Extractions: It may be inconceivable to you that your homebased consulting service or handknit sweater business would have to comply with any of the numerous local, state and federal regulations, but in all likelihood it will. Avoid the temptation to ignore regulatory details. Doing so may avert some red tape in the short term, but could be an obstacle as your business grows. Taking the time to research the applicable regulations is as important as knowing your market. Below is a checklist of the most common requirements that affect small businesses, but it is by no means exhaustive. Bear in mind that regulations vary by industry. If you're in the food service business, for example, you will have to deal with the health department. If you use chemical solvents, you will have environmental compliance to meet. Carefully investigate the regulations that affect your industry. Being out of compliance could leave you unprotected legally, lead to expensive penalties, and jeopardize your business. Business Licenses There are many types of licenses. You need one to operate legally almost everywhere. If the business is located within an incorporated city limits, a license must be obtained from the city; if outside the city limits, then from the county. For more information contact the county or city office in your area or try these

Extractions: charter grants for 22 new schools State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster announced $5.4 million in federal charter school grants that will support planning for new charter schools and operations in schools that are in the first years of their charters. "Wisconsin's charter school law encourages school innovation to meet the special needs and interests of communities, parents, and students," Burmaster said. "Charter schools employ a variety of means to serve their communities including creativity in curriculum, teaching, and classroom structure." Charter schools are public schools, not subject to many state regulations. They operate under a contract, which typically includes provisions for measurable improvement in student achievement. Charter schools must employ licensed teachers, administer statewide tests, and comply with federal regulations that govern schools. Wisconsin received $8.7 million of the $198 million in federal funding allocated to charter schools for the 2002-03 fiscal year, which started Oct. 1. Over the three years of the grant, Wisconsin stands to receive $26.9 million. Additional grants that await clarification and dissemination grants will be awarded later.
Sped by the Hawai`i Department of Education to comply with federal regulations on attendingto the needs of the special education population. The state of Hawai`i http://rrsc.k12.hi.us/sped/sped.htm
Extractions: The Felix Consent Decree, has initiated a huge effort by the Hawai`i Department of Education to comply with federal regulations on attending to the needs of the special education population. The State of Hawai`i has been working very diligently to gain full compliance with this decree. In the process, it has dedicated much of its funding to acquire the special education resources and personnel. In the movement towards full compliance with the Felix Consent Decree, many winners are emerging. Students with special needs are the obvious beneficiaries as they receive appropriate services. Teachers of general education classes are getting relief from having to devote a massive amount of their time to students with special needs. The general education students also benefit from having more attention from their instructors. Ofcourse, another fortunate group is the special education service providers who now have many job opportunities . There are also state funded programs for professional development, in the special education field.
