Our childrens education programs are also being affected. An example is the cut in Title I funds. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (Public Law 89th HR auis some felt 2362) by Congress, thorities to be the most far reaching and 89-1- 0, significant education legislation ever written. The Act was designed to contribute toward fleeting one or more of the special educational needs of educationally deprived children in the nation's elementary and secondary schools. designed by the American Indian Movement of Utah As The Act states, Educationally deprived children means tho n children who have need for special educu.onal assistance in order that their level of educational attainment may be raised to the appropriate for children of their age. The term includes children who are handicapped or whose needs for such special educational assistance result from poverty, neglect, delinquency, or cultural or linguistic isolation from the community at large. This means when the Title I budget receives a cut next year, our children will again be deprived educationally. We need your support in writing to your congressman and telling them how much Title I has done in meeting special educational needs of our children. and Ouray Agency UTE DESIGNS - On beadwork is explained to students at Kemper Hall by Clifford Duncan, manager of Bottle Hollow Resort Arts and Crafts Shop.
