Extractions: Charter schools have become a popular alternative for parents dissatisfied with the education their children receive in public schools. They often are run by private groups using tax money, and they attract many students failing in public school systems. More than 2,400 charter schools have opened in the United States since 1992.
Extractions: A bill that Delegate John L. Leopold, Anne Arundel County Republican, sponsored has passed the House for the past two years and is likely to be approved again this year. Moreover, a bill that Sen. Roy P. Dyson, Calvert County Democrat, sponsored advanced in the Senate on Friday without amendment. Versions of the Leopold and Dyson bills have passed the House and Senate in the past few years but have not emerged out of conference committees. Now that the state has a governor who supports charters, backers of the bill say they are more hopeful a charter-school-enabling law will be enacted.

Each year, 120 pages and 36 alternates are selected from across the State to represent their schools and counties in Annapolis.

Extractions: Quick Links: Introduction Dances and Styles Informative Files My Dancing (separate page), Ballroom At Maryland Schools, Studios, and Organizations Other Links Welcome to my page on ballroom dancing. I've been dancing for a while now and I figured that it's about time I made up my own page devoted solely to the one form of dancing that I enjoy. You'll find various things here including links to other pages, any good information I can find, stuff I feel like putting up here for my own information so that I know where it is and don't lose it, and anything else ballroom related that I want to put here. I have a separate page for information about my ballroom dancing , both socially and competitively, in case you're interested. Hopefully you'll find at least some of the information and links here useful. There are two main styles of ballroom dancing American and International. American style is danced primarily in, you guessed it, America. :) It's also not as standardized as International style, which is danced just about everywhere else in the world (and in the US, too). Here in the US where I am, American style tends to be used more often for social dancing while International style tends to be used primarily in competitions. This doesn't mean that you can't compete in American style or dance International style socially. Personally, I prefer International style and dance it socially all the time. :) People will dance either American or International style socially, as they choose, and competitions normally include both styles as well, so it's good to know both styles (at least in the US).

Extractions: by Pat Melville The Archives' collection of government publications, printed materials from state and local government agencies, contains many reports concerning education in Maryland. For the period of 1829 through 1862 the reports fall into three categories - annual reports of the Baltimore City Commissioners of Public Schools, financial reports from the State Treasurer or Comptroller, and reports from legislative education committees. The financial reports are basic documents showing the sources of income for the school funds and the distributions to the individual counties and specific academies throughout the state. In 1842, for example, the levy on banks and an insurance company yielded $26,419.80 for the free school fund. Baltimore County received $660.49 and Baltimore City $660.50. Each of the other counties was given $1,320.99. Another committee in 1843 analyzed the education system and prepared draft legislation that was not adopted. The committee criticized the distribution of the fund for academies, colleges, and schools which provided $3,000 to St. John's College in Annapolis and $800 to each of the counties for redistribution to academies. St. Mary's and Charles counties had agreed to direct their shares to the academy at Charlotte Hall. The committee viewed the academy funds in the other counties as insufficient and wasted because the moneys were divided among so many individual academies. "These institutions having but little aid other than this pittance, are for the most part, unable to render any extended or substantial service to the community in which they are located...."

Filed last month by Delegate Kevin Kelly (D-Allegany), the bill formerly known by many MSTA members as "Livers" entered the General Assembly this year with a new title—HB 451, the Non-Certificated Public School Employees/Negotiations Bill.
