Title: New Schools Exchange records 1968-1978 (inclusive) Quantity: 25 linear ft. Acknowledgements: Gift of the New Schools Exchange, 1978. Preferred Citation: New Schools Exchange Records. Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library. Summary: The records consist of publications, correspondence, writings, school directories, and other information documenting the New Schools Exchange specifically and the schools, individuals, and other organizations of the free school movement generally. The collection includes hundreds of files documenting individual schools in the United States, Canada, and abroad, as well as many ephemeral newsletters, journals, and other publications relating to alternative education. Biographical Overview: The New Schools Exchange (NSE) was formed at the First New Schools Conference in Menlo Park, California in March 1969. Led by Harvey Haber and located in Santa Barbara, California, NSE's mission was to provide a clearinghouse for resources and information relating to the free school movement. The Exchange collected information and published school directories and the New Schools Exchange Newsletter , a widely read publication within the alternative school network. Haber served as managing editor for the newsletter until the fall of 1971, when Kat Marin assumed these duties. In early 1973, Bill Harwood and Grace Dailey took on the bulk of NSE's duties and moved the organization to St. Paris, Ohio. In 1974, Harwood and Dailey moved the Exchange to Pettigrew, Arkansas where they integrated subsistence farming and communal living into the continuing educational work of the group. The New Schools Exchange published its final newsletter in 1978 and ceased operations due to financial shortcomings.

Extractions: site index ED.gov Public school data on districts, schools, principals, teachers and library media centers are reliable at the state and national levels. A public school is defined as an institution that provides educational services for at least one of grades 1 through 12 (or comparable ungraded levels), has one or more teachers to give instruction, is located in one or more buildings, receives public funds as primary support and is operated by an education or chartering agency. They include regular, special education, vocational/technical, alternative and public charter schools. Schools in juvenile detention centers and schools located on military bases and operated by the Department of Defense are included. They also include Bureau of Indian Affairs-funded schools operated by local public school districts. Traditional Public Schools are a subset of all public schools that are not public charter schools. They include regular, special education, vocational/technical and alternative schools. They also include schools in juvenile detention centers and schools located on military bases and operated by the Department of Defense and Bureau of Indian Affairs-funded schools operated by local public school districts.

Extractions: Violence and Discipline Problems in U.S. Public Schools: 1996-97 See also Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2002 The sample of public schools for the FRSS Principal/School Disciplinarian Survey on School Violence was selected from the 1993-94 NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) Public School Universe File. Over 84,000 public schools are contained in the CCD Universe File, of which almost 79,000-49,000 regular elementary schools, 14,000 regular middle schools, and 15,801 regular secondary/combined schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia-meet the eligibility criteria for this study. Excluded from the sampling frame were special education, vocational, and alternative/other schools, schools in the territories, and schools with a high grade lower than one or ungraded. In April 1997 questionnaires were mailed to 1,415 school principals. The principal was asked either to complete the questionnaire or to have it completed by the school disciplinarian who was most knowledgeable about discipline issues at the school. Telephone followup of nonrespondents was initiated in late April, and data collection was completed in July 1997. Eleven schools were found to be out of the scope of the study (no longer in existence), and a total of 1,234 schools completed the survey. Thus, the final raw response rate was 88 percent (1,234 schools divided by the 1,404 eligible schools in the sample). The weighted overall response rate was 89 percent. Weighted item nonresponse rates ranged from percent to 0.9 percent. Because the item nonresponse was so low, imputation for item nonresponse was not implemented.

School Choice: More Mixed Results From Milwaukee's Pilot Program

http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/publications/WCER_Highlights/Vol.6_No.1_Winter_1993-199

Extractions: Can school choice programs remedy the ills of public education? Some of them, yes, but school choice is no panacea. WCER researcher and UW-Madison political science professor John Witte draws this conclusion after three years of studying Milwaukee's experimental Parental Choice Program. Parents of Milwaukee students are much happier with their children's private "choice" schools than they were with local public schools, Witte says, but student outcomes remain mixed. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction appointed Witte in 1990 to evaluate the Milwaukee program, the first of its kind in the country. His research was funded by a startup grant from the UW-Madison's Robert La Follette Institute of Public Affairs; the Spencer Foundation provides continuing funding. Parents say they like the teachers, principals, instruction, and discipline in the choice schools. Eighty- four percent of parents say they are satisfied or very satisfied with the amount of information they received about the program. Eighty-six percent say they are satisfied or very satisfied with the cooperation they received from the schools they applied to. In short, parents want the program to continue. Despite parents' happiness, the choice program study reveals mixed student outcomes. "Achievement change scores have varied considerably in the first three years of the program," Witte says. "Choice students' reading scores increased the first year but fell in the second and third years. In math, choice students were essentially the same in the first two years, but recorded a significant increase in the third year." The fluctuation in achievement test results for choice students was due partly to attrition from the program.

http://www.ncsl.org/programs/cyf/CFFCArticle.htm

Extractions: Policy Associate In the past decade, state legislatures have remained diligent in addressing school violence, with at least twenty states passing new laws promoting school safety during 1998 and 1999. And in the wake of recent school shootings in Littleton, Colorado and Conyers, Georgia, legislative activity is expected to intensify in the 2000 session. State legislatures currently address school violence in various ways. A majority of states continue to follow traditional approaches, such as enhanced security measures and disciplinary codes, while many look for additional ways to prevent crime on school grounds. Increasingly, state legislatures acknowledge the importance of responding to risk factors, such as mental health issues and peer conflict. Recognizing the complexity of the issue, many lawmakers have designed programs and policies to deal with school violence within the broader context of community and family, acknowledging that school violence is not just a school problem. Some unique enactments include an Arizona law providing free college education for third graders that stay out of trouble, firearms training in Utah schools, and community education in Washington. While not an exhaustive list, this article presents a snapshot of recent state legislative activity around school safety issues.

http://www.weac.org/Capitol/2003-04/legagenda/alternative.htm

Extractions: Providing every kid with a great school sometimes means providing an alternative to traditional classrooms or teaching techniques. This is especially true for at-risk students as well as those who are talented and gifted. There has been success in meeting these students' needs through smaller alternative education programs that attempt to integrate learning and meaningful work. Chapter 115.28 (7) (e) of the state statutes defines an alternative education program as an instructional program approved by the school board that utilizes successful alternative or adaptive school structures and teaching techniques, and is incorporated into existing, traditional classrooms or regularly scheduled curricular programs, or is offered in place of regularly scheduled curricular programs. "Alternative education program" does not include a private school or a home-based private education program. The state superintendent of public instruction is charged with the development of administrative rules establishing requirements for licensure of alternative education program teachers.
