Extractions: The rapid changes occurring in our society and in our health care system present many challenges for the school nurse. Many students come to school shouldering a background of profound health risks, which, in turn, affect their academic progress and success. Modern technology and pharmacology have made it possible for students with special health care needs to participate within the mainstream educational setting. Through the professional expertise of the school nurse, student health needs are assessed, identified and monitored. The school nurse functions with other professionals in the school community to facilitate health and wellness so that each student will have the opportunity for academic success. "School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well-being, academic success and lifelong achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and/or potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy and learning."

Education Reform In Massachusetts education reform in massachusetts was driven by the McDuffy school finance to massachusetts education policy and regulations, including the following, http://www.massparents.org/easternmass/brookline/ed_reform_bolon.htm
Extractions: Education Reform in Massachusetts Education Reform in Massachusetts Craig Bolon 30 August 2000 Education reform in Massachusetts was driven by the McDuffy school finance lawsuit, originally filed in 1978. In its McDuffy decision, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court said that Massachusetts funding disparities harmed the quality of education for some students, denying them education to which they were constitutionally entitled. This June, 1993, decision was widely anticipated, and the Massachusetts Education Reform Act was signed less than a week after the decision was released. A group called the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education, organized in 1988 and led by John C. (Jack) Rennie, then CEO of the former Pacer Infotec, Inc., of Burlington (now the AverStar division of Titan Corp., San Diego, CA), and S. Paul Reville, then director of the Worcester Public Education Fund, wrote the reform bill sponsored by the Education Committee of the legislature. In 1991 the Business Alliance produced a document entitled "Every Child a Winner." A story from the May 2, 1993, Northwest edition of the Boston Globe quoted Rep. Mark Roosevelt as saying that the House education reform bill then pending "is essentially [the Business Alliance document]." In publications of Mass Inc., Rennie is quoted as saying, "We bought change." Most of this work was carried out in secret. As late as December, 1992, then Lt. Gov. Cellucci was calling on the Education Committee chairs, Sen. Thomas Birmingham of Chelsea and Rep. Roosevelt of Beacon Hill, to disclose their bill. Almost all the controversy generated by this legislation focused on its funding formulas. Until 1993, the public had hardly any knowledge of its sweeping changes in school policy and regulation. The following newspaper report was printed December 23, 1992:

MEC - Superintendent Preparation Program promulgated by the massachusetts Department of education (August, 2002), purpose as explicitly stated in the Department of education regulations; http://www.mec.edu/profdev/superintendent.php
Extractions: As stated in the Guidelines for Approval of PreK- 12 Educator Preparation Programs promulgated by the Massachusetts Department of Education (August, 2002), the fundamental purpose of the educator preparation program is: To assure the public that teachers and other educators who complete these programs in Massachusetts are prepared to educate our PreK-12 students according to the learning standards in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. The Merrimack Leadership Academy (MLA) Superintendents Licensure Preparation Program is based on this fundamental purpose as explicitly stated in the Department of Education regulations; specifically 603 CMR 7.00, that became effective on October 1, 2001. The design, implementation, and evaluation of the preparation program are driven by these regulatory requirements and, just as importantly, the societal and educational needs of our students to achieve this purpose. To achieve the primary purpose of the Superintendents Licensure Preparation Program and to ensure overall quality assurance, the Merrimack Leadership Academy (MLA), a major program of the Merrimack Education Center, has designed and implemented an intensive superintendents preparation program in accordance with DOE requirements that provides multiple and varied opportunities for the candidates to learn how to provide administrative support and educational leadership for school districts and to hold principals, and other administrators, teachers, all other staff, and themselves accountable for effectively meeting their educational obligations to students, parents, and the community.
Education Priorities Rationale Several years ago the massachusetts Department of education promulgated regulations to Number of parents trained on the DOE regulations. http://www.dlc-ma.org/priorities/education.htm
Extractions: CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL DUE TO ACTIONS BY THE SCHOOL Priority #1 To reduce the number of students who are out of school due to unilateral action by school districts. Rationale The most recent Department of Education (DOE) statistics reflect steady increases in the number of special education students excluded from school each year. School districts systematically fail to comply with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requirement to conduct manifestation determinations to explore the relationship between a childs disability and the disciplinary infraction that prompted the exclusion. School districts underutilize functional behavioral assessments, behavioral modification plans, and other alternate discipline strategies for special education students. Priority Strategies Representation : Provide aggressive individual advocacy by assisting clients at team meetings, mediations, and hearings before the Bureau of Special Education Appeals to seek compensatory services and other remedies for students whom school districts have improperly excluded. Training : Educate parents, advocacy groups and special education professionals on IDEA 2004 changes in wrongful exclusion through training and dissemination of written materials.
