Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: Assistance on SB 123 Wed. July 11
Listmates- News of return of Oakland to the people of Oakland is tremendous news... Now on returning graduation rights back to students who earned it from the teachers who taught them and the parents who raised them... I will be at State Bd of Ed meeting in a.m. to oppose exit exam at every opportunity and at Assembly Education in afternoon to testify for Senator Romero's bill SB 123. Could use support on SB 123---for alternative to CAHSEE for sp ed students [juried assessment] beginning with Class of 2008, after current SB 267 to exempt seniors "sunsets" on Dec. 31 2007---exempting IEP and 504 plan seniors from CAHSEE requirement if they meet or exceed all other traditional graduation requirements [incl 13 year-long courses and 220-270 grad credits]. Without SB 123 over half of all seniors with disabilities will not graduate from a California public high school if 2006 and 2007 results [over 43,000 seniors with disabilities each year with over 30,000 still trying to pass senior year and only 20,000 passing]. This is absurd---only 7% of all sp ed students in CA typically qualify for the CAPA for severely impaired [non-diploma track]. Room 126 at 1:30 p.m. In State Capitol Wed. July 11 for SB 123 for anyone who can make it. Or, a quick fax in strong support of SB 123 to Assembly Ed members: Assembly Ed Committee: Chair Gene Mullin fax 916-319-2119 Vice-Chair Martin Garrick fax 916-319-2174 Julia Brownley fax 916-319-2141 Joe Coto fax 916-319-2123 Mike Eng fax 916-319-2149 Loni Hancock fax 916-319-2114 Robert Huff fax 916-319-2160 Betty Karnette fax 916-319-2154 Allen Nakanishi fax 916-319-2110 Jose Solorio fax 916-319-2169 ~~~~~~~~~~ Jo Behm 1st V-Pres & Public Policy Chair Learning Disabilities Assoc of CA Former State President ------------------------ Jo Rupert Behm, M.S., RN State and Federal Health and Education Public Policy Consultant Council Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) Government Affairs LDA National Healthy Children's Project Advisory Committee Collaborative on Health and the Environment-LDDI Workgroup Phone: 415-897-2426 FAX: 415-897-8115 email: jobehm@behmer.us "Convincing Grown-ups to Enact Responsible Policy and Legislation When Deciding the Future of Children" JRB January, '04
