Extractions: [We the People... Hearings] ... [Research and Evaluation] Introduction The primary goal of We the People... The Citizen and the Constitution is to promote civic competence and responsibility among the nations elementary and secondary students. What makes the program so successful is the design of its instructional program, including its innovative culminating activity. The instructional program enhances students understanding of the institutions of American constitutional democracy. At the same time, students discover the contemporary relevance of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The culminating activity is a simulated congressional hearing in which students "testify" before a panel of judges. Students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles and have opportunities to evaluate, take, and defend positions on relevant historical and contemporary issues. Since the inception of the We the People...
Extractions: Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative Fattah: On behalf of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Education Task Force, we urge the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia to exclude any provision related to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act from the Fiscal 2002 appropriations bill for the District of Columbia. CCD is a coalition of approximately 100 national disability organizations working together to advocate for national public policy that ensures the self determination, independence, empowerment, integration and inclusion of children and adults with disabilities in all aspects of society. Children with disabilities in the District of Columbia are entitled to the services and supports set forth in IDEA. Moreover, IDEA was enacted, in part, to address specifically the right to an education for children with disabilities residing in the District of Columbia. One of the two significant federal court cases, Mills vs. Board of Education of the District of Columbia, led to the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1975. As such, children with disabilities living in the District of Columbia hold a unique place in the history of this landmark civil rights legislation. Their rights must not be altered in the Fiscal 2002 appropriations bill.

Visit To The District Of Columbia's Charter Schools The district of columbia Public Schools Jack McCarthy Managing Director AppleTreeInstitute for education Innovation 401 M Street, SW, 2 nd Floor Washington http://www.aypf.org/tripreports/1999/tr051799.htm
Extractions: Community Academy Public Charter School The first school visited was The Community Academy Public Charter in Northwest, DC, with Fonda Sutton, the school’s director and Kent Amos, founder of The Urban Family Institute and driving force behind the Academy. Amos gave the philosophical background for the school’s creation, which comes from his experience with the violence and crime that claimed the lives of several of the children who he has mentored and taken into his family. Amos is committed to "creating a world where children plan for college, not for funerals." In his charter school, children are respected for their abilities, helped with special needs and encouraged to achieve. According to Amos, the school has to look at the substantive difference between how they educate a child and how they prepare him/her to be a citizen in their community. The Community Academy is a neighborhood-based, multiple campus charter that offers primary through secondary education. Next year they will add another site in another location within the city. Currently a Pre K-7 grade school, the Academy is preparing to accept classes of students that will bring enrollment to 4,000, up to grade twelve. A nine-member board of community members monitors the school. The school seeks to offer children a ‘nurturing village’ experience by including social services and education to family members. Sponsors of the Academy hope to create a neighborhood in which "families have the resources necessary to realize their potential, individually and collectively." This goal, they believe will best allow a child to reach his/her full potential and become a responsible adult who actively pursues lifelong learning opportunities.

Extractions: Welcome! If you'd like to "change the climate" around marijuana to keep your kids safe from hard drugs, to save thousands of your tax dollars, and to stop the senseless arrest of millions, then support Change the Climate. It's a campaign, founded by parents and business professionals, to educate the public about the tremendous waste of our tax dollars for the "war on marijuana" and the increasing threat to our basic civil liberties. Our goal is to tell the truth about marijuana to de-demonize it so that someday, politicians will support marijuana reform legislation. Support us now and help us tell the truth. Like other drugs, marijuana is NOT for kids. But providing inaccurate information about marijuana in the form of "shock ads" only discredits adults and our efforts to curb marijuana use by young people. Click here for ideas on how to talk to your kids about marijuana. Change the Climate's advertising campaign is an effective way to change attitudes and bring marijuana reform directly to the people billboards and banner ads reach different people than NY Times and New Republic ads. Politicians will NOT make any effort to change unjust, wasteful and unconstitutional marijuana laws until it's clear that people are fed up with these laws. Since 1996, medical marijuana initiatives have been passed by a majority of voters in eight states and the District of Columbia and no state has ever rejected a medical marijuana initiative. Currently, one in five voters in the U.S. lives in a state where marijuana is legal for medicinal purposes.

Extractions: Website: www.cce-usa.org Special Message An Open Letter to the Profession, November 8, 2002 Open Letter.PDF Special Report Updated Commentary on the Lawsuit Filed by Life University On Monday, February 10, 2003, a federal district court in Atlanta, Georgia, issued a preliminary, i.e. temporary, injunction ordering the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) to return the Life University Doctor of Chiropractic program to the accreditation status it held prior to the CCE Commission on Accreditation (COA) June 2002 decision to deny Life reaffirmation of accreditation. As a result of this court order, Life's status again is that of an accredited program on probation, with a COA decision still to be made on whether its accreditation should be reaffirmed. The court's order was issued in response to a motion for a preliminary injunction by Life in a lawsuit it had filed to challenge the decision to deny Life reaffirmation of accreditation. A preliminary injunction does not represent a final decision by the court that the accreditation decision was unlawful; the lawsuit remains pending. Contrary to some reports in the media, no dates have been set for trial or preparation for trial. Media reports that the court has directed or encouraged settlement discussions are incorrect; the court has said nothing about settlement.
