Extractions: Famous Cases Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971) Mr. Chief Justice BURGER delivered the opinion of the Court. These two appeals raise questions as to Pennsylvania and Rhode Island statutes providing state aid to church-related elementary and secondary schools. Both statutes are challenged as violative of the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pennsylvania has adopted a statutory program that provides financial support to nonpublic elementary and secondary schools by way of reimbursement for the cost of teachers salaries, textbooks, and instructional materials in specified secular subjects. Rhode Island has adopted a statute under which the State pays directly to teachers in nonpublic elementary schools a supplement of 15% of their annual salary. Under each statute state aid has been given to church-related educational institutions. We hold that both statutes are unconstitutional. I The Rhode Island Statute In order to be eligible for the Rhode Island salary supplement, the recipient must teach in a nonpublic school at which the average per-pupil expenditure on secular education is less than the average in the States public schools during a specified period. Appellant State Commissioner of Education also requires eligible schools to submit financial data.

Extractions: The argument continues despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, in Zelman v. Kimmons-Harris on June 27, 2002 that such funding is not a constitutional violation. While the decision was 5-4, all five in the majority joined in the decision written by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, which means the ruling constitutes binding Court precedent.

Extractions: Child Lures Prevention Implemented Statewide CHICAGOIn an effort to protect children and prevent child abduction and exploitation in Illinois, Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich today launched the nationally recognized Child Lures Prevention Initiative, which teaches parents and children to recognize potential danger signs and make smart decisions to avoid child predators. The Child Lures Prevention Program, founded by renowned child personal safety expert Ken Wooden, will be introduced in 3,200 public elementary and middle schools statewide as a resource to help protect children against predatory crime. NBC5 in Chicago is partnering with Child Lures Prevention, Gov. Blagojevich, the Illinois State Police, the State Board of Education and the Illinois Principals Association to bring Child Lures Prevention to the children and families of Illinois. NBC 5 will broadcast a one-hour "Smart Choices, Safe Kids: A Child Lures Prevention Town Hall Meeting" on Saturday, September 17, at 6:00 p.m. The town hall meeting will also be broadcast by WMBD-TV/WYZZ-TV in Peoria, KWQC-TV in Davenport, WGEM-TV in Quincy, WPSD-TV in Paducah, WTVO-TV in Rockford, and WCIA-TV in Springfield.

Extractions: Phone: (215) 699-7777 Fax: (215) 699-8846 Board of Commissioners Administration Activities Boards/Commissions ... Voter Information Located in central Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Upper Gwynedd Township depicts living at its best with a unique combination of history and progression. Upper Gwynedd Township encompasses 8.05 square miles with a population of 14,243. The City of Philadelphia is approximately 25 miles southeast with easy access by way of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Schuylkill Expressway, Interstate 476, Routes 202 and 309. Upper Gwynedd Township is a prime area to reside due to the fact that it is close enough to the city for commuting yet far enough to experience country living. Originally founded in 1891, Upper Gwynedd Township was organized as a First-Class Township in 1963. This designation as First-Class Township comes from the First-Class Township Code, which outlines the powers granted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the Township. The Township's authority is restricted to those powers specifically authorized by the Commonwealth. Encompassed in Upper Gwynedd Township's boundaries is the Gwynedd Preserve. The Preserve consists of 240 acres and is located off of Swedesford Road near Township Line Road. The Preserve supports a diverse variety of habitats in the wild including ponds and wetlands, open meadows, wildflower meadows, hedgerows, deciduous forests, and conifer plantations. The Preserve is open to the public and visitors can wander the trails during daylight hours.
League Of Women Voters Of PA Education Position Do children who attend private and parochial school do better academically? The pennsylvania Department of Education should exercise leadership in http://pa.lwv.org/issues/education.html
Extractions: A nonpartisan grassroots civics organization EDUCATION POSITION IN BRIEF Support equal access to quality public education, to be achieved by participation of government and citizens at all levels and by adequate financing based on an equitable and flexible tax system. BACKGROUND The original position was adopted in 1975, recognizing the interrelationship of LWVPA positions on education, equality of opportunity, and taxation. Since that time, language on school funding has reflected current positions on taxation and fiscal policy. The position was updated after a 1985-1986 review of teacher and other professional evaluations, preparation, certification, and tenure. In 2003, the position was further updated, emphasizing the need for both adequate state funding and a system that distributes these funds in a manner that diminishes the dependence of school districts on the resources of local taxpayers, thereby decreasing the unacceptable disparities in resources between rich and poor districts. As part of the 2003 update, the position was expanded to address implementation of the 1997 Charter School Law and the problems inherent in the system of state funding of local special education costs.
