State to place fulltime rep in Chester Upland schools
The Pennsylvania Department of Education will station a full-time representative in the Chester Upland School District to overhaul its special education program. The interim remedial stipulation, signed by the district, a parents group and federal Judge Robert Gawthrop, runs at least through June 1992 and requires added social workers, re evaluations, and input from parents before any permanent hires in special education.

Bell warns funds risk as crime victims board faces shortfall
Sen. Clarence D. Bell of Upland urged the Crime Victims Compensation Board to act quickly to avoid running out of operating cash in early spring after a critical legislative report. The board, cut 36 percent by Gov. Casey, has sought supplemental funds while Philadelphia struggles with unpaid assessments and space constraints hinder case processing. The program, funded by assessments and federal funds, has paid $20.3 million since 1976, with a maximum award of 35,000 per victim.
