SECRETARY OF EDUCATION BETSY
DEVOS SPARKED NATIONWIDE CONCERN
THIS WEEK AFTER
HER SUGGESTION TO ELIMINATE
FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SPECIAL
OLYMPICS.
THE BUDGET WOULD HAVE INCLUDED A
NEARLY 18-MILLION-DOLLAR CUT
FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S
UNIFIED CHAMPION SCHOOLS PROGRAM
WHICH PROMOTES SOCIAL INCLUSION
FOR STUDENTS
TOWARDS SPECIAL EDUCATION WOULD
ONLY HINDER HOW FAR WE'VE COME
AS A SOCIETY.
Mike Powers/President, Arc of
the Ozarks: "We've come so far
through the last twenty years,
on our education system and
having services included.
Individuals with disabilities
being able to go to school along
side their peers, learning from
them."
LAUREN
ACCORDING TO THE 2017 CENSUS,
THERE ARE MORE THAN 15-THOUSAND
SPECIAL OLYMPICS

A LOCAL SPOTLIGHT
LAUREN
A SPECIAL EDUCATION LEADER IN
HOLLISTER IS QUICKLY GAINING
NATIONAL ATTENTION FROM A BOOK
SHE WROTE ABOUT A HEARTBREAKING
EXPERIENCE.
THE BOOK, "WHAT I WASN'T
EXPECTING, WHEN I WAS EXPECTING:
A GRIEVING WIDOW'S MEMOIR
" HAS SOLD CLOSE TO ONE-THOUSAND
COPIES ACROSS 34 STATES AND 5
COUNTRIES - IN A LITTLE
MORE THAN 3 WEEKS ON AMAZON.
IT'S THE STORY OF WHAT KRISTINA
SMITH EXPERIENCED WHEN HER
HUSBAND JOE WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH COLORECTAL CANCER
WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH THEIR
FIRST CHILD.
SMITH, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF
SPECIAL EDUCATION AT HOLLISTER
SCHOOLS, SAYS HER MAIN
PREMISE FOR WRITING THE BOOK WAS
TO HEAL.
"I needed to process everything
that had happened. I needed to
cognitively dig deep and realize
how the whole picture was
connected -- and I just needed
to put our love story on paper
too."
"Writing has always been my
outlet... first and foremost.
I've
got a journal going at all times
when Joe got sick. One of my
friends handed me a journal and
said..there's going to be a lot
happen -- and you may not be
able to say it out loud."

TENNESSEE AND ATLANTA-- THE

THE BUS IS AN INTERACTIVE,
MULTIMEDIA MOBILE CLASSROOM THAT
TRAVELS THE COUNTRY TO ENGAGE
HANNAH
THE BUS IS AN INTERACTIVE,
MULTIMEDIA MOBILE CLASSROOM THAT
TRAVELS THE COUNTRY TO ENGAGE
THE COMMUNITY WHILE SHOWCASING
C-SPAN'S PUBLIC AFFAIRS
PROGRAMMING AND
RESOURCES. AND THIS WEEK IT
VISITED THE DISCOVERY CENTER.
HANNAH ZETTL REPORTING
"You learn a lot of stuff."
THE C-SPAN INTERACTIVE MEDIA BUS
ROLLED
THROUGH SPRINGFIELD TEACHING
STUDENTS ALL ABOUT IT'S PUBLIC
AFFAIRS PROGRAMMING.
"We're really excited to kind of
show what C-SPAN is, what we
do."
AND WHAT EXACTLY DOES C-SPAN DO?
"Uh it's kind of like a news...
Yeah it's kind of like a news
channel right?"
"You guys like making up your
own mind? Sometimes. Yeah
sometimes, right."
THE NONPROFIT NEWS NETWORK
EDUCATED
STUDENTS ON IT'S MISSION TO
PROVIDE UNBIASED, FACTUAL
REPORTING TO THE PUBLIC.
"If the government was funding
us, then they would have what
over us? Control."
THE BUS IS JAM-PACKED WITH FUN
TECHNOLOGY
LIKE TABLETS, TESTS AND QUIZZES
"Oh no I got 3 out of 10." AND
OTHER INTERACTIVE TOOLS.
"This right here you can touch
and swipe on the screen, it's a
360 video."
THAT'S C-SPAN REP JOEL BACON,
WHOSE FAVORITE
PART OF WORK IS TALKING TO
STUDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
"The best part about coming on
the bus is seeing the students
eyes get real big as they see
the tablets and the 360 videos,
taking the selfies."
AS FOR THE STUDENTS, "they don't
have commentary
and they let you decide what you
want."
THEY ENJOYED THE TOUR TOO--
STEPPING OFF THE
BUS WITH KNOWLEDGE TO BECOME
PUBLIC FIGURES THEMSELVES, IF
THEY'RE UP FOR THE JOB.
"I just don't think I'd want to
do it just 'cause you have the
whole
country on on your hands really
so maybe a lawyer, but."
HANNAH
AFTER YESTERDAY'S TOURS, THE
C-SPAN BUS MADE ITS WAY TO
GLENDALE HIGH SCHOOL TO
CELEBRATE TWO STUDENTS--
MICHELLE LEWIS AND SARA SNELSON,
WHO SCORED AN
HONORABLE MENTION FOR THE NEWS
OUTLET'S STUDENT CAM DOCUMENTARY
CONTEST.
