COMMUNITY INITIATIVES HUMAN SERVICES GRANTS URBAN DEVELOPMENT ... CONTACT US F BCI FaithBasedCommunityInitiatives.org Atlanta Regional Conference. Thursday, October 10, 2002. 8:30 am -5:45 pm Welcome to FaithBasedCommunityInitiatives.org. During the upcoming months as more details emerge from the new White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI), we will be aggregating and disseminating information about the new office and its programs. Our Vision is to educate and assist new and existing Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to apply and qualify for competitive Federal Funding. Please note that we are an informational website and not the OFBCI. Effective immediately, the Federal Government has adopted a new attitude to honor and not restrict faith-based and community initiatives, to accept rather than dismiss such programs, and to empower rather than ignore them. In welfare and social policy, the Federal Government will play a new role as supporter, enabler, catalyst and collaborator with faith-based and community organizations. The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has been established to make Federal programs more friendly to faith-based and community solutions and to make federal funding more accessible.

Accessible Quality Health Care for ALL Medicare Monitoring and Education Project Background Medicare was started in 1965 by President Johnson as an effort to increase access to health care for our country's most vulnerable citizens. The program was designed to give health care security to Americans age 65 and older, disabled, and those with End Stage Renal Disease. This program has been ineffective in accomplishing its initial goals. Too many Medicare beneficiaries are insecure and confused about their health care benefits, as well as increasingly unable to gain access to quality care. Problems in the current health care system: * Medicare + Choice undermines the social insurance promise of Medicare. The HMO's practices are often faulty and misleading and the greatest problem is their ability to pull out of the Medicare Managed Care market at their discretion if they are not maximizing their profits. In the past year, the number of Illinois Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare HMO's has decreased because the HMO's are not making the profits anticipated on the backs of senior beneficiaries. There are now only 8 percent of Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in HMO's in the state of Illinois. The HMO's that do offer coverage are dropping services and putting strict caps on prescription drug coverage, the major reason that beneficiaries enrolled in the plan. Managed care plans put Medicare beneficiaries at risk when they deny services, raise premiums and co-pays, or drop beneficiaries from plans without notice.

STATE EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS Historical Profiles More recent accountability profiles are available from the Consortium for Policy Research in Education Introduction Alabama Maryland ... North Carolina Introduction The Resource Center on Educational Equity of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), in collaboration with the New England Comprehensive Assistance Center, has developed profiles of state education accountability systems. They are comprised of information about statewide content and student performance standards statewide student assessments criteria to determine whether schools and school districts are in need of improvement or eligible to receive rewards how school and district performance is publicized the provision of rewards to schools and school districts actions at the local level to assist schools in need of improvement achieve satisfactory status actions at the state level to assist both school districts and schools in need of improvement to achieve satisfactory status corrective actions where schools or school districts in need of improvement have not made adequate progress or failed to meet other criteria for improvement Several states have developed accountability systems on their own initiative, as part of their state school improvement planning. However, the standards, assessments, and other actions and processes referred to above also are required under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994. As reflected in these profiles, some states have integrated implementation of these requirements with their statewide accountability systems while others have separate systems in whole or in part.
