Extractions: Indiana Education Policy Center, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN Expansive and Restrictive Legislation The following 12 criteria can be used to determine whether a charter school law is expansive (i.e., facilitates the development of autonomous charter schools) or restrictive (i.e., provides little incentive for charter school development): Number of schools: States that permit many charter schools encourage more activity than states that permit few. Variety of sponsors: States that permit multiple sponsors (such as local school boards, state boards, and universities) encourage more activity than those that vest authorizing power in a single entity, particularly if that entity is the local school board. Variety of operators: States that permit a variety of groups or individuals (such as teachers, parents or other citizens, non-profit organizations, and businesses) to start new charter schools encourage more activity than states that limit eligible operators to particular groups or individuals, such as licensed teachers. Variety of schools: States that permit existing schools to convert and new schools to start from scratch encourage more activity than those that permit only conversions.

Extractions: Link to the HEM blog. This sounds awfully familiar. Rebecca Valois is working to become a lawyer without setting foot in a law school. She's studied for three years at the private Virginia practice of her mother-in-law, Judith Valois, who was admitted to the state bar in 1986 after getting her legal education from her husband. They are "law readers" people who study law in offices or judges' chambers rather than classrooms. ..."If I were redesigning the entire legal education system it would definitely provide more of a real-world, mentored experience," Blasi said. ...Judith Valois, who supervised the studies of both her daughters-in-law, said friends tease her about being the "Valois School of Law." She said a big benefit to law reading is that students get one-on-one instruction from someone who cares about them. Home(law)schooling is even more unusual than homeschooling.

Extractions: Indiana School Law and the School System of 1886 The educational mandate of the new constitution still left the legislature with the thorny problem of how to establish a system and more importantly how to fund and administer the schools. The Common School Fund of Indiana was a major source of income for the schools. A number of established funds, such as the Sinking Fund, the Swamp Land Fund, and other funds of equally colorful nomenclature funneled into the School Fund. These monies, along with township and local tax sources established over the years, were responsible for the support of the public school system by 1886. (See attached School Funding) The administration of the schools at the state level was left to the Department of Public Instruction, headed by the elected office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction. As to the administration of schools at a local level, various systems were enacted over the years, but the County Superintendency Law of 1873 established the system that would govern the local schools of 1886. (Boone:240) Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State School Board The new Constitution of 1851 established the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The office was a two-year elected position and the School Law of 1852 laid out the responsibilities of the office. According to that law, the superintendent was required to: spend time in each judicial district to examine the schools; supervise school monies, receive reports from county auditors and trustees; recommend books and supervise township libraries; examine all applicants for license; make reports to the Governor and General Assembly and chair the State School Board. (Cotton: 19-20) The most extensive of these reports was the Biennial Report of the Superintendent. This report gave in detail all the workings of the entire department statewide and, by 1886, included the minutes of professional meetings, curriculum, all teacher exams and the all statistics for education in the state of Indiana. (Biennial Reports 1881-1886)

Extractions: Ms. Morgan is also an Ashbrook scholar at Ashland University. Introduction Schools around the United States are now faced with education a growing number of children who lack basic English skills. According to the National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education , there are 2,437,723 Limited English Proficiency students in the U.S.1 Only a few years ago, many schools had never dealt with a language minority child. Today, an increasing number do. The challenge of providing a quality education to all students is doubled when schools must also teach a child an entire new language as well as academic courses. Over the last 30 years, elected officials, education agencies, and the courts have established guidelines for the education of these students. Federal requirements allow states a wide deal of latitude in selecting the most effective programs for their limited-English-proficient (LEP) students. Many states have enacted their own laws governing the management and style of programs for LEPs. These laws have been developed in cooperation with, or under coercion from, federal agencies and/or activist organizations. The result has been a patchwork of laws and regulations that can vary greatly from state to state.
