James Pivarnik, an MSU professor of kinesiology and osteopathic surgical specialties, and two graduate students conducted the study of 162 fourth through sixth graders. Results were presented at the 48th annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in Baltimore. "Our data indicate that of the three charter schools we tested, the more established one scored fairly evenly with the well-established parochial school in terms of fitness, activity and cardiovascular disease risk factor profiles," Pivarnik said. Pivarnik and colleagues used a series of tests designed to measure students' strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition and cardiovascular fitness. Also, the students' body mass indices, blood pressures and lipid profiles were compared. Results were then compared among the three charter schools and one parochial school.

Extractions: TRANSCRIPT The Supreme Court decides to allow public school teachers to teach remedial classes at private schools, while still on the taxpayers' clock. This reverses the Court's 1985 decision not to allow the teachers to teach for parochial schools. Why the change? Elizabeth Farnsworth reports. JIM LEHRER: Right. Okay. Now, let's go to some things the court did decide. And another one of those major decisions dealt with whether public schoolteachers can offer remedial help at parochial schools. When that case was argued last April, some of you may remember, Elizabeth Farnsworth prepared this backgrounder. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The children at Sacred Heart Primary School in the South Bronx do a lot of walking. About 100 of the Catholic school's 900 students participate in remedial education programs. They're provided for poor students by the federal government in a program called Title I. But because of a 1985 Supreme Court decision remedial classes taught by public school teachers cannot take place inside parochial schools. So the New York City Board of Education parks three vans down the street from Sacred Heart. The children put on their coats and are escorted from their classrooms by parent volunteers. At the school door they're met by the van drivers, who help them cross the street and enter the vans. After an hour or sometimes less of instruction, they return to Sacred Heart in two straight lines. Teachers complain the walk to the vans takes time that could be better spent in the classroom.

Extractions: Article - School Vouchers: Voters Say No by Albert Menendez and Edd Doerr Regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the Cleveland school voucher case this year, the voucher issue will continue to play a role in the political process. Just about every state legislature and Congress could see battles over proposals to drain the public treasury to support nonpublic schools under the guise of parental choice. And hard-pressed public schools will be caught in the crossfire as they try to maintain adequate levels of funding to educate 90% of this countrys children. IN THE 2000 ELECTIONS voters in two large and important states, California and Michigan, overwhelmingly rejected voucher schemes in statewide referenda. These voters handed advocates of public aid to private and parochial schools their 23rd and 24th defeats in 25 elections held in 14 states since 1966.

In the United States such schools are maintained by a number of religious groups, including Lutherans, Seventh-day Adventists, Orthodox Jews, Muslims, and evangelical Protestant churches. However, the most numerous are those attached to Roman Catholic parishes. The Catholic parochial school system developed in the 19th cent. as a response to what was then seen as Protestant domination of the public school system in the United States. A group of American bishops met in the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore (1884) to plan for the establishment of a comprehensive parochial school system. Local churches were directed to establish elementary schools for the education of the parish children. In time a number of secondary, or high, schools, supported by a diocese and encompassing a number of parish schools, were also established. Both the elementary and secondary schools developed a religious curriculum emphasizing Catholic doctrine along with a secular curriculum very similar to that of the public schools. During the middle of the 20th cent., much of parochial education's traditional structure began to change. The ecumenical spirit generated by the Second Vatican Council (1962â65) convinced many Roman Catholics that the religious education of the parochial school was too separatist. Moreover, parochial schools suffered from the criticism that public schools provided a better secular education at less cost. Because of such criticisms, parochial schools were forced to hire lay teachers, who came to account for an increasingly larger proportion of the faculty. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Roman Catholic schools began to encounter severe financial problems; many parish schools were closed and the Catholic school population dropped sharply.

Another shows a child, the camera slowly panning back to show she's in a wheelchair. Ads about Proposal 1 have run the gamut from sarcasm to pathos. Depending on who you listen to, vouchers will either save poor children in failing school districts or destroy public education throughout the state. But millions of dollars' worth of campaign ads have obscured the facts about Michigan's school voucher proposal. "I still don't understand the specifics," Greg Kozlowski of Roseville said of Proposal 1, just one week before the election. "I don't have enough information to decide." He's not alone. Proposal 1 is complicated. In addition to instituting vouchers, or publicly funded scholarships to private schools, it would make teacher testing mandatory and set a minimum level of school funding in Michigan. Here are frequently asked question about Proposal 1, and the answers. Q: If the state could send tax dollars to private schools, "what about the separation of church and state?" asked Stephen Judd of St. Clair Shores. "How would that be handled?"

History Of St. Louis Neighborhoods - Carondelet The parochial school, which was founded in January, 1860, now occupies a building A brick school building at michigan and Koeln was completed in 1870. http://stlouis.missouri.org/neighborhoods/history/carondelet/churches6.htm
Extractions: A hill top site northwest of the present intersection of Holly Hills and Pennsylvania Avenues was set aside for church purposes in 1767 by Carondelet's founder, Clement DeLore de Treget. The first church erected there was a log chapel dedicated to St. Francis Xavier in 1775. Two succeeding churches, bearing the name of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St. Joseph of the Angels were erected on this site. The first of these, built in 1819, was described as a "modest hut of rough boards." The second church was a stone structure which was completed in 1835. In 1859, the name of the parish, which was founded in 1824, was changed to St. Mary and St. Joseph and a new brick church was erected. It was situated on a site north of that of the earlier structures. The corner stone of the present church of St. Mary and St. Joseph at 6304 Minnesota Avenue, was laid in September, 1940. Adjoining the church is the parochial school which was constructed in 1926. St. Boniface Church at Michigan Avenue and Schirmer Street was founded in 1860 as the first German Catholic parish in Carondelet. The building, which was designed by Thomas W. Brady in the Romanesque style, has two 100 foot towers flanking its entrance. The towers were completed in 1868 and 1890 respectively. The parochial school, which was founded in January, 1860, now occupies a building which was finished in 1949. St. Columbkille's Church at 8202 Michigan Avenue was organized in 1872 to serve Irish iron workers of the nearby Vulcan Iron Works. The building was dedicated in March, 1873. Its pastor, Father Michael O'Reilly was called a "militant defender of the Church" bnecause of his defense of his parishioners against slurs of character. Before plans for a larger church were consummated, the iron works closed down and the parish population dwindled. The church was razed in 1952, at which time the parish was discontinued.

The oldest religious institution in Carondelet is the Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph at 6400 Minnesota Avenue. The Sisters came to St. Louis in 1836 at the invitation of Bishop Rosati. In that same year they established schools in Carondelet and Cahokia. The latter school was abandoned following damage by the flood of 1844.

University of Illinois Press, 1998. 310 pp. When this reviewer was a seventh-grader (1949-50) in a Detroit parochial school, his Catholic sister-teacher entrusted to him for "collateral reading" the newly published centennial history of the Immaculate Heart of Mary congregation to which she belonged. The history in two volumes comprised 1,195 pages. It was not what most seventh-grade boys were reading for fun a half-century ago. Reading For Faith and Fortune brought that exhausting but intriguing project to mind, because Vinyard's work tells the stories of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters and the other Catholic vowed congregations and orders which have provided education in their faith to generations of Detroit residents from 1805 to the present, As a product of three of those hallowed institutions (grade school, high school, and university), I found that the book broadened my grasp of the larger enterprise from which my generation has benefited.

Berezowsky TROY, Mich. - A group of 11 school administrators from the Kherson region of Ukraine in May visited Michigan as part of the State Department-sponsored Community Connections-International Visitors Council of Metropolitan Detroit program. They were hosted by Judy Kebl, project director, and Coco and Robert Siewert, of Birmingham; Julie and Norm Quinn of Royal Oak; Carol Kohut, Julie and Timothy McGee, and Connie and Michael Alonzo of Troy; and Judy and Bob Brien, of Waterford. The members of the delegation - principals of high schools in the cities of Kherson, Skadovsk, Nova Kakhivka and the villages of Novopavlisvk, Syvaske and Otradivka - were: Olena Buhlak, Iryna Dubas, Nadiya Knorr, Andriy Kozachenko, Nataliya Krupa, Svitlana Mykytiuk, Valentyna Parhachova, Hanna Sotsenko, Valentyna Tkachenko, Olena Vakulych, and Oleksander Slobodenyuk, head of the delegation. The members of the delegation were on a very tight schedule during their entire visit, as they visited various governmental, educational and cultural institutions and a number of Detroit-area high schools, both public and private. Included on their itinerary was Michigan's capital city, Lansing, where they visited the Capitol Building and the Supreme Court. In the neighboring city of East Lansing, the group visited the campus of Michigan's largest university, Michigan State University, as well as the headquarters of the Michigan Department of Education.

The fact that the act might operate unconstitutionally under some conceivable set of circumstances is insufficient. If any state of facts reasonably can be conceived that would sustain an act, the existence of that state of facts at the time the law was enacted must be assumed. Further, a statute may be constitutional although it lacks provisions which meet constitutional requirements if it does not exclude these requirements. In this situation, the court is justified in holding that the statute was intended to be subject to these requirements, and that those requirements are to be considered as embodied in the statute.
