Extractions: be moved from her present mooring? When USS Missouri was brought here and moored to a pier at Ford Island close to the Arizona Memorial, that was to have been a temporary berth until a permanent site could be built. Now it appears that Missouri may be kept where she is or moved only a short distance away. The preference in this corner is that Missouri remain in place or be moved to a spot within sight of the Arizona Memorial. In addition, the two memorials should be integrated into a grand national monument by the National Park Service, the Missouri Memorial Association and the United States Navy. The park service administers the Arizona Memorial; the Missouri association is a private, nonprofit group; and the Navy supports them both. A combined Arizona-Missouri memorial could be arranged with relative ease, even with bureaucratic obstacles to be overcome. It would begin with a revision of the movie shown at the Arizona visitor's center that depicts the Japanese surprise attack on Dec. 7, 1941. The narrative would move swiftly from that day through a summary of the war in the Pacific and end with the ceremony in which the Japanese surrendered aboard Missouri at anchor in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945. Then visitors would be taken by a Navy shuttle boat, as now, across the harbor to the graceful white bridge spanning the sunken Arizona. After that, they would again board the shuttle boat to go directly to Missouri. When that tour was finished, the shuttle boat would return to the visitor's center. This journey would eliminate the present cumbersome bus ride from the visitor's center around to Ford Island.

English Only Legislation -- Arizona CONSEQUENCE, THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH special INDIVIDUAL needs ONCE EACH YEAR TO ALLARIZONA PUBLIC SCHOOLCHILDREN CLASSIFIED AS SEVERELY LEARNING disabled MAY BE http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JWCRAWFORD/echar.htm
Extractions: English Language Education for Children in Public Schools Summary: Requires that all public school instruction be conducted in English. Children not fluent in English shall normally be placed in an intensive one-year English immersion program to teach them the language as quickly as possible while also learning academic subjects. Parents may request a waiver of these requirements for children who already know English, are ten years or older, or have special needs best suited to a different educational approach. Normal foreign language programs are completely unaffected. Enforcement lawsuits by parents and guardians are permitted. Text: Sec. 1. Findings and Declarations The People of Arizona find and declare: The English language is the national public language of the United States of America and of the state of Arizona. It is spoken by the vast majority of Arizona residents, and is also the leading world language for science, technology, and international business, thereby being the language of economic opportunity; and Immigrant parents are eager to have their children acquire a good knowledge of English, thereby allowing them to fully participate in the American Dream of economic and social advancement; and
Bilingual Education -- Arizona And California The existence of such special individual needs shall not once each year to all Arizonapublic schoolchildren in classified as severely learning disabled may be http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JWCRAWFORD/203-227.htm
Extractions: California and Arizona Ron Unz, sponsor of the "English for the Children" initiatives, seems to have learned from his mistakes in California. Proposition 227 was amateurishly drafted, leaving far more flexibility than he intended. With Arizona's Proposition 203 , he hopes to tighten the screws. In 1998-99, the first year of Proposition 227, the California State Board of Education provided minimal guidance on how to interpret Proposition 227. So the law's implementation varied widely. Its vagueness featuring terms like "special educational needs" and "overwhelmingly in English" gave school districts plenty of leeway, and many took advantage of it. For example, some decided that limited English proficiency in itself was a "special" need. Others reasoned that, since Unz called his 61 percent victory on election day "overwhelming," a program that was taught 61 percent of the time in English should meet the law's requirements. Relying on these and other loopholes, numerous districts continued to offer a range of educational options, from bilingual to English-only instruction, and they allowed parents to choose freely among them. By year two, the legal picture began to clear.

Extractions: Arizona's state government networks are run over leased lines but operated by the state. All state government agencies are currently being surveyed about their information and telecommunications infrastructure needs. This joint effort of the Department of Administration, the new Telecommunication Policy Office, and the state's total quality management managers will produce a plan to integrate the state's networks into one shared backbone, and decide how to contract for telecommunications services in a way that reduces redundancy and gets the state "out of the telecommunications business," according to one participant. In addition, the director of the Telecommunications Policy Office and the state's chief information officer are working closely to develop an action plan for Arizona's information infrastructure. The legislature's Arizona Corporation Commission has rules pending that will establish a formal Arizona Universal Service Fund. If approval is granted, Arizona will join some 16 other states with similar programs. The Governor's Commission for the Study of the Telecommunications and Information Industry in Arizona was created by Executive Order 94-12, issued in July 1994. The commission consisted of representatives of the governor's office, the departments of administration and commerce, the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Arizona State Public Information Network, and the state economic development agency. In March 1995 the commission published its final report

Extractions: Search Phone Search Keywords Calendar Maps Four-year-old Veronica was paying attention the day a speaker from the Fire Department talked to her Head Start class about what to do in case of fire. The firefighter carefully explained that if the children ever smelled smoke at night, they should crawl along the ground, wake an adult and call 911. Several weeks later, Veronica woke up and noticed smoke coming into her home from the garage. Recalling the firefighters words, she crawled along the floor into her grandfathers room. She awoke him and he started to jump up, but Veronica reminded him that they should crawl along the floor. They woke her mother and all three crawled to safety. Although the home was gutted by the fire, the family is alive and well thanks to Veronicas quick thinking. The Education Division has two major programs: Head Start and School-Based. The mission of Head Start is to promote self-sufficiency by providing quality, comprehensive child and family development services. The city of Phoenix serves about 3,000 low-income children each year. The program has about 450 employees, including both city employees and those who work for Head Starts 14 delegate agencies. Head Starts dedication to racial, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity is reflected in its employees, who represent the rich heritage of Arizona. Head Start provides services in education, health, nutrition, parent involvement, social services and mental health. At least 10 percent of all openings are reserved for children with disabilities. Typically, at least 13 percent of the children in the program are disabled or have other special needs.

Charter schools receive freedom and autonomy in exchange for improvements in learning and climate. Are charter schools indeed accountable to their constituencies: students, their parents, and the taxpaying public at large? This paper looks at the issue of accountability in three broad categories: student learning; equity concerns, and public accountability. In each category, the goal is to raise points that can, in the long run, lead to the weakening of this experiment. Policymakers owe it to students, their parents, educators and the public to ensure that charter laws and the oversight of charter implementation will lead to strong performance and equitable outcomes for all involved.
