Homeschool
Public school attendance was not mandatory in texas until 1916. Because there were few private and parochial schools, many children were taught at home.
http://www.carwrecks.com/homeschool.html

Extractions: The following is an outline of a speech presented on April 28, 1999. History Public school attendance was not mandatory in Texas until 1916. Prior to the passage of a compulsory education law, no more than 10% of school-age children attended public schools. Because there were few private and parochial schools, many children were taught at home. In the 1916-1917 school year, the first compulsory attendance law required children between age 8 and 14 years of age to attend public school for 60 days. The next year, the required number of days increased to 80. The next year, the requirement increased to 100 days. Parents were responsible for assuring that children complied and failure to do so was a misdemeanor punishable by a fine. A child who refused to attend school could be disciplined by the juvenile court as a habitual truant. The law authorized the appointment of attendance officers to enforce its provisions. The first compulsory attendance law exempted "any child in attendance upon a private or parochial school or who is being properly instructed by a private tutor." In 1923, the reference to private tutors was deleted, and instead the statute exempted "any child in attendance upon a private or parochial school which shall include in its course a study of good citizenship, and shall make the English language the basis of instruction in all subjects". In 1971, the English language restriction was dropped.

Extractions: FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE Will taxpayers end up footing the bill for religious schools? Voucher schemes in several state threaten to divert public money from education budgets into the coffers of sectarian groups. Under the ruse of "scholarships" and "parental choice," the integrity of public education is being eroded. Web Posted: March 11,1999 n Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and elsewhere, a new effort is underway to enact state level voucher legislation which critics say will end up putting religious schools on the public assistance roles. The scheme involves the use of tuition vouchers, rebates or tax credits which permit parents to choose whether to keep their children in public schools, or use the money for private and religious institutions. The vouchers are sometimes described with euphemisms such as "opportunity scholarships." The road to enact voucher legislation on capitol hill has been a rough one; what appears to have fueled the current wave of state voucher proposals has been frustration with Washington, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision last year to uphold a Milwaukee voucher program. In JACKSON v. BENSON, Wisconsin's highest court ruled that public funding of sectarian education did not violate the state's prohibition against support of religious institutions. Instead, justices attempted to argue that the voucher program was what the Freedom Forum described as "a neutral educational assistance program that did not amount to government advancement of religious education."

Legal Memorandum On Homeschooling In Texas By Christopher J

http://www.homeschooltexas.com/FAQs/HS_legal_memorandum.html

Extractions: By Christopher J. Klicka, Senior Counsel of HSLDA Home schooling is a popular educational alternative in Texas and throughout the country. It is estimated that nearly 1 million children are being home schooled. In Texas, home schools have been legally recognized as private schools. As long as a home school uses a written curriculum and teaches five core subjects of reading, grammar, math, spelling, and good citizenship, it is legal. [See Texas Education Agency, et al v. Leeper, et al, No. D-2022, Texas Supreme Court, June 15, 1994] Home schools do not have to register with the school district, submit to home visits, have their child(ren) tested or submit their curriculum for approval by the school district. The Leeper case was initiated in March 1985 after 150 innocent home school parents were prosecuted as a direct result of school districts relying on a 1981 Texas Education Agency policy. This policy stated "educating a child at home is not the same as private school instruction and therefore, not an acceptable substitute." This, in effect, outlawed home schooling in Texas. The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), a national, non-profit association dedicated to protecting the rights of parents to teach their own children, joined with several Texas home school families and curriculum providers to bring this class action civil rights suit. They sued all the 1060 school districts in the state and the Texas Education Agency for violating the home schoolers civil rights under 42 U.S.C. Section 1988 and Section 37.009 V.T.C.A. Civil Practice and Remedies Code. HSLDA and the other home school plaintiffs retained attorney Shelby Sharpe of Fort Worth to file suit and handle the case. In April of 1987, the Tarrant County District Court ruled in favor of the home schoolers and the State and school districts appealed.

They remained with the Ursuline Sisters qv for several months studying English and Spanish before going to Brownsville in March 1853. The sisters' first house was a small one-story warehouse; later they secured the loan of a four-room house. By November their first convent was completed, and a boarding and day school was conducted. At the request of Bishop Claude Marie Dubuis qv Sister St. Claire, along with volunteers from Europe, opened an independent house, Nazareth Academy, in Victoria on January 7, 1867. The sisters took part in a "community system" from 1874 to 1895, when parents petitioned for a public school in their community. When a demand was made for the nuns to wear secular clothes, the arrangement with the sisters ended. During this time they also opened a school for African Americans, qv BIBLIOGRAPHY: Catholic Archives of Texas. Mother M. Patricia Gunning, I.W.B.S.

Our situation at the public school had gotten to the point of shopping for a private school, and then looking into home education. We started home educating before Leeper was finalized, and so for the first several years, it was just do it until they told you to stop. We went to several conferences and meetings, all the while my dh was asking Was it Legal? Now that the Leeper case has been ruled on by the Supreme Court , we have an outline of what are the parameters of home school. Since then the Texas Education Commissioner has sent letters out to the districts outlining the official status of home education. You can read Dr. Shirley J. Neeley's letter

Extractions: $50 Million Horizon Project a Model for the Nation San Antonio, TX - An historic educational choice project announced today in San Antonio will enable, for the first time ever, thousands of families in an entire school district to exercise choice of schools. CEO Horizon, a project of the Children's Educational Opportunity Foundation of America (CEO AMERICA), CEO San Antonio (a local, privately funded voucher program), and San Antonio business leaders, is reaching out to the 14,000 'at-risk' students of the San Antonio Edgewood School District, by offering full tuition scholarships to transfer to any school their parents choose. The program will begin with the Fall semester of this year and continue for at least 10 years, with a minimum commitment of $5 million per year. In addition to the immediate impact it will have on the local community, it offers the best model to date as to what a publicly funded voucher program will be able to achieve. As a result of the program, researchers will be assessing the implications and impact upon student performance as well as the impact upon quality and availability of public and private education options. CEO AMERICA president Fritz Steiger said the magnitude of the program will touch many lives in a positive manner: "We are reaching out to the most "at-risk" children and offering a long term commitment to improve their educational opportunities. Our efforts are aimed at helping the entire Edgewood community and being a catalyst to improve educational quality for every child in every school."

To determine the effectiveness of a district's organization and management, it is necessary to evaluate it against several critical factors. An efficient and logical organizational structure supports an effective planning, budgeting and improvement process that ensures that district resources are used efficiently and support the district's goals. BACKGROUND FCISD is a small district with 338 students in 2000-01 that is managed by a superintendent, a high school principal and an elementary principal. The present Falls City Independent School District was organized in 1949 as Falls City Common Consolidated County Line School District. The district was organized by consolidating smaller "Common" districts and parochial schools including Falls City, Hobson, Ehlers (in Wilson County), Deweesville, Laake, Cestohowa, Holy Trinity Parochial School of Falls City and Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parochial School of Cestohowa. An agreement was reached with the parochial schools that the newly formed school system would employ certified teachers from their schools. Consequently, nuns of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament and the order of Felician Sisters taught in the consolidated system into the 1990's.
