内布拉斯加州兰开斯特县林肯市州议会10月29日听证聋人学生服务缺口：家长称孩子跨州上学、州内手语翻译不足
内布拉斯加州兰开斯特县林肯市的州议会大厦10月28日星期三举行听证，州参议员丹妮尔·康拉德听取聋人与听障社区的证词，讨论内布拉斯加州学生至今仍未获得所需服务的问题。听证属于中期研究，目的是摸清全州学校现状并确立最佳做法。家长亚当·威布利绍泽作证说，他在埃尔克霍恩学区的四年级孩子目前在爱荷华州聋人学校上学。伊丽莎白·埃农-科克达表示，内布拉斯加州没有足够的教育手语翻译来满足全州学校的需求。另一位作证者说，内布拉斯加聋人学校于1998年关闭后，州政府以地区项目取代，但这些服务仍不足够。
Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska: Legislative Hearing on Gaps in Services for Deaf Students — Parent Says Child Attends School Across State Line, Interpreter Shortage Cited
At the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln, Lancaster County, State Sen. Danielle Conrad heard testimony on Wednesday, October 28, from members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community about Nebraska students who are still not receiving services they need. The hearing was part of an interim study intended to identify what is happening in Nebraska schools and establish best practices. Parent Adam Wiblishouser testified that his fourth grader, in the Elkhorn school district, currently attends the Iowa School for the Deaf. Elizabeth Eynon-Kokrda said Nebraska does not have enough educational sign language interpreters to meet the needs of schools statewide. Another witness said that after the Nebraska School for the Deaf closed in 1998, the state replaced it with regional programs, but those services are still not enough.
