PROVIDENCE – A boy with disabilities who attends private school in New York City is still considered a resident of Westerly, where he attended public schools until fifth grade, the Rhode Island education commissioner’s office says in a recent ruling.

But the boy’s parents’ allegation that Westerly Public Schools failed to provide him a free appropriate public education – their reason for moving him to a Brooklyn school – is a matter that still needs to be weighed by the Rhode Island Department of Education, the commissioner’s office says.

This week, Education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist released the decision for the ongoing tuition dispute that dates to 2008.

The boy, who is identified only as Student Doe because he is a juvenile, is a lifelong Westerly resident who began attending public schools here when he was in preschool.

He was enrolled in the district’s special education program, but by the time he reached fifth grade his parents became “increasingly concerned with… his failure to make academic progress” and the “impact his academic difficulties were having on his ability to focus, be organized, and maintain behavioral and emotional control,” the commissioner’s ruling says.

The parents of the boy, 11 years old at the time, searched for an appropriate alternative day school, but they were unable to find any within driving distance that would accept the boy in a program.

The parents turned to New York City, where they own an apartment. There, they found a specialized day school that they deemed appropriate for their son….

…..But the tuition dispute remains unresolved: the parents’ contention that Westerly failed to provide him with a free appropriate public education is a matter to be decided in another hearing before the state education department.

If this keeps up, no one’s going to trust any scientists.

The global-warming establishment took a body blow this week, as the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received a stunning rebuke from a top-notch independent investigation.

For two decades, the IPCC has spearheaded efforts to convince the world’s governments that man-made carbon emissions pose a threat to the global temperature equilibrium — and to civilization itself. IPCC reports, collated from the work of hundreds of climate scientists and bureaucrats, are widely cited as evidence for the urgent need for drastic action to “save the planet.”

But the prestigious InterAcademy Council, an independent association of “the best scientists and engineers worldwide” (as the group’s own Web site puts it) formed in 2000 to give “high-quality advice to international bodies,” has finished a thorough review of IPCC practices — and found them badly wanting.

For example, the IPCC’s much-vaunted Fourth Assessment Report claimed in 2007 that Himalayan glaciers were rapidly melting, and would possibly be gone by the year 2035. The claim was actually false — yet the IPCC cited it as proof of man-made global warming.

PROVIDENCE – The red, white and blue lawn signs are up; the candidates are knocking on doors, and campaign fliers are arriving in mailboxes almost daily as 285 candidates jockey for 113 seats in the Rhode Island legislature.

There are common threads in many of the races: union leaders making good on their promises to oppose lawmakers who voted to cut public employee pensions. Republicans taking broad-brush swipes at the Democrats who control Smith Hill. General Assembly leaders working hard behind-the-scenes to help their friends and defeat their enemies.

On the Senate side, there are 14 primary races. Nine pit challengers against incumbents while the rest –– with one exception in which two Democrats are fighting for the opportunity to take on the Senate’s one independent — are scrambles for the handful of open seats.

On the House side, there are 33 Democratic primary races that will be decided on Sept. 14 and four Republican contests, including one in which a retired East Providence school principal who supports binding-arbitration in contract disputes, and voted against cuts in public employee pension benefits, is being challenged from the right by a former student.

Eight of those House races feature contests for open seats. Incumbents are fighting to keep their seats in others. And political heavyweights from outside local district lines have joined the fight in some of the hottest races.

In Bristol-Warren, for example, incumbent Rep. Douglas Gablinske says state AFL-CIO President George Nee went “union door to union door” seeking votes for his Democratic primary opponent Richard Morrison, a lawyer who promises on his campaign website that he “will never vote to decrease state education funding to our district.”
