WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The National Council on Disability (NCD) celebrates 35 years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a law designed to ensure a free and appropriate public education for every child with a disability. Prior to the law's enactment, millions of students with disabilities were excluded from the public school system and were denied access to a public education. In 1975, Congress enacted and President Gerald Ford signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, one of the most important civil rights laws ever written. The central premise of this federal law, now known as IDEA, is that all children with disabilities have a federally protected civil right to a free appropriate public education that meets their educati...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: Thirty years ago today, a solemn pact was made between the federal government and the American people: never again should children with disabilities be denied the educational services they need and deserve. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandated a free and appropriate public education for all children with disabilities in the least restrictive environment, and remains one of the most significant milestones in the rights of Americans with disabilities.

Thirty years ago I graduated from a state-operated segregated boarding school for kids with disabilities. This was a dismal place with a bare-bones curriculum. Mainstream public schools were not required to accept kids like me who used wheelchairs or had any other disabilities, so my mother had little choice but to send me there. The next year the landmark federal law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was passed. It declared the right to a free and appropriate public education for all students with disabilities. Leading up to the act, Congress noted that more than 1 million children with disabilities were receiving no education at all.

House Bill 115, or the Carson Smith Special Education Scholarship Bill, on the surface sounds like a good idea; however, there are some real problems with the legislation. The major challenge in this legislation is the requirements of the federal law as it relates to the State School Board and the inclusion of the State School Board into the governance of a private school provider.
