This document contains the proceedings of a hearing held on August 13, 1999, before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth, and Families. The hearing addressed school safety, discipline, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Following opening remarks of the congressmen, the report includes the testimony of: (1) Julian Cope, Superintendent of Jasper County Public School System in Monticello, Georgia, who argues that IDEA creates a double standard for students with disabilities who commit offenses and severely limits the range of punishment that the building administrator can enact; (2) Sandra Griffin, Director of Special Services, Burke County Public Schools, Waynesboro, Georgia, who stresses the need to hold all students accountable; (3) Patricia E. Henchy, Principal of Burke County High School, Waynesboro, Georgia, who discusses the need for school safety; (4) Roberta Hatcher, Director of Special Education, Richmond County Board of Education, Augusta, Georgia, who discusses student support strategies; (5) Mary L. Oglesby, Chairman of the Richmond County Board of Education, Augusta, Georgia; and (6) Lamar Samples, Director of Risk Management/School Social Worker, Emanuel County Public School System, Swainsboro, Georgia.
