IMMEDIATE RESPONSE NEEDED - proposed IDEA changes

[Guest guest]

IDEA and what we can do....

Hello Friends:

In the aftermath of having attended the conference on People With

Diasabilities this past Saturday, it is imperative that I ask a favor

of

you all (and anyone in your circle of friends; families; organizations

etc.).

One of the " take aways " from the meeting is that the re-authorization

bill in Congress is dangerously close to being passed.

The House Version H.R. 1350 is a dangerous, onerous and cynical bill

that will do a great many negative things to all in our " community " .

A desire for brevity prevents me from going into long detail, but here

are some bullet points to consider:

H.R. 1350 will:

* Remove a parents guarantee to an I.E.P. meeting on behalf of

their child each year. This bill will have an " option " of having an

I.E.P. every 3 years. Any sane, thinking person can understand that

the

proposed reason for this " option " , less paperwork for the School

Districts " is nothing more than a canard and a subtle chipping away at

one of the cornerstone civil rights contained in the original IDEA

Bill

of 1975.

* Removal of the option of having an advocate accompany families

to an IEP or Due Process meeting.

* 15% of funding that was " guaranteed " to disabled students

under

the 1975 bill will now go into " pre-referral " services (e.g. the

school

band; football team; cheerleader uniforms) and the like.

* Any due process hearing will now take far longer to be held.

We

don't have any more time.

* FEDERAL MONITORING WILL NO LONGER BE REQUIRED. The states

will

be left to decide how well they are doing for your child.

What can you do?

I am enclosing a list of Senators and Congresspeople in this area and

how they voted on the " bad " bill H.R. 1350. Also, how you can impact

this process. I URGE YOU ALL TO CALL, FAX, WRITE YOUR SENATORS. Both

Sen. Corzine and Sen. Lautenberg are supporters of our position.

However, please tell them " not to allow changes to the Senate Policy

Committee's Version of S 1248, but to leave that version of the bill

as

is with little or no change as it moves to the Senate floor. Beyond

what is below, the link is: <http://www.senate.gov>

http://www.senate.gov

From their choose Senators, then choose each Senator, go to their site

and e-mail them urging them not to allow these regressive changes to S

1248.

Quick Side Bar: Having to sit at the rally on Saturday and listen to

Congressman Mike Ferguson (R-NJ 7th District) speak about the war in

Iraq, how he " supports " children and families with disabilities( and

other completely non-pertinent issues) while glancing at my own copy

of

the voting list and seeing that he voted " YES " to H.R. 1350 nearly

made

me sick to my stomach. But, then again, these are politicians.

Those NJ Representatives who Voted " YES " to H.R. 1350:

* Rob s (D-1st District)

* LoBiondo (R-2nd District)

* Saxton (R-3rd District)

* (R-4th District)

* Garrett(R-5th District) ...who at least had the decency

to

send an aide to " listen " to the comments of the rallyers.

* Mike Ferguson (R-7th District)

* Bill Pascrell (D-8th District)

* Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-11th District)

Those who voted against H.R. 1350 and are advocates for our children

and

their needs:

* Pallone (D-6th District) -(sent an eloquent and informed

letter)

* Rothman (D-9th District)-(brother with Autism)

* Payne (D-10th District)-sent very elegant and

inspirational letter

* Rush Holt (D-12th District)

* Menendez (D-13th District)

(And don't be afraid to ask the Republican Reps. And Senators why they

have such an aversion to helping maintain the civil rights of people

with disabilities. Would they, for instance, support a bill that

somehow curtailed the hard-won civil rights of African-Americans or

women?)?

Beyond those listed on the Committee below, Key Senators to

call/e-mail/fax today or tomorrow, if possible:

1. Daschle

2. Frist

3. Enzi

4.

5. Bond

6. DeWine

7.

8. Sessions

9. Ensign

10. Graham (SC)

11. Warner

12.

13. Snowe

14.

15.

For those of you who choose to help, Thank You. The politicians are

counting on silence and disinterest.

Please disappoint them.

Regards,

Steve McKenna

March 17 2003

Serious work is progressing on reauthorizing the Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act. The purposes of this short article are

to:

* explain the role that Congressional committees play in the

legislative process; and

* list the members of the two committees in Congress that are

working on IDEA reauthorization.

I. Committees and the Legislative Process

What do committees do?

One of the most important phases in the legislative process is the

action by committees in the Congress. At present, there are 16

standing

committees in the Senate and 19 in the House. Standing committees

report

on bills or on matters within a certain subject area (for example,

special education). The work of the committees, in part, is to broadly

study and review issues relating to their defined subject area.

The committees do most of the work on proposed legislation. It is the

committees that hold hearings where members of the public are given a

chance to voice their opinions. Like any workgroup, there are also

subcommittees within the full standing committee. These subcommittees

often do much of the background work and vote on the bill before

passing

it on for consideration by the full committee.

The Committee that oversees the Individuals with Disabilities

Education

Act (IDEA) in the Senate is called the Senate Health, Education,

Labor,

and Pensions (HELP) Committee. In the House of Representatives it is

called the Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Who decides " who " serves on " what " committee?

Membership on the various committees is divided between the two main

political parties-the Republicans and the Democrats. A Senator or

Representative usually tries to get elected to a committee that has

control over an area in which he or she is most qualified and

interested.

At the present time, the Republicans hold the most seats in Congress,

so

they are considered the " majority party. " As the majority party, they

decide how many members on a committee will be drawn from

the " minority

party. " Right now, the Democrats are the " minority party. " Thus, at

the

present moment, the Republicans have the power to decide how many

Democrat members will serve on each committee.

II. The Committees Working on IDEA Reauthorization

As was mentioned above, there are two committees in Congress assigned

to

work on IDEA's reauthorization. These are:

* In the House of <http://www.nichcy.org/reauth/committee.htm>

Representatives: the Committee on Education and the Workforce

* In the Senate <http://www.nichcy.org/reauth/committee.htm> :

the

Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.

Both committees are working hard to gather information about IDEA from

the wide variety of stakeholders and from the general public and to

bring this information together into a draft piece of legislation.

In this section, we are pleased to provide the names and contact

information for each of the committee members. We make this

information

available for readers who are interested in IDEA's reauthorization or

who wish to become part of the public process of reauthorizing our

laws.

Readers can use this information to learn more about the legislative

process, keep track of what's happening with reauthorization,

communicate their perspectives on IDEA directly to committee members,

or

simply visit the Congress' Web site on IDEA and other subjects. You

may

also reach any member's office through the Capitol switchboard. That

number is 202.224.3121.
