Its provisions include schools receiving Title I funds must evaluate students annually to demonstrate school’s progress to improving academics.

...TABLE OF CONTENTS. ACKNOWLEDGMENT INTRODUCTION TO SCHOOL RESOURCES CENTRE. The term School Resource Centre (SRC) emerged in Malaysian education since 1st May 1983 when the Ministry of Education directed all schools to use this term instead of school library. The directive was issued to signify the variety of SRC’s collection which not only limited to printed materials but also other formats including audio visual collection. Doucette et. al (1999), defined SRC programmes as consisting of planned learning activities which support the school curriculum and contribute to the development of life-long learners. In addition, Loertscher (2000) suggested that an ideal SRC programme is built on the foundation of an information infrastructure that includes materials, equipment and facilities, and direct services to students and teachers. He further identified four areas of SRC programme that needed to be given attention namely collaboration, reading, enhancing learning through technology, and information literacy. The Government of Malaysia has put a lot of emphasis on the development of human capital in the Ninth Malaysia Plan. The Malaysian Ministry of Education, in turn, has taken further steps including the creation of smart schools, empowering the national schools and the setting up of school clusters. As such, schools are seen as the institution responsible for realising the nation’s aspiration of building a new generation with creative, innovative...

...facilities as of the 2007 Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement, conducted by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. There were only 70,792 juveniles in juvenile detention in 2010. The key difference between adult and juvenile incarceration is the focus on rehabilitation for underage offenders, as opposed to punishment for adult convicts. Facilities for juveniles are run very differently, and people in such jails and prisons have access to different kinds of services and support. Minors are not imprisoned with adults until after they reach the age of majority, and this isolation supports the mission of preventing future crimes and giving juveniles a second chance at successful social integration. People believe juvenile offenders need discipline and support to prevent a return to crime when they get out. Juvenile incarceration facilities share some qualities in common with adult prisons, but inmates have access to education, incentive programs, and more social services and support. Drug treatment in such facilities, for example, tends to be more readily available. Inmates in a juvenile incarceration facility usually have a very tight schedule, set to impose discipline. Like adult inmates, they work around the facility on tasks like cleaning and maintenance and may also perform other tasks. Many nations require that juveniles receive an education behind bars, and people may have a set number of hours of class each day. They can pursue equivalency tests...

...Likewise, in Sacramento Unified School District v. Holland, Rachel was profoundly mentally disabled and the school district did not believe she would benefit from placement in a regular class for a full day. Additionally, the cost of the extra assistance Rachel would need by such a placement would incur an exorbitant expense on the school district. In the mean time, Rachel’s parents enrolled her in a full day Kindergarten class at a private school, where she was able to progress in learning and imitating her classmates. The Court ruled that the school district did not meet the IDEA regulation of an adequate endeavor for placement in a least restrict environment (LRE). Further, the court found the school district exaggerated the cost of...

... Case Study: Student with Special Needs Precious D. Jacobs Grand Canyon University EDA 555 Legal Issues in Education October 10, 2012 “Live life to the fullest as you do not know what tomorrow will bring.” This cliché is one that is used as a way to encourage someone to achieve and do all that he or she may want to do today as they may not have the same capabilities or abilities to do them at a later date. Last year my current school enrolled a student name Zac that many did not know at the time was diagnosed and living with Multiple Sclerosis. Although he walked on the tips of his toes, it was not alarming to any faculty or staff member that taught or held a vested interest in him. However, as the school year drew to a close, Zac began to miss several consecutive days from school and eventually was being transported to and from his classes in a wheelchair. When school year commenced, Zac continued to require the use of the wheelchair as a means to be mobile. As school began for the current school term, Zac returned in the wheelchair. Over the summer months, Zac’s Multiple Sclerosis (MS) had worsened which has left him totally dependent on the wheelchair for mobility. Although in the previous year Zac had several teachers, paraprofessionals, the nurse as well as other staff members assisting him with learning maneuver the chair, due to budget cuts, several positions were cut. At which point, a plan had to be devised determining those that would...
