The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is scheduled for Senate debate this summer after being passed by the House of Representatives late last month.
If the bill becomes law, it would change how students are evaluated and disciplined. It also would cap the number of students a state can declare as having special needs -- and therefore eligible for federal funding -- at 12 percent.

Local story from Macon, Georgia promotes the success stories of programs such as Georigia's Babies Can't Wait and Butler Early Childhood Center and of a school of thought that catching developmental problems early yields better results. Many children enter kindergarten before a problem is detected or diagnosed, and they start school already behind.
