Extractions: 6 November 2000 Back to screen version On November 7 voters in California and Michigan will cast ballots on state-wide initiatives to provide parents with publicly funded school vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools. California's Proposition 38 (the National Average School Funding Guarantee and Parental Right to Choose Quality Education Amendment) would make a $4,000 voucher available to the parents of all school-age children. The official anti-voucher coalitions are largely made up of the teachers unions and other AFL-CIO affiliates and sections of the Democratic Party. But these forces offer no serious program or strategy for addressing the crisis in public education, and the danger consequently exists that growing numbers of parents, desperate to find better conditions for their children, may be susceptible to pro-voucher arguments, if not now, then at some point in the future. These forces have sought to exploit the widespread anxiety felt by working class and middle class families over deteriorating conditions in the public school system. The voucher proponents, however, conceal the fact that the crisis in the schools is the product of decades of federal, state and local spending cuts, tax breaks to big business and attacks on teachers' and other school employees' wages and working conditions.

The debate was provoked by a Louisiana case in which two Jefferson Parish parents challenged a federal program that loans instructional equipment, including computers, to parochial schools. A federal appeals court panel struck down the program as a violation of the First Amendment, which prohibits government establishment of religion. The appeals judges said they approached the case with caution because of the Supreme Court's confusing precedents in the area. In a string of cases over three decades, the Supreme Court has upheld some forms of aid to parochial schools, such as textbooks, but not others, evaluating each program differently. A decision in the case could come any time before the end of the Court term next summer. Tony Mauro, "Court debates funding for parochial schools" USA Today, December 2, 1999, 11A

Today, nearly one in 10 American public-school students participates in some form of choice, ranging from charter schools to vouchers to open-enrollment programs that allow youngsters to attend any public school within or, in some cases, outside their district. Proponents of school choice contend that such programs will bring about change and improvement by forcing public schools to compete for students, and will expand and diversify the range of learning opportunities, experiences and environments available to students. Critics of school choice, on the other hand, argue that using marketplace reforms in the education arena treats learning as a commodity and has the potential to jeopardize the cherished American ideal of providing a quality education to all children. Whatever the pros and cons, the school-choice movement continues to gain ground. Increasingly state choice programs include a mix of inter- and intradistrict enrollment options, charter schools and home schooling. Several states are trying out or considering programs that provide cash certificates, tax credits or tax deductions to allow students to attend any school of their choice whether public or private.

The principal of these are Sonoma, Napa, Ukiah, Vaca, Contra Costa, and Alameda valleys in the north; and Santa Clara, Pajaro, and Salinas valleys in the south. South of the Tehachapi Range, in Southern California, is another low-lying stretch of country which has become the centre of the citrus industry and the home of a large variety of semi-tropical fruits. In the south-eastern part of the State and east of the mountains is the low-lying desert region consisting of the Mojave Desert and Death Valley. Owing to the great height of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and their comparative proximity to the sea, the numerous streams, fed from their glaciers and perpetual snows, afford abundant water-power throughout their steep descent to the sea. This power is utilized for generating light and operating mills and factories.

Around the former missions and the four military garrisons in the course of time immigrants from almost every part of the world took up their abode and founded cities, but the names of the saints under whose invocation the Indian missions had been established were retained, and thus it is that so many of the towns, rivers, and mountains still bear the names of various saints. The most noted among the early missionaries were the holy and energetic Fr. Junipero Serra , the founder of the missions; Fr. Francisco Palou , his biographer and the historian of the early missionary period; Fr. Fermin de Lasuen, the wise and firm successor of Fr. Serra comisario-prefecto Jesuit Fathers Rt. Rev. Francis Mora was born at Vich, Catalonia, Spain, 25 Nov., 1827; he attended the seminary of his native city; in 1855 he accompanied Bishop Amat to California, and was ordained priest at Santa Barbara, 19 March, 1856. From July of that year to the end of 1860 he was stationed at the Indian mission of San Juan Bautista, and from September, 1861, to July, 1866, he had charge of Mission San Luis Obispo. After that he resided at Los Angeles. On 20 May, 1873, Father Mora was consecrated Bishop of Mosynopolis in partibus infidelium and made coadjutor of Bishop Amat. At the death of the latter he succeeded to the See of Monterey and Los Angeles. In 1894 he asked for a coadjutor, who was appointed in the person of Rt. Rev. George Montgomery. On 1 February, 1896, Bishop Mora resigned, and when Rome, 20 June, accepted his resignation he returned to Spain. He died at Sarria, Catalonia, 3 August, 1905. During his administration the Sisters of St. Joseph and of St. Dominic were invited into the diocese to open schools. Bishop Mora was remarkable for his financial ability, and succeeded in paying off many of the important debts of the diocese, and by his careful investments left it in a splendid financial condition.

What pediatrician should we select? And of course, where will we send our child to school? The plethora of choices continue to develop as your child grows. The decision to send your child - a baptized Orthodox Christian - to a non-Orthodox parochial school may be made for as many reasons as there are individual children. What is a parochial school?
