Extractions: Business and Professional Licensing Administration The DC Board of Real Estate is housed in the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA), Business and Professional Licensing Administration. The Board regulates the licenses of professional real estate agents and protects consumers by upholding the DC real estate license law. The real estate license law is defined by the District of Columbia Second Omnibus Regulatory Act of 1998 (Omnibus), which took effect on April 20, 1999. The Board has established pre-licensing education requirements, as well as continuing education requirements that enhance the professional abilities of agents. Once agents adequately meet pre-licensing requirements, the Board examines potential licensees through established and standardized tests. Every two years, licensees are required to meet mandated continuing education requirements, which ensure that they are kept abreast of current national and local laws. The Board also works with other consumer regulatory divisions within the department to investigate consumer complaints. The Mayor, with the consent of the Council of the District of Columbia, appoints a nine-member board; appointees are selected based on their experience, abilities, and interest in serving the public. This decision-making body performs its appointed duties according to the administrative procedures set by the DC Municipal Regulations (DCMR). The Board consists of industry and consumer members.

IFAP - Dear Partner, Colleague Letters The US district Court for the district of columbia upheld the Appeals Decision TheCourt of Appeals found that section 437(c) of the Higher education Act of http://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/doc0684_bodyoftext.htm
Extractions: Summary: This letter is to inform you of a recent court decision and resulting Department policy change that affects the Department's implementation of the "employment attempt" provisions in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program false certification - ability-to-benefit discharge (false certification discharge) regulations. On November 16, 1999, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Court of Appeals), in Jordan v. Riley , ruled invalid the employment attempt provisions in the false certification discharge regulations, finding that the relevant statute did not authorize such provisions. As explained more fully below, the Department has decided to extend the Court's ruling to all borrowers and no longer consider the borrower's employment attempts in resolving false certification discharge claims. In Jordan v. Riley , a FFEL borrower who claimed that her ability-to-benefit was falsely certified by the school was denied a false certification discharge because she completed the school's program but failed to make a reasonable attempt to obtain employment. The borrower sued the Department, challenging the employment attempt requirements in the regulations that were the basis for her denial. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia upheld the Department's regulations; the borrower appealed to the Court of Appeals.

Extractions: For and About Members Help for Parents Press Center Legislative Action Center ... Vouchers Updated: Mar 27, 2003 Research NEA Resources Other Resources NEA policy embraces high standards, accountability and strong local control for charter schools. It also offers guidance in the form of various criteria that can significantly improve the chances for success of these programs, which after 10 years are still in the experimental stage. Among other things, NEA firmly believes that all affected public education employees must be directly involved in the design, implementation and governance of these and other educational programs. Charter schools are part of the landscape of public education. According to the Education Commission of the States, as of August 2001 there were more than 2,300 public charter schools serving more than 500,000 students nationwide. The Commission reported that 37 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have laws providing funding and permitting charter schools to operate. However, many of those statutes are being revisited and revised in light of a number of charter school failures, some with disastrous consequences for students. NEA's position on charter schools is necessarily general. State laws and regulations vary widely, and NEA state affiliates have positions that are appropriate to the situation in their states. For example, accountability for meeting high academic standards is an essential component of successful charter schools. But not all state charter laws have strong accountability requirements. In addition, not all state laws require charter schools to develop programs conforming with state or local academic standards, and many charter laws do not require charters to participate in the state accountability system.
Extractions: Daniel J. DeNoon, Senior Editor Repeal laws and regulations restricting the sale of sterile syringes and needles, medical ethicists recommend. Sterile syringes would greatly reduce the spread of blood- borne diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis , and malaria, argue authors Lawrence O. Gostin and Kathleen Flaherty of the Georgetown/Johns Hopkins Program in Law and Public Health, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland; Zita Lazzarini of the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts; and T. Stephen Jones of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia. "Reducing the risk of disease transmission among IDUs [injection drug users] constitutes a legitimate medical and public health rationale for increasing access to syringes," Gostin et al. wrote in their analysis of U.S. regulation of syringes and needles. Their article appeared in The Journal of the American Medical Association ("Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Other Blood- Borne Diseases Among Injection Drug Users," JAMA 1997 Jan 1;277(1):53-62
