Van-Buren.com Posted: Monday, January 27, 2003 Governor Deserves High Marks And quite the tone he set. We have been a harsh critic at times of the governor, but on this occasion, we applaud him. It is rare to see a governor muster the full depth and breadth of the leadership that resides in the office and use it to full potential. It takes a governor who can pull that from within himself, and it takes an issue that calls for such command. "It’s using the arbitrary figure," said Rep. Mike Hathorn, D-Huntsville. Hathorn would be sensitive to that particular yardstick because his district includes nine school districts with fewer than 1,500 students. Said House Speaker Herschel Cleveland, D-Paris: "There are districts whose test scores are above normal, and their expenditures per child right in there about the state average. Why would we go through all this turmoil to eliminate all those districts?" The figure, however, was far from arbitrary, at least according to state Education Department director Ray Simon. The 1,500-student mark, he said, was arrived at from decades of studying education in the state. That many students are necessary, he said, for a district to offer a solid curriculum of study. And, too, there is an opportunity for smaller schools that perform at high levels to remain in existence.

Review of Charter School Legislation Provisions Related to Students with Disabilities, September 1998 General Legislative Provisions This first part of the review examines statutory provisions that have implications for, but do not necessarily address directly, students with disabilities or special education. Various provisions in state statutes grant charter schools varying levels of authority to govern themselves and to make decisions regarding the operation of the schools, including decisions related to personnel, curriculum, and expenditures. The extent of a charter school's operational autonomy will have an impact on how special education programs are implemented in these schools. As described in the following paragraphs, statutory provisions that give higher levels of autonomy include ones that allow or require charter schools to (1) operate independent from local school districts, (2) make their own personnel decisions, (3) be exempt from state and district education laws and regulations, (4) assume liability for their actions, and (5) receive their funding directly from the state.

32. Opinion Ernest Dumas, June 1, 2001 As almost everyone will acknowledge, arkansas schools are neither suitable nor efficient.They never have been. Neither are they general, if that implies equal http://www.arktimes.com/dumas/060101dumas.html

News Food Dining Movies ... E-Mail Our sublime Constitution By Ernest Dumas June 1, 2001 What a capricious thing is a constitution. It is there so that we can boast of our noble values, and then someone comes along and wants to make it real. The Bill of Rights sounds so majestic until some creep claims its protection for burning a flag. Is there a people anywhere with a more sublime guiding principle than the one we've claimed since 1874, when we ratified the Arkansas Constitution?: "Intelligence and virtue being the safeguards of liberty and the bulwark of a free and good government, the State shall ever maintain a general, suitable and efficient system of free public schools and shall adopt all suitable means to secure to the people the advantages and opportunities of education." Something like it has been in each of our constitutions since statehood, in 1836. It seems that we have always been nominal admirers of education. It was a beautiful sentiment until someone came along and pointed out that the emperor has no clothes. As almost everyone will acknowledge, Arkansas schools are neither suitable nor efficient. They never have been. Neither are they general, if that implies equal. An attorney for Rogers and several other school districts raised the point in the latest school finance lawsuit and, being an honest man, Chancellor Collins Kilgore, had no choice but to agree. He ordered the state government to provide the same good educational opportunities to all the children that the Constitution requires.
