Nebraskas public power study stalled by funds snags

Nebraska Education Dept officials say new federal rules on handicapped education may not force closures of the visually handicapped school in Nebraska City or the Omaha deaf school. Jerry Regler says funding and the schools’ futures depend on how strictly federal law is read, amid PL 94-142 reforms pushing inclusion while not banning separate institutions where needed.
