Extractions: Education Tax Credit Initiative by E. G. West E. G. West is a professor of economics at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada and the author of numerous works on the economics of education. Among his books are Non-Public School Aid: The Law, Economics and Politics of American Education; The Political Economy of American Public School Legislation; Education and the State: A Study in Political Economy; and The Economics of Education Tax Credits. Executive Summary On October 13, 1981, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ordered the city's elections board to place an educational tax credit initiative on the November 3rd ballot. This action cleared the way for a referendum that could establish the first such program in any American city. For the first time in the twentieth century all families would be given the effective freedom to choose schools for their children. This is a privilege that has been enjoyed before only by those families that can afford to "pay twice" for schooling, once through their conventional tax payments, and once through the direct tuition charge at a private school. One out of every seven students currently going to District schools goes to a private establishment. A tax credit would result in a larger proportion, and its benefits would reach all income and ethnic groups. Of course, some individuals the lowest income groups are already in private schools, especially in those that are religiously affiliated. Table 1 shows the number of students enrolled in nonpublic schools in the District of Columbia in 1981.

Extractions: Antitrust Bankruptcy Civil Rights Consumer Protection ... Tobacco Settlement Documents Attorneys General from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia Corporation Counsel reached a settlement with Ford Motor Company, resolving allegations that the company misled consumers about the safety of its sport utility vehicles. As part of the settlement, Ford will fund a $30 million consumer education campaign on SUV risks and safety tips. The Attorneys General asserted that Ford failed to warn drivers of the risk of tire failure on some Ford SUVs and used deceptive advertising to sell SUVs and tires. The states contend that Ford continued to equip its SUVs with Firestone ATX and Wilderness AT tires, even after the company knew that the tires had an unacceptably high failure rate and often caused roll-over accidents. Ford also was accused of running ads that exaggerate the safe loading capacity and maneuverability of its SUVs and the quality of aftermarket tires sold by its "Around the Wheel" program. Ford denied the allegations. The states will use $30 million from Ford to mount a nationwide public service consumer education campaign on SUV safety. The remainder will go to the states for their costs of investigation and for litigation and consumer education. The settlement does not include consumer restitution because Ford already has spent $2 billion to replace tires in the 53 jurisdictions.

Extractions: SEEP: Special Education Expenditure Project: Sample Selection Plan The nationally representative study sample will collect information about the implementation of special education programs in all of the states and in school districts and schools within those states. The Common Core of Data (CCD) Surveys will serve as the sampling frame for the selection of LEAs (school districts) and schools. This frame will be updated with information provided by contractors working on ongoing U.S. Department of Education sponsored research efforts. This additional information will include lists of state schools for special education students (e.g., schools serving students with severe hearing and visual impairments) and lists of agencies that serve primarily or exclusively special education students (e.g., county offices of education, intermediate educational units, and other regional cooperative agencies). A tabular form of the Sample Selection Plan can be found in Appendix 1. State. For each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, existing documents and materials will be collected on the use of state and federal special education funds (IDEA) at the state level and suballocations of state and federal special education funds to school districts and other agencies. District Sample. A sample of 250 LEAs (school districts) will be selected randomly, with a school district's probability of selection proportional to the number of students enrolled in the district. Fifty of these 250 LEAs will be selected from a stratum of agencies that serve special education students primarily or exclusively (including cooperatives and intermediate educational units [IEUs]); the remaining 200 LEAs will be "regular" LEAs. The district sample will be nationally representative of all school districts and will be stratified to insure the inclusion of LEAs from every state and the District of Columbia.

Extractions: Click for Advanced Search Information about PAs and the PA Profession General Information PA Education Scope of Practice Physicians and PAs ... PA Organizations General Information Q. What is a Physician Assistant (PA)? A. Physician assistants are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. PAs employed by the federal government are credentialed to practice. As part of their comprehensive responsibilities, PAs conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, assist in surgery, and in most states can write prescriptions. PAs are trained in intensive education programs accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) Because of the close working relationship the PAs have with physicians, PAs are educated in the medical model designed to complement physician training. Upon graduation, physician assistants take a national certification examination developed by the National Commission on Certification of PAs in conjunction with the National Board of Medical Examiners. To maintain their national certification, PAs must log 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and sit for a recertification every six years. Graduation from an accredited physician assistant program and passage of the national certifying exam are required for state licensure.
