Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 , We're in CA and facing lots of budget cuts, as well. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head, with no experience or direct knowledge, is that IDEA says they have to find the funds to provide each individual child with an appropriate education in the least restrictive environment (in a nutshell). Reaching for stars.... Kristy School Board Meeting Hello listmates, Just looking for some ideas/insights. Our school board is holding a meeting and vote tonight pretaining to budget cuts for next school year (I just found out about it yesterday- it's been kept low key). On the chopping block are the positions of 86 special education teachers, 107 paraprofessionals (special ed aides), and 173 locally funded teachers. Of course the location for the school board meeting is at an elementary school on the furtherest/out-of-the-way-side of the county. I'm talking within a mile or so of the state line! I thought the meetings were tradionally held at the school board office/auditorium... but that's another issue... I'm thinking they don't want to make it easy for parents to attend. Anyway... I tried searching through my copy of " From Emotions to Advocacy " (s Law team) and didn't see anything about school board meetings or district v. state v. federaly funded things. I'm concerned that more than half of the cuts are in special education. Doesn't the district get a lot of state/federal money to use FOR Special Education and if so... are they going to redirect those funds to their own projects...? Anyone out there have information or know of a resource to learn about such budget concerns and/or funding for special education?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Grrrrrrrrr. I also heard they have recently made changes that make it more difficult to qualify for special ed (here in AL) as well. Grrrrr again. --- " C. - Wonderwegian " <carriecox@...> wrote: > Hello listmates, > > Just looking for some ideas/insights. > > Our school board is holding a meeting and vote > tonight pretaining to budget cuts for next school > year (I just found out about it yesterday- it's been > kept low key).
