**LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT** Tell Secretary Spellings to Protect Due Process Hearings

The U.S. Department of Education has released proposed regulations for Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education ACT (IDEA).  The most important change in these regulations is to limit the use of lay advocates in due process hearings, if this regulation goes through, parents will have limited options for representation of their child’s case.  Use our pre-formatted letter and tell Secretary Spelling to withdraw the proposed changes TODAY!    SchoolWatch, School safety Alert January 26, 2009 Beware of the EastChester School district of New York. by George Deabold IS THE EASTCHESTER SCHOOL DISTRICT USING AVERSIVE INTERVENTIONS ON STUDENTS.  The School Watch Task force received several reports on the EastChester school district of New York.  The first report was filed on may 10, 2008 .The report was from a parent whose child attends high School in  the Eastchester school district .The parent reported about inappropriate behavioral techniques and other acts of abuse.

"A Community Organization Dedicated To Better Schools"

A Message from the Founder of SchoolWatch

I know there are a lot of good things about many school districts; we have some excellent teachers and coaches, etc. But, there are also a lot of things that need improvement, i.e., ineffective personnel; (administrators, Special Education Directors, school principals, school psychologists, district physicians, consulting legal council), just to name a few. In my opinion they have not been responsibly servicing our children, and they have not been held accountable. I have known many families whose concerns were not appropriately addressed in many school related issues.

*********************** IT’S TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR SCHOOLS!

This cannot be achieved by calling meetings by invitation only! This is a major undertaking and can only be achieved working collectively with the entire community’s involvement, in a totally open forum. And that in essence is what SchoolWatch is about – Making your school districts better than ever.

George Deabold Founder, Chairman of Schoolatch
