The Title I program for the handicapped, the P.L.
89-313 program, makes grants availi:ble to State agencies
responsible for educating han~icapred children. The specific
purpose for which these funds are to be used has never been
entirely clear. Congress needs to clarify whether the program
should finance only those activities which are supplemental to a
basic, State-financed educational activity, or should help
finance the basic educational program itself. The degree to
which P.L. 89-313 funds may be target% to or from certain
groups of handicapped children is not entirely clear. Congress
should clarify whether targeting is acceptable and, if it is,
the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) should
implement regulations which clearly state those conditions under
which targeting is or is not permissible. If the purpose of the
program is primarily to support activities which supplemnt a
State-defined and funded education program, some changes in
program administration are needed. Congress should consider
legislatively transferring the program to the Education of the
Handicapped Act. HEW leadership is needed to develop methods for
the interchange of knowledge between State schcols and
institutions for handicapped children. (Author/SW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadxvz0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
