On the recordSeptember 4, 1997
I would just say that in a number of these programs, one of the interesting by-products we are having is that the number of children that are later eligible for special education is substantially reduced because, by concentrating on basic skills at the earliest level, the grade level, we find it was really a reading problem that these children had that later caused them to be classified as eligible for special education. Those children are being maintained in the regular classrooms.
