Extractions: By Peggy A. Burns, Esq. Special needs transportation, governmental immunity and bus stop selection were among the legal issues which focused directly on school transportation in the past year. The cases reviewed here are mainly state court cases and hearing officer decisions. While that means they have no binding impact on the courts of other states, nevertheless, they can be extremely instructive as to how a court might consider a particular issue. In this issue we'll review 10 cases that made it to state courts. Next month's STN will have Part II of the annual Year in Review. Special Needs Transportation Here is a sampling of the special needs cases decided in 2000. The Office for Civil Rights considered a parent's complaint that students in a district's Moderate Intervention Programs (MIPS) were required to ride a school bus with students with severe behavioral and emotional problems. The complaint alleged that the MIPS students were denied FAPE because of the physical and verbal abuse to which they were subjected. OCR found for the parents because the district "failed to implement strategies to ensure the safety of MIPS students."

Click on Judicial Branch and then Indiana Court of Appeals. 2.) ******** OHIO REVAMPS STATE TESTS: ALIGNS WITH STANDARDS (Goal Three: Student Achievement and Citizenship) A new Ohio state law overhauls the state's proficiency tests by aligning them with academic standards (Rubin, EDUCATION DAILY, 6/15). The law also limits the tests' use in determining whether students will be promoted to the next grade or earn a high school diploma. The new law is based on recommendations developed by Governor Bob Taft's Commission for Student Success. Last year, the Commission reported that the Ohio tests were "rushed into place before the academic standards they were meant to measure had taken hold," reports the paper.
