Schools are more than just places for students to receive an education - they are the backbone of a community. But this is changing. Public schools are losing market share, and with it many communities will be losing all the many important elements a public school provides.

David Bateman and Hiromi Gotos collaborative poem, Wait Until Late Afternoon, is a nostalgic/anti-nostalgic creative autobiographical conversation. Tracing their relationship to their fathers, their lives, and to each other through the transfiguring effects of alcohol, the narrative travels from glamorous nightclubs and the Jade Market in Taipei to Peterborough, Ontario and Nanton, Alberta. Through memory, mourning, geographies and sexualities, this poetic narrative is at once a memento mori and meditations upon wabi sabi.

Invisible Foreground traces a journey from childhood into an adult world that is filled with tenderness, terror, and the wish for secure familial surroundings. Always on the verge of disappearing into a fractured memory the speaker is both sure and unsure of, these poems embroider lived reality with dreams of the imagination. Suburban houses, provincial terrain, furniture, feelings, physical desire (among other things) asll serve, in the mind of the poet, as emotional set designs for a half century of life as performance.

The transition to adulthood after high school is a critical juncture for students with disabilities. Educators need to help parents and students start preparing for this transition long before high school, when a formal transition plan is legally required. Effective transition planning is a long-term, ongoing process that can greatly influence the lifelong outcomes of students with disabilities. This 6-page, quick-reference laminated guide is written to address the needs of students with moderate to severe disabilities who are more likely to move into specialized vocational training or immediately enter the workforce after high school than transition to college. It reviews the school district's legal responsibilities under IDEA and Section 504, and identifies other federal laws with implications for students and adults with disabilities. It is designed to help all stakeholders, including the student, parents, and school district, set appropriately ambitious individual goals for life after high school and develop a plan to achieve these goals.
