The American Federation of Teachers kept up the pressure this summer to make sure the latest version of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)gives teachers access to valuable student individual education plans, clearly addresses student discipline, and deals with concerns about new "highly qualified teacher" requirements for special education teachers. The US Education Department is preparing to finalize IDEA regulations later this year.

The law requires that public schools provide students with disabilities access to information technology "that is equivalent to the access provided individuals who are not disabled" (Noble). Because state legislation varies, school library professionals should check with local special education staff and/or district legal counsel to determine which laws apply to their respective library media programs.

trend: Parents of autistic children may be moving to certain communities because the public school district has a good reputation for educating autistic children. Amity Superintendent of Schools John Brady said he is frustrated and shocked. His dilemma began last year when the district -- which serves Bethany, Orange and Woodbridge -- received a letter from the state Department of Education. The state told Amity it has too many white students who are diagnosed as autistic when compared to other racial subgroups. Amity last year had 38 white autistic students, one Asian and one black.
Amity and Vernon are the only two school systems in the state and among only a handful nationwide to have a "significant disproportionate" amount of white autistic students, state officials said.
