Show "R -wvr l I 4 Thursday, April!!, THE GREEN SHEET 1985 School District's Approach On Handicapped Questioned GRANITE PARK. Basically, our position is: If its not broken, then why fix it?, Debbie Hales told the Granite Board of Education here last week. Mrs. Hales and other concerned parents addressed the board April 2 concerning possible changes in the districts approach to the education of handicapped students next year. Along with Mrs. Hales, four other parents - Janet Jackson, Kathlene Mortensen, Nan Maxwell and Cathy Smith - also addressed the board during citizen participation time. Our children have unique needs, Cathy Smith said. Some of them dont fit in any other classroom than the present program housed at Lincoln elementary. Lincoln, 501 E. 3900 South, has housed the districts motor handicapped program and parents objected to plans by the district for these children to become part of the regular school system for the first time" in the 1985-8- 6 school year, as John E. Allen, principal at the n Hilda B. Jones Center and school, explained it. Allens statement was an attempt to explain some of the anticipated changes in the districts special Hart-vigse- would be education programs which will put children in the regular flow of the school system. Designed to approximate as closely as possible the neighborhood school concept with which the district attempts to use in serving all children, Allen explained one district proposal to move to a system of cluster schools to provide services for the handicapped, beginning next fall. The general concept in the district is to establish classrooms closer to where the children are, Superintendent John Reed Call told the parent group. The administration has not as yet reached any decision on the matter and there have been no recommendations to me, Dr. Call explained. Two public meetings have been held to explain the cluster concept to parents. One meeting was held March 21 at Granger high, while a second meeting was held March 28 at Cottonwood high. For elementary school children, one tentative plan proposed for handicapped facilities would divide the district into seven zones five on the west side of the district and two on the east. Junior high students, too, clustered - in three areas next year two on the west side and one on the east. While the district has more available classrooms on the east side, handicapped children live in all areas, but under the present system, some children are riding buses for two hours or more per day to travel from far western areas of the district to classrooms on the east side. This is not a transportation issue, but an educational issue, placement coordinator Mary Fogg exWe need to have some plained. flexibility in providing opportunities without getting caught in a trap of not meeting their needs. Fogg explained that the district is attempting to develop programs that have all those components (necessary for each student) and have them available under one - C-- r C-- 3 provide parking.
