school budgets as well as policies of teacher recruitment and retention. Second, many more disabled students, particularly those with learning disabilities, are receiving special services ( Indicator 42 ). This has major financial implications for school districts. There is some evidence that the average cost of serving a special education student is as much as 2.3 times the cost of serving regular students (ranging from 1.9 times for students in resource programs to 10.6 times for students in residential programs). Third, many more students speak a language other than English at home and have difficulty speaking English, a likely indication that even more students may have difficulty reading and writing English. By law, school systems nationwide must provide services for children from non-English-language backgrounds. Because these students are disproportionately concentrated in a few states (California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and New York), the education systems in these states are under particular strain to respond to the special needs of these children.
