Gerald Joseph Semling Oct. 26, 1935 March 27, 1999 Gerald Joseph Semling, known as Jerry and Grandpa Tubby, 63, 578 E. Sanborn St, Winona, died Saturday, March 27, 1999, at Winona Community Memorial Hospital. The federal report comes after a 1997 state report found that Minnesota's eligibility criteria for EBD were confusing and ambiguous to educators, raising the pos-, sibility that too many children were being labeled. Some fear that teachers are pushing the EBD label as a way of getting un- ruly children out of their regular classrooms.

"We have overidentified kids as i-EBD because we don't want to deal with the behavior issues," Robertson said. K. Black children and boys are overly represented in the EBD category, and the federal report cites some reasons why: Girls are more likely to internalize prob- lems such as anxiety and depres- sion that do not interfere with classroom management, while boys are more likely to disrupt classrooms. The report said high- er classification rates for blacks could be due to teacher expecta- tions of what constitutes "normative" behavior. Minnesota's EBD caseload hit a high of 17,633 in December 1997 but actually declined slightly the following year, to 17,612, accord- ing to Norena Hale, a state super- visor in the division of special ed- ucation.

The drop came during a time when the overall student population was growing. Hale said state officials have not studied what caused the decline, but she said EBD students have higher dropout rates and move more often than other stu- dents. She called EBD "an emerg- i ing category" that can be harder to deal with than other disability categories. State From page 1A is not classifying too many children. "If those kids are getting a good education, Minnesota should be pleased," said Thomas Hehir, who oversees special education programs for the Education Department in Washington.

"What we're more concerned about are these other states, like Mississippi, that we believe are underidentifying and underserving these kids."
