Extractions: Gerald N. Tirozzi, Executive Director, NASSP Recently, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Cleveland, Ohio school vouchers program-allowing parents to use public tax dollars to send their children to religious and private schools. Under this program, 82 percent of the schools participating were religiously affiliated, and 96 percent of the students who participated attended religious schools. While private and parochial schools provide a necessary alternative to our nation's public schools, it is important to point out that these schools are not required to meet public school accountability standards nor is there any scrutiny as to how public funds are utilized. Also, children who attend voucher schools may find themselves deprived of such basic constitutional rights such as equal protection, due process, and freedom of religion and expression. A Disconnect To many, the idea of vouchers may sound good initially but is quickly deflated when carefully analyzed. Every state, given the choice to vote on vouchers and the opportunity to study the issue on state ballot initiatives, has overwhelmingly voted it downcontinually rejecting voucher proposals in state after state for the past 30 years.
The Progressive Conservative, An Online Journal, IV-96 VOUCHERS IN ohio THE MONEY LEFT BEHIND. By Vin Suprynowicz. Americans favor taxfundedschool vouchers to help send children to private or parochial schools by http://www.poliedu.net/PCVol4Is96SchVouchers.shtml
Extractions: Americans favor tax-funded school vouchers to help send children to private or parochial schools by a 51 to 40 margin, according to a poll conducted for the Associated Press by International Communications Research of Media, Pennsylvania. However, that support shifts to a hefty 2 ti 1 opposition to voucher programs when the same 1,011 respondents are asked "if they still support the idea if it takes money from public schools," the poll-takers reported this week. It's disappointing that many Americans haven't thought this issue through, But this "push" question, which evokes the image of run-down public schools drained of their resources by fleeing "voucher kids," is also seriously misleading. In 1995, at the time the Cleveland, Ohio, voucher program was launched, the city's public schools were failing dismally, despite public spending of $6,195 per pupil, not counting debt service on the school buildings. (The dropout rate was more than twice the state average; only 9 percent of Cleveland ninth graders could pass the basic proficiency test; and students were statistically more likely to become victims of crime than to graduate on time with basic proficiency, according to the Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ohio's Ashland University..) Endorsing the 6-year-old pilot program in inner-city Cleveland, which now allows parents to opt out of one of the worst-rated public school systems in the nation, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in late June that voucher programs like Cleveland's are constitutional if they provide parents a choice among a range of religious and secular schools.

D.A.R.E. Program Page officer in 1993 and conducted classes in eight public schools and two parochial schools. bythe citizens of Elyria and a grant from the ohio Attorney General's http://www.elyriapolice.org/dare_prog.html
Extractions: The Attorney General for the State of Ohio, the Ohio Association of Police, and the Ohio Department of Education have combined resources to bring D.A.R.E. to Ohio to prevent drug abuse by school age youth. D.A.R.E. is a kindergarten through eighth grade curriculum, with a primary emphasis in the fifth and sixth grades, just before the children are most likely to begin experimenting with drugs or/and alcohol. The lessons focus on techniques for resisting peer pressure, making decisions and problem solving; students are also challenged to consider the consequences for their actions and to consider healthy alternatives to drug use. In November of 1990, the Elyria Police Department made a commitment to D.A.R.E. and the Elyria City School System by having Officer Rick Valentik complete 40 hours of D.A.R.E. training. Officer Valentik presented the first D.A.R.E. class in the Elyria City Schools in November of 1990 and March of 1991. Beginning in March of 1991 until June 1991, D.A.R.E. was presented to six Elyria Schools and two parochial schools. Officer Rick Valentik presented the D.A.R.E. curriculum until May of 1993 when Officer George E. Wakeman was assigned to the position. He was trained as a D.A.R.E. officer in 1993 and conducted classes in eight public schools and two parochial schools. In April of 1994, Officer Bob Brandal was trained as a second D.A.R.E. officer and began teaching in September of 1994. In the fall of 1996, Officer Wandra Ward was trained as a third D.A.R.E. Officer and began teaching in January of 1997. The D.A.R.E. program is currently maintained by Officer Bob Brandal.

Extractions: Does the Constitution expect poor children be condemned to lousy government schools? http://www.jewishworldreview.com THE US COURT OF APPEALS for the Sixth Circuit has been giving the First Amendment's Establishment Clause quite a workout. In April, it ruled that the motto of the state of Ohio - ''With G-d All Things Are Possible'' - amounted to ''an endorsement of the Christian religion'' and was therefore unconstitutional. Now comes an even more unfathomable decision. On Monday, the court held that Ohio's school voucher program, which was designed to rescue poor children struck in Cleveland's blighted public schools, is also in violation of the First Amendment. The April decision was odd - don't all religions teach that with G-d all things are possible? - but it was at least true that Ohio's motto expressed a religious idea. The Cleveland vouchers, by contrast, are neither pro- nor anti-religion. Children qualifying for financial help, most of them from homes subsisting at or below the poverty line, are free to attend any school that chooses to participate - public, private, or parochial. The statute creating the vouchers is neutral on the subject of religion; indeed, it bars participating schools from applying a religious test for admission. As it happens, 82 percent of the schools that have agreed to accept students with vouchers are church-affiliated, and they ended up enrolling nearly all of the 3,800 students involved - evidence, the court suggests, that the vouchers were just a scheme to funnel government money to religious institutions.

Extractions: Ohio County Schools Ohio County offers its residents a nationally recognized school system. The elementary school system allows students to spend the first important years at a school near their homes or neighborhoods. During the 1990s, a multi-million dollar development program built or renovated every school in the system. Ohio County taxpayers have traditionally given their overwhelming support to educational levies, placing Ohio County among the top counties in West Virginia in per capita spending for education. Such support is evident in that six schools in Ohio County have been designated National Schools of Excellence. This unprecedented degree of recognition has come to Wheeling Park High School, Bridge Street Middle School, Triadelphia Middle School, Wheeling Middle School, Elm Grove Elementary and Madison Elementary. West Virginia Schools of Excellence recognition has also been awarded to all 14 schools in the Ohio County system. Ohio County is the only county in West Virginia to have 100 percent of its schools so named.

Extractions: by Jaylynne Hutchinson T he issues involved in proposals for educational vouchers are complex and sometimes contradictory. For purposes of this dialogue, we will look at only one aspect of the debate: whether public monies should be used to support private religious school in the name of parental choice. Recently, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that using vouchers in this manner did not violate the separation of church and state. Falling back upon a narrow interpretation of the First Amendment's prohibition against the state "establishment of religion," the court ruled that vouchers could be used for parochial schools if the funds were distributed with "neutral, secular criteria that neither favor nor disfavor religion." Such a ruling is dangerous and controversial. While the court made this a procedural point, it did not address the substantive implications of its ruling. most of us do not address the substantive implications of its ruling. Most of us do not worry about children attending Catholic schools or Jewish schools, for example. Many are successful models of education. Our comfort with these private choices should not be taken as our assent that public monies should be used to fund a religiously based school. We allow parents the freedom to send their children to private parochial schools because they are not asking to use our money to do so. Using monies collected from citizens of a variety of religious or non religious stripes is a different question.

CER News Alert: CER Files Amicus Brief In Ohio Choice Case Cleveland families to allow them to send their children to private and parochialschools of their choice, is being challenged by the ohio Education Association http://edreform.com/press/amicus.htm
Extractions: In Ohio School Choice Case (May 15, 1996) Jeanne Allen, founder and president of the Center for Education Reform, today announced the Center has filed an Amicus Brief with the Franklin County, Ohio Common Pleas Court in support of the Cleveland school choice program. "This is an important case, for underprivileged families in Cleveland specifically, and for countless other families who have no choice save for often-failing schools," Allen said. "The Center's Amicus Brief is a way of supporting, in practice and theory, the advantages of school choice for poor children. "We are delighted to have among the amici such prominent institutions as the National Federation of Independent Business, The Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association, the Minnesota Business Partnership and a dozen other interest groups and individuals. It shows just how broad the support for choice has become," Allen said. The Ohio Pilot Project Scholarship Program (PPSP), which would provide publicly funded assistance to low-income Cleveland families to allow them to send their children to private and parochial schools of their choice, is being challenged by the Ohio Education Association (the labor union that represents Ohio's teachers) and by the American and Ohio Civil Liberties Unions. The Washington DC-based Institute for Justice is representing the defendants in the case.
