It is important that the Legislature authorize more units for special education programs so that those who need these programs can have them and those districts that already have the special education units can continue to use them. 3. Many of our rural schools are able to offer good educational programs because special school units are awaraea to tnem by the State Board of Education. If these special school units are cut by the Legislature, many school districts win suffer financially, and their fine educational programs will suffer. It is up to the rural boards to see that these special school units are maintained. 4. The Teacher Leadership Program has enabled the local boards to reward financially and give leadership and status to those teachers who render excellent service to children. It gives the rural board a way to allow a real fine teacher to remain in the small rural schools. We should lobby to expand this Teacher Leadership Program.
