AUSTIN - A plan to make Texas one of the first states with a large-scale voucher program died Monday night after a raucous debate and a series of close votes in the House. After the bill was gutted to make vouchers available only for public and not private schools, Speaker Tom Craddick sustained a parliamentary challenge that killed the issue for this session. "I woke up this morning thinking this may be the day we made history in Texas," said Rep. Kent Grusendorf, sponsor of the proposal. "I'm disappointed."

The debate was provoked by a Louisiana case in which two Jefferson Parish parents challenged a federal program that loans instructional equipment, including computers, to parochial schools. A federal appeals court panel struck down the program as a violation of the First Amendment, which prohibits government establishment of religion. The appeals judges said they approached the case with caution because of the Supreme Court's confusing precedents in the area. In a string of cases over three decades, the Supreme Court has upheld some forms of aid to parochial schools, such as textbooks, but not others, evaluating each program differently. A decision in the case could come any time before the end of the Court term next summer. Tony Mauro, "Court debates funding for parochial schools" USA Today, December 2, 1999, 11A

In its general charitable purposes, a community foundation is much like a private foundation; its funds, however, are derived from many donors rather than a single source, as is usually the case with private foundations. Further, community foundations are usually classified under the tax code as public charities and therefore are subject to different rules and regulations than those which govern private foundations. (The site(s) listed below are launched in new browsers.) Amarillo Area Foundation The Amarillo Area Foundation of Texas was established in 1957 to meet the needs of underserved communities in the northernmost 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. The foundation does not limit its discretionary grantmaking to a particular area of interest. Rather, it seeks to support the entire range of human needs in the Panhandle. The foundation manages hundreds of funds in the form of donor-advised funds, scholarships, unrestricted funds, and project funds. In general, the foundation does not fund religious or political causes; private of parochial schools; national, state, or local fundraising activities; or general operating support for United Way agencies. The foundation's Web site features a history of the foundation, board/staff lists, grant application criteria, application guidelines, printable application form, deadlines, and FAQs.

'We can kind of start the traditions we want,' said Paul Scioneaux, future student. School leaders at John Paul II High School in Plano refused to show disappointment, saying instead that they're confident the school will fill in coming years, when prospective parents and students see it in action. "We believe the Lord has led the students here who are to be here," said Donna Smith, executive director of administration and educational operations. "We're thrilled with the numbers that are coming in." John Paul II was originally projected to open Aug. 15 with 900 freshmen, sophomores and juniors. In January, school leaders said they expected 700 to 750 students. It's planned to eventually hold 1,200 students.

Caprera with him) for the plaintiffs. John C. Mihos for the defendants. Nancy N. Hardenbergh, amicus curiae, submitted a brief. GREANEY, J. 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.

Back to Main Back to Volleyball Texas Volleyball signs pair of 6-5 middle blockers AUSTIN, Texas - Continuing his recent trend of strong recruiting, Texas volleyball head coach Jerritt Elliott announced Wednesday the signing of two top high school volleyball players during the early signing period (Nov. 10-17). Current high school seniors RuthAnn Feist (Wallisville, Texas/Baytown Christian Academy/Team Texas) and Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich./Saline HS/Go Blue VBC) will join the Longhorns for the 2005 campaign. "We are happy to welcome a pair of very talented players to our club," Elliott said. "They add a lot of size to our team and bring a lot of athleticism to the court. It's exciting to see players of this caliber continue to decide that Texas is the place they want to grow and help win championships. "RuthAnn continues the trend we've had of keeping Texas' best at home and in-state, and Lauren is widely considered the best middle blocker in the 2005 class. We'll add a lot of physicality when RuthAnn and Lauren arrive on campus, and we'll get a lot stronger at the net." Feist is one of prepvolleyball.com's Senior Aces. She helped lead Baytown Christian Academy to the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) 3A state championship in 2001, 2002 and 2004. She has earned multiple TAPPS all-state accolades and was named the 2004 area offensive player of the year. Additionally, she participated in the USA Volleyball High Performance camp in both 2001 and 2002 in Colorado Springs, Colo. Feist plays her club volleyball for Team Texas and will enroll at UT in January.

71. New Hepatitis A School Rule A Topic that has Generated Controversy in texas schools transferring to childcare facilities, public schools, private schools, or parochial schools. http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/immunize/uparch/q402prov.htm

Provisional Enrollment: A Topic that has Generated Controversy in Texas Schools By Monica Gamez All school children in Texas are required to have the immunizations as set forth in the Texas Education Code, Title 2, Chapter 25, §25.002 and the Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Title 25 Health Services, Part I, Chapter 97, Subchapter B, §97.61-§97.77. The immunization requirements are adopted as a statewide control measure for communicable disease as defined in the Health and Safety Code, §81.081 and §81.082. The requirements apply to all children and students entering, attending, enrolled in, and/or transferring to child-care facilities, public schools, private schools, or parochial schools. Rule §97.71 (TAC) entitled Provisional Enrollment states: “The law requires that students be fully immunized against specified diseases. A student may, however, be admitted provisionally if he or she has begun the required immunizations and if he or she continues to receive necessary immunizations as rapidly as medically feasible. If a student transfers from one school to another, a grace period of no more than 30 days may be allowed at the new school while awaiting the transfer of the immunization record, during which the student may be enrolled provisionally.” The Texas Education Code §38.001(e) states, “A person may be provisionally admitted to an elementary or secondary school if the person has begun the required immunizations and if the person continues to receive the necessary immunizations as rapidly as is medically feasible. The Texas Department of Health shall adopt rules relating to the provisional admission of persons to an elementary or secondary school.”

72. Diversity Strikes Out And here texas s rationale was even weaker. The law school s exclusion of Race preferences were granted to graduates of private and parochial schools. http://www.cir-usa.org/articles/40.html

Home News Diversity strikes out By David Tell The Weekly Standard , April 1, 1996 Affirmative action bleeds anew. And this latest wound might eventually prove fatal. Ruling March 18 in the case of Hopwood v. Texas, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has now sharply limited the circumstances under which a state-sponsored institution of higher education may give "substantial racial preferences in its admissions program . . . to the detriment of whites and non-preferred minorities." Such preferences remain theoretically permissible when designed to remedy the proved, persistent effects of a school's own past discriminatory practices, the court acknowledges. But the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause otherwise forbids the elevation of "some races over others, even for the wholesome purpose of correcting perceived racial imbalance in the student body." In other words, almost every race-conscious student-selection procedure now in place at an American public college or university is unconstitutional. And the constitutionality of American affirmative action generally, far beyond the realm of higher education, has never been more in question. The Fifth Circuit's reasoning eviscerates the "diversity" rationale upon which affirmative action loyalists have been hanging their increasingly slender hopes. If the opinion survives potential appeal, and if relevant authorities conscientiously comply with its clear meaning, then Hopwood, as one of the defeated attorneys in the case complains, leaves "no place in the country for affirmative action." He exaggerates. But only a little.

Epidemiologic Notes and Reports Measles El Paso, Texas, 1981 In the period March-June 1981, 219 cases of measles were reported by the El Paso (Texas) City-County Health Department. All patients had a temperature of at least 101 F (38.3 C), a rash of at least 3 days' duration, and at least 1 of the following: cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, or Koplik's spots. Twelve cases were confirmed by a 4-fold rise in complement fixation (11) or hemagglutination inhibition (1) antibody titers between acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens. Rash onset occurred between April 11 and May 8 in 154 (70.3%) of the cases. Patients ranged in age from 3 months to 36 years. The largest number of cases, 81 (37.0%), occurred among 15-19 year olds followed by 67 among 0-4 year olds (Table 1). Of these 67 pre-school patients, only 9 (13.4%) attended day-care centers. Of the 219 patients, 94 (42.9%) had histories of adequate measles vaccination*; 85 (38.8%) had no history of prior vaccination; and 37 (16.7%) had histories of inadequate vaccination. The vaccination status was unknown for 3 patients. Five of the 9 El Paso County public school districts were involved in the outbreak. The highest attack rate, 2.3 cases/1,000 enrollees, occurred in the Ysleta Independent School District, where 63 of the 100 cases reported occurred in a single high school (Figure 2). On April 28, 776 (34.3%) of the 2,265 students at that high school were identified as being susceptible, and a special clinic was conducted at the school on the morning of April 29. Only 6 cases were reported after the clinic date, and no cases were reported 14 days or more (1 incubation period) after the measles vaccination clinic.

At The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), you get the latest class of Eugene McDermott Scholars - a group of extremely talented young men and women with a penchant for academic excellence and community activism. Modeled after the prestigious Morehead Scholars program at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, the UTD program was made possible by a $32 million gift - the largest in UTD's history - from Mrs. Margaret McDermott, wife of the late Eugene McDermott, one of the co-founders of Texas Instruments. McDermott and his TI co-founders, Cecil Green and the late Erik Jonsson, also founded the research institution that in 1969 became UTD. In the two years since Mrs. McDermott's gift formally launched the initiative and the inaugural class was admitted for the fall semester of the 2001-02 academic year, the program has attracted 55 scholars, about half of them from the Dallas area. Eight have come from the Richardson Independent School District - five from Richardson High School alone.
