Publications The National Center on Education , Disability and Juvenile Justice SPECIAL REPORT Improving Education Services for Students in Detention and Confinement Facilities I. Introduction Approximately 90,000 young people are now in custody in public and private juvenile correctional facilities in the United States. Those incarcerated are disproportionately male, African-American, poor, and have significant learning and/or emotional problems that entitle them to special education services. The most common disabling conditions among juvenile offenders are developmental and learning disabilities as well as emotional or behavioral disorders. Many juveniles with disabilities in detention do not receive the educational services to which they are entitled. Studies document the failure of juvenile correctional institutions to provide adequate educational services to young people with disabilities. Ineffective governance of education programs in juvenile corrections, the mobility of adjudicated young people, and poorly developed links between public schools and institutional settings contribute to the academic problems of incarcerated young people.

A CWPP is a pre-requisite for federally funded programs for local projects. It can be used by Firewise working groups, individual homeowners, fire departments, fire management personnel in natural resource agencies and others involved in wildfire planning and mitigation efforts. A companion handbook, “Preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan” was recently prepared by several national organizations to assist communities in developing a CWPP which must be prepared in order for federal agencies to consider the local community priorities as the agencies develop and implement forest management and hazardous fuels projects.

CONTACT Education Working Paper No. 1 July 2003 Apples to Apples: An Evaluation of Charter Schools Serving General Student Populations Jay P. Greene, Ph.D. Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Greg Forster, Ph.D. Senior Research Associate, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Marcus A. Winters Research Associate, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research Executive Summary Charter schools—public schools that are exempt from many of the procedural regulations that apply to regular public schools—are a widespread but poorly-studied form of education reform. With nearly 2,700 charter schools now educating more than 684,000 children nationwide, policymakers and parents need to know how the education charter schools provide compares to that provided by regular public schools. Assessing the academic performance of charter schools is difficult, because many charter schools are targeted toward specific populations such as at-risk students, disabled students, and juvenile delinquents. This makes it very challenging for researchers to draw a fair comparison—comparing targeted charter schools to regular public schools is like comparing apples and zebras. As a result, there are very few reliable research findings on the academic quality of charter schools as compared to regular public schools.

Home Issues in Education Legislative Action Center Press Center ... News Releases NEA Study Reveals Teacher Salaries Stagnant for Last Decade The report, Research shows that the quality of a child's teacher is a key factor in closing the achievement gaps that exist today and ensuring that all students are prepared for success in work and life. Yet according to NEA's study, the average salary of a public school teacher for the 2003-2004 school year increased only slightly over the previous year. C-11 C-14 Speaking on behalf of NEA's 2.7 million educators, President Reg Weaver emphasized that inadequate state and local funding of public schools and the strict, costly regulations of the so-called "No Child Left Behind" law are making it more difficult for schools to retain quality employees. "A career in teaching offers many intrinsic rewards. But teachers should never have to choose between doing what they love and supporting their families," Weaver said. "We can't continue to ask them to fulfill such an important mission without providing the support they deserve and need to remain in the profession." Nationwide, at least 2 million teachers will be needed over the next decade because of teacher attrition and retirement and increased student enrollment. Research shows that more than one third of all new teachers leave the profession within three years and almost one half leave within five years due to poor working conditions and low salaries. The percentages are even higher for minority teachers, male teachers, and teachers under 30.
