Extractions: (Academy for Advancing Technology Leadership and Education in Schools) The Massachusetts Technology Leadership Consortium (MA-TLC) is pleased to announce a new leadership academy designed to help district and school leaders work as a team to address the challenges specific to their own schools and districts. This team-based professional development opportunity, worth several thousand dollars, is made available at no cost to districts through a grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Unlike many programs that only focus on a planning institute, ATLES will provide resources and reinforcement to teams in advance of the institute and during the implementation process. Support from Academy professional staff starts before the first group meeting and continues throughout the school year. Teams will attend a four-day Institute held during the summer of 2004. Prior to the institute, an ATLES facilitator assigned to each team will help the group prepare for the institute in order to maximize value from the program. The facilitator will stay with the team during the Institute and provide up to two additional days of support during the following school year, including research, material development, or consultation in person or via telephone or email.

Extractions: March-April 2000, No. 15 In this Issue: R eligious institutionschurches, dioceses, synods, synagogues, mosques, parochial schools, social service organizations, and others often feed the hungry as part of their mission or ministry. Religious institutions have long been key providers of emergency food. At the same time, many provide children safe havens in the form of summer, afterschool, before-school and early childhood programs, and homeless and domestic violence shelters. These efforts to keep children safe and nurtured can be greatly helped by use of the federal child nutrition programs, which can provide funds to religious institutions as well as other non-profits and public agencies to serve meals and snacks in many of the service programs that they are operating. Serving nutritious snacks and meals to low- income children can help share with parents the work of providing for the family's most basic needs. The food also acts as a magnet drawing children into a program allowing them to fully benefit from its services. The funds from the child nutrition programs can provide a stable funding source for many programs and free up program dollars that in turn can be used to improve services or increase the number of children being helped.

Ethics and Public Policy Center. 516 pp. $29.95. Reviewed by Mark C. Henrie For all their concern about the rise of anti-democrats in post-Soviet Russia, when it comes to the decisive excellence of the American regime our chattering classes strangely forget self-government and the will of the people. Instead they proffer for praise the wise guidance of the Supreme Court, our government's most antidemocratic branch. Indeed, given the wrenching national struggle we witness each time a seat on the High Bench must be filled, it sometimes seems that the primary function of our Senate and presidency is the filling of openings among the Nine Oligarchs. Of course, there is truth to the claim that constitutional democracy is recognized by its special respect for law. One might also observe that our Nine represent a needed aristocratic element in an American "mixed regime"-this despite the Founders' boast of having achieved a government wholly republican in character. Such an aristocracy would probably not be objectionable were there less divergence between the moral and social intuitions of these oligarchs and those of the people, a divergence particularly acute on the question of the social role of religion. Surely the "spirit of the laws" is violated when courts decree a theory of justice that so completely contradicts the character of a people as does our case law concerning the Religion Clause(s) of the First Amendment.

Types of Private Schools Private schools in the United States may be broadly classified as either religious or nonsectarian (nonreligious) institutions. The most common types of religious schools in the United States are supported by various branches of the Catholic Church. Some private schools are known as boarding schools because they offer lodging to students in addition to academic instruction. Private schools that do not offer lodging are often called day schools. Private schools that focus on academic preparation for college are sometimes called preparatory schools or prep schools. Both religious and nonsectarian private schools may feature other distinguishing characteristics, such as single-sex enrollment or residential facilities. The term independent school refers to any private school that is independently governed by a board of trustees, rather than by a church or religious organization. Independent schools may have a religious or nonsectarian orientation. They are financed primarily by tuition, fees, charitable contributions, and income from investments, rather than by tax or church funds. The main organization representing independent schools in the United States is the National Association of Independent Schools. A.
AG Blocks Petition To Repeal Stem-cell Law - The Boston Globe The new law encourages embryonic stemcell research in massachusetts, funding of parochial schools what was then known as the Anti-Aid Amendment. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2005/07/19/ag_blocks_pet
Extractions: Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... Mass. July 19, 2005 Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly yesterday stopped a proposed initiative petition aimed at repealing the state's new embryonic stem-cell research law, citing a provision that allows medical workers to opt out of the research for religious reasons. Reilly said that the state Constitution, as well as a series of high court rulings, stated that any law that relates distinctively to religion cannot go before the voters. The new law encourages embryonic stem-cell research in Massachusetts, but exempts medical staff with ''sincerely-held religious practices or beliefs" from the work. The attorney general's action, part of a required review of proposed ballot initiatives, halts the petition drive unless backers can persuade a court to overturn the decision. The backer of the initiative, Catholic activist Larry Cirignano, said he is considering an appeal of the decision. It is the first time since 1999 Reilly has rejected a proposed ballot question based on religion, when he determined that an initiative aimed at allowing public funding of private, religious schools did not pass muster. Reilly has, however, turned away more than a dozen other proposed questions on constitutional grounds.

We granted the plaintiffs' application for direct appellate review in this case to consider the validity of a requirement of the school committee of Lynn that conditioned approval of the plaintiffs' home education plans on home visits by the superintendent or his representative to "observe and evaluate the [home] instructional process." A judge in the Superior Court considered cross motions for summary judgment, Mass. R. Civ. P. 56 (a) and (b), 365 Mass. 824 (1974), and granted the defendant's motion after deciding that the home visit requirement was valid. We conclude that the requirement is not essential to approval of the plaintiffs' home education plans. Accordingly, we vacate the judgment and order a declaration of the parties' rights reflecting our conclusion. The material facts are not in dispute and may be summarized as follows. The plaintiffs, Michael and Virginia Brunelle, are married and are the parents of five school-aged children. The Brunelles moved to Lynn in 1993, and gave notice to school officials that they intended to educate their children at home. Mrs. Brunelle is certified to teach elementary education and Mr. Brunelle has a master's degree in Christian education.

Through the on-campus Speech and Hearing Clinic, the Department of Communicative Sciences and Deaf Studies at California State University, Fresno provides necessary services to students, staff, faculty, and community residents with communicative disorders, while preparing our students to become professionals who provide services throughout the region and state. With such services, we improve individuals' communication, social development, academic performance and potential, and emotional adjustment to life. We do this while helping them develop the communicative skills necessary to enhance their employability. In California and beyond, our department is actively involved in the dissemination of knowledge within the field. We seek to provide students with the most advanced levels of knowledge and technology available while they gain community service experience, administering much-needed aid to communicatively handicapped individuals both on campus and throughout the region.
