Extractions: Violence and Discipline Problems in U.S. Public Schools: 1996-97 See also Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2002 The sample of public schools for the FRSS Principal/School Disciplinarian Survey on School Violence was selected from the 1993-94 NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) Public School Universe File. Over 84,000 public schools are contained in the CCD Universe File, of which almost 79,000-49,000 regular elementary schools, 14,000 regular middle schools, and 15,801 regular secondary/combined schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia-meet the eligibility criteria for this study. Excluded from the sampling frame were special education, vocational, and alternative/other schools, schools in the territories, and schools with a high grade lower than one or ungraded. In April 1997 questionnaires were mailed to 1,415 school principals. The principal was asked either to complete the questionnaire or to have it completed by the school disciplinarian who was most knowledgeable about discipline issues at the school. Telephone followup of nonrespondents was initiated in late April, and data collection was completed in July 1997. Eleven schools were found to be out of the scope of the study (no longer in existence), and a total of 1,234 schools completed the survey. Thus, the final raw response rate was 88 percent (1,234 schools divided by the 1,404 eligible schools in the sample). The weighted overall response rate was 89 percent. Weighted item nonresponse rates ranged from percent to 0.9 percent. Because the item nonresponse was so low, imputation for item nonresponse was not implemented.
Extractions: Types of Public Schools In the 1996-97 school year, 86,058 public schools provided instruction to 45.6 million students in the United States ( table 1 This was an increase of 1.7 percent over the previous year for students and 1.1 percent in the number of schools. Most of these institutions were regular schools (81,163). Regular schools often provide a range of special, vocational, and alternative programs in addition to their traditional curriculum offerings; however, in 1996-97 there were 4,895 schools that offered these specialized programs as their primary function. Among this group were 1,686 schools whose major function was to provide special education for students with disabilities and 335 schools identified as vocational. Some 2,874 schools were reported to offer other alternative programs.

Extractions: IN TENNESSEE SCHOOLS Tennessee's 138 local school systems operate 1,623 schools that employ 65,876 professional educators and serve 896,556 students. Tennessee's student population is approximately 72% Caucasian, 25% African American, and 3% other minorities. Approximately 17% of the students receive special education services, 28% are in Title I compensatory education programs, and 43% receive free or reduced-price school meals. In 38 of the 138 school systems, 50% or more of the students are on free or reduced-price school meals. The number of English Language Learners who were identified as having barriers because English is not their native language increased 35% from 1998-99 to 1999-2000. According to the most recent survey by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, 44,860 students were paddled in Tennessee elementary, middle and high schools during the 1999-2000 school year. That is 4.2% of the student population, up from 4.0% in 1997-98, the first increase in over a decade. Tennessee is ranked fourth in the nation in percentage of students receiving corporal punishment. This number, however, does not reflect the actual incidence of corporal punishment in Tennessee public schools because students are reported only one time, even though they may have been paddled numerous times throughout the year. The State of Tennessee Department of Education collects no information concerning the incidence of corporal punishment in Tennessee public schools. The Tennessee State Board of Education has not updated information regarding schools that do not use corporal punishment or available speakers on discipline alternatives since 1992.

Title: New Schools Exchange records 1968-1978 (inclusive) Quantity: 25 linear ft. Acknowledgements: Gift of the New Schools Exchange, 1978. Preferred Citation: New Schools Exchange Records. Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library. Summary: The records consist of publications, correspondence, writings, school directories, and other information documenting the New Schools Exchange specifically and the schools, individuals, and other organizations of the free school movement generally. The collection includes hundreds of files documenting individual schools in the United States, Canada, and abroad, as well as many ephemeral newsletters, journals, and other publications relating to alternative education. Biographical Overview: The New Schools Exchange (NSE) was formed at the First New Schools Conference in Menlo Park, California in March 1969. Led by Harvey Haber and located in Santa Barbara, California, NSE's mission was to provide a clearinghouse for resources and information relating to the free school movement. The Exchange collected information and published school directories and the New Schools Exchange Newsletter , a widely read publication within the alternative school network. Haber served as managing editor for the newsletter until the fall of 1971, when Kat Marin assumed these duties. In early 1973, Bill Harwood and Grace Dailey took on the bulk of NSE's duties and moved the organization to St. Paris, Ohio. In 1974, Harwood and Dailey moved the Exchange to Pettigrew, Arkansas where they integrated subsistence farming and communal living into the continuing educational work of the group. The New Schools Exchange published its final newsletter in 1978 and ceased operations due to financial shortcomings.

Extractions: Press Release "Congressman John Optimistic about Future of Charter Schools for Louisiana" (Washington, D.C.) President Clinton's announcement this past Saturday that the Louisiana Department of Education would be receiving $373,711.00 in the Public Charter Schools Program for 1997-1998 school year came as welcomed news this weekend to one charter school advocate. "With the new initiative to increase charter schools in our state, I see this funding as a measure of the success our 8 existing systems are having in educating our students and the great possibility to foster additional schools in Louisiana" commented U.S. Congressman John. "By empowering our communities with an alternative to traditional public education, parents and children can chart their own course to educational improvement if they are willing to participate. Furthermore, I am excited that the funds will enable seed money to be used for future schools to be established in our area." With the President's public charter schools program enacted in 1994, Louisiana established the Louisiana Charter Schools Initiative in 1995 to introduce new methods of governance for public schools. Under the charter system, schools are free of most state rules and regulations. The Louisiana Legislature recently approved a measure permitting 42 charter schools in the state's 66 public school districts. Currently, five community groups in Ouachita, East Baton Rouge, and St. Landry have expressed interest in starting a program for the 1998-1999 school session.

Extractions: Accrediting Agencies Not Recognized Under GAAP There are quite a few accrediting agencies that are not recognized under GAAP, the Generally Accepted Accrediting Practices, as described above. These agencies are not recognized by either the Council on Higher Education Accreditation in Washington or the U.S. Department of Education, nor by UNESCO or by the education departments or ministries of major countries. They range from a few sincere efforts that are working for recognition to many associations started by less-than-wonderful schools in order to accredit themselves. Following is a listing of many such accreditors that we have noticed over the years. New ones seem to be started every few weeks, so not every name you see will be listed here. If accreditation is important in a given situation, see the GAAP standards, above. Accreditation Association of Ametrican [sic] College [sic] and Universities Unrecognized agency from which the American University of Hawaii has claimed accreditation. Accrediting Commission for Specialized Colleges Gas City, Indiana. Established by "Bishop" Gordon Da Costa and associates (one of whom was Dr. George Reuter, who left to help establish the International Accrediting Commission, described in this section), from the address of Da Costa's Indiana Northern Graduate School (a dairy farm in Gas City). According to their literature, the accrediting procedures of ACSC seem superficial at best. The only requirement for becoming a candidate for accreditation was to mail in a check for $110.
Extractions: CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION PROGRAMS LOUISIANA EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (LEAP 21) REMEDIATION A summer remediation program is provided to students in grades 4 and 8 who have scored "Unsatisfactory" on the spring LEAP 21 test. The program is offered, prior to the summer retesting, at no cost to students who score "Unsatisfactory" on the English/language arts or the mathematics portions of the spring LEAP 21 tests. Students who enrolled after the testing dates or were absent during testing also are eligible to attend prior to taking the test for the first time in the summer. Transportation is provided to program sites throughout the parish. Remediation also is offered during the school year for students not meeting LEAP 21 requirements in any subject. These services may include placement in alternative learning settings, individual/small group tutoring, or other instructional options appropriate to the students' needs. LEAP 21 remediation on the high school campus for English/language arts and mathematics requires enrollment in a remedial course. Students in high school must pass the remedial course in order to enroll in an entry level class.
1995/1996 School-Based Health Centers - National Survey center programs in West Virginia, North Carolina and louisiana have contributed locatedin other types of schools, including alternative schools, K middle http://www.healthinschools.org/sbhcs/papers/96natlreport.asp
Extractions: (revised May 1, 1997) Data from Making the Grade's most recent survey of state initiatives to support school-based health centers (SBHCs) reveal that 900 centers provided care to children during the 1995-96 school year. This represents a fifty percent increase over the previous Making the Grade survey conducted two years earlier. State Support Remains Key State governments continue to provide substantial funding for the centers. During 1995-96, 34 states allocated $41.9 million in state and federal block grant funds to school-based health centers, an eight percent increase over 1994. Fifty-four percent of all school-based health centers received some state-directed funding. This means that for every two SBHCs, one is receiving some degree of state support. The portion of the center budgets supported by state-directed dollars varies greatly. Twelve states supported at least 75 percent of their centers and of those, four states supplied over 90 percent of the total funds needed to run those centers. Five states reported that fewer than half of their centers receive any state-directed funds, and ten states provided no state-directed funding at all.

Extractions: Getting America's Students Ready for the 21st Century: Meeting the Technology Literacy Challenge - June 1996 Frequently motivated by participation in the Goals 2000: Educate America Act , many states have placed technology at the center of their efforts to develop high standards for what students should know and be able to do. Without question, most states have made impressive contributions to upgrading their schools' technology base, but more must be done to realize the president's technology goals. Simply as an illustration of the magnitude, diversity, and scope of ongoing state efforts, the following table outlines current state support for technology in education. This table was developed in the spring of 1996 with the help of the Software Publishers Association. NOTE: This document includes Alabama through Louisiana. See Appendix C, Part 2 , for Maine through Wyoming. The Governor's Information Technology Commission was established by Governor James in October 1995. The purpose of the commission is to develop guidelines, policies, and equipment standards for information systems that will be followed by state executive agencies, public schools, and state education agencies. The state has put into place a scholarship program that pays partial tuition for teachers willing to take three technology courses as part of their master's degree program.
