Committee Chair asked to have the discussion of their private schools and the ESU support. Each ESU services their private schools differently. Can we get legal advice on guidance on what the actual rule is for supporting private schools. Discussions on what statute says. It states the we may provide services. We have to have a contract, not regulated on how we cahrge for it. ESUCC has different rules that we need to follow. Federally ESUs have to provide Special Education for private schools.

Speaker(s):
Committee Chair
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
Dr Lofquist, Dr Polk, Paul Calveert and Dr Schnoes went to Washington DC for the Call to Action meeting. This group recieved tickets to attend the Standing Bear. Each state send two statutues to the DC and they changed out William Jennings Bryan with the Standing Bear statute. They shared some other stories of their events and meetings while in Washington DC. They attended the Nebraska breakfast while there. Adrian Smith worked for ESU 17. They talked about ESUs. The Universal Service Funds is being changed to ERATE and Rural Health Services this will pit those two groups against each other. They discussed the MTSS Conference in hopes that Senator Sasse will be a speaker for the conference. IDEA, full funding, etc. All education is all in one pot of money so if they add to Special Education resources they will take away from other places. They had a brief summary for four congressman - there are 92 senators. Bring them together to collaborate, instead it was the opposite, no collaboration and did very little to orientate new members. 5000 a week. Bernie Sanders has not cast a vote in three months. Imprtnat to have someone that has been there before but important for others to experience this meeting.
