Extractions: San Francisco Plantation St. John the Baptist Parish was the second permanent settlement in Louisiana and established in the early 1720's by a group of Germans, hence becoming known as "La Cote des Allemands" or "The German Coast". Led by Karl Frederic D'Arensbourg, a settlement was created on the west bank of the Mississippi River in the area now known as Lucy which was originally named Karistein. Some families also began farming land on the east bank, in what is now Garyville and Reserve. D'Arensbourg's grandson, Jacques Villere , was born at Lucy and became the second governor of the state of Louisiana. He was the first Creole (Louisiana born) person of pure European descent to hold that office. The area remained under the French regime until 1768, when France delivered Louisiana to the Spanish. At this time the Acadians or "Cajuns" began arriving in South Louisiana after being exiled from Nova Scotia. The first Acadian settlement was established at what is now called Wallace. The French and German cultures mixed, with French becoming the dominant language. German names were given French translations. Heidel became Haydel, Ruber became Oubre, Treagor - Tregre and so on... In these early years, transportation was by boat, some on the Mississippi River, which was treacherous, but mainly on the many bayous and lakes. Few roads existed. Observation posts were built along the river, and manned by women, who kept lookout for the few Native Americans that previously lived here.

Extractions: (all revenue sources) or years, the public has been frustrated by a lack of adequate attention to education in Louisiana. But this year, the state is moving forward with the first stage of a long-range accountability plan designed to improve low-achieving schools. Efforts to raise standards, improve teacher pay, and hold schools and districts more accountable for student achievement were fortified with nearly $200 million in additional funding in the $2.2 billion state education budget the legislature passed last year. "We are hopeful that there are a number of factors that will allow this program to continue and to allow Louisiana to show gains in student achievement," says Leslie R. Jacobs, the state board member who headed the state's accountability commission. "National trends [in setting standards and designing accountability measures] create the right climate for this set of reforms to be successful." The first round of testing under the new system will begin this spring when 4th and 8th graders take tests linked to the state's new content standards in English/language arts and mathematics. In the fall, the state's 1,100 elementary and middle schools will be scored on how they compare with state benchmarks on those tests.
Extractions: or other generalized assistance to parochial schools." Contact: Raanan Weintraub, (202) 387-2800 Todays U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Mitchell v. Helms deals a serious blow to both religion and the Constitution. In ruling that the State-through a public school district-can share equipment and instructional materials with private and parochial schools, the Court weakened Americas First Freedom: religious liberty. In approving direct government assistance to parochial schools of equipment they acknowledge can be used exclusively for religious instruction, the Supreme Court blasted a hole in the wall separating church and state. While such a breach is always dangerous, the impact may prove to be less than advocates of vouchers and charitable choice would hope for. Only four justices joined the plurality ruling. Two others found this aid of minimum consequence not requiring a constitutional determination-clearly analysis not applicable to vouchers or charitable choice. This decision will have tremendous impact on public and private schools throughout the country. It may set a new precedent for the approval of religious school vouchers and charitable choice aid to church-run social service programs by providing churches and church-run schools new access to the public treasury. But todays decision must be read together with last weeks decision in

Extractions: Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON In a potential watershed case involving aid to parochial schools, the US Supreme Court is considering whether providing government-funded computers to religious schools violates the separation of church and state. The case, set for oral argument Dec. 1, involves federal education block grants in Louisiana. But the court's decision will also apply to private religious schools nationwide, and will have a major impact on President Clinton's proposal to spend as much as $800 million to connect every classroom and school library in America to the Internet. On a broader level the case presents the nation's highest court with an opportunity to clarify the constitutional boundaries of church-state relations.

A major thrust is to provide health education to teachers and students on the importance of vaccinations as a disease prevention strategy. Also, the concern about hepatitis B vaccine is of particular importance. The process begins with a request from participating school boards for database information on intended fifth grader students. Inasmuch as the target population consists of approximately 9,000 students, this step is very important in preparation for entering consent/refusal information after the start of the school year. Oftentimes, this process can take the entire summer to achieve. The data managers generally want this information to be as accurate as possible, and in the format that we are requesting.

Extractions: U.S. Supreme Court Decisions On Catholic School Issues A series of US Supreme Court cases have impacted the way in which the federal government and states may provides services and benefits to parents and students in private and religious schools. 1925 - Pierce v. Society of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary This landmark decision over-turned an Oregon law that would have required all children to attend only the public schools. The decision affirmed the right of parents to choose the type of education they wanted for their children and also affirmed the right of the state to reasonably regulate private schools. The Court ruled that: The fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments in this Union repose excludes any general power of the state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. The child is not the mere creature of the state; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations.

(CNS file photo by Nancy Wiechec) Library, Computer Aid to Parochial Schools Upheld WASHINGTON (CNS) In what was quickly hailed as a landmark ruling for school choice, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld use of federal funds to help supply computer hardware and software and library and media materials to religiously affiliated schools. By a 63 decision June 28 the court reversed the judgment of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had said it was unconstitutional to include religious schools among the private schools receiving such aid in Jefferson Parish, La. The case is titled Mitchell vs. Helms. Four of the sixjustice majority proposed what in effect would be a new, simpler neutrality test for the constitutionality of public aid to private schools. Two justices agreed that the Louisiana aid was constitutional but sharply opposed the other four's view of how the court should test such cases. The three dissenters also opposed revising the neutrality test.
