Extractions: Standards Definition The basic charter school concept is encompassed in the idea of " autonomy for accountability ". Charter schools are public schools of choice that are granted a specific amount of autonomy (determined by state law and the local charter) to make decisions concerning the structure, curriculum, and educational emphasis of the school. In return for this autonomy, charter schools are held accountable for the academic achievement of the students in the charter school, and the school faces suspension or closure if accepted performance standards are not met. The charter school typically receives between 85 percent to 95 percent of the public school funds for each student enrolled. Most charter schools are newly established schools, but some are conversion schools-those that previously existed as either public or private schools. Charter schools are as likely to have minority enrollments as other public schools. Charter schools do tend to be smaller than other public schools. Other than these similarities, there are few other generalizations that can be made about charter schools. The variety of curriculum focus is extensive-the sky does not limit the creative endeavors of charter school developers and operators. History of Charter Schools Minnesota was the first state to establish legislation allowing for the creation of charter schools in 1991. Since then, 34 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia have enacted some variation of charter school legislation. As of September 1998 there are more than 1200 charter schools that exist in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Coalition partners will participate in four workgroups. The Workgroup on Health Professions Education (with Subcommittees on Professional Preparation and Continuing Education) will create: (1) model interdisciplinary training programs for health professions students (in medicine, nursing, social work, and pastoral care); (2) offer continuing education for acute and long-term care clinicians (physicians, nurses, social workers, clergy, administrators); (3) collaborate with state regulatory agencies to encourage or mandate training; and (4) evaluate changes in knowledge, skill and institutional policies. The Finance Workgroup will examine state laws and policy that impact the financing of end-of-life care and actively promote revisions to enhance reimbursement for palliative services. This group will also develop an innovative and comprehensive end-of-life benefits package for state regulated insurance plans including managed care and Medicaid.

Program teaches parents signs of substance abuse Spring is the season of expectation, embodied as much as anything by the approaching high school graduations and proms. But the season has also become a time of foreboding, bringing a sense that some of the futures we see just awakening in our schools will in a bout of drinking be gone. The theme of this April’s Alcohol Awareness Month, "Give Children a Chance – End Underage Drinking," confronts the fact of alcohol’s influence over so many young lives – it remains the drug of choice among adolescents – and challenges us to put a stop to it.
