Lomitas Elementary School Claims 10.6% of
Students Qualify for Special Education!

WReview the status of ALL students who were referred to SST (Student Study Team) meetings at any district site during the 1995-96 school year." And yet, when they "applied" for the National Blue Ribbon Award from the same U.S. Department of Education, Lomitas Elementary School now claims that there were 85 (eighty-five!) students were RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES! (As of Sept. 25, 1998.) While also stating that "the number of referrals to special education testing and services has DECREASED (emphasis added)" (refer to item number 12 below)! Obviously, something is VERY wrong with this picture!

Please note the following information is a photocopy of Lomitas Elementary School's actual National Blue Ribbon Award Application is available, from the United States Department of Education, through the Freedom of Information Act.
