Extractions: "The scene in the Committee room was pretty amazing. I have not seen anything like it on the Hill before. On one side of the seating area in the Committee room were opponents of D.C. school choice, all wearing stickers saying "Stop DC Vouchers" handed out by a representative of the People for the American Way. Ninety-nine percent of the voucher opponents were white. On the other side of the room were supporters of vouchers. They were all black, mostly women and children, wearing DC school choice t-shirts." From Capital Hillblogger The District of Columbia is ground zero for school choice. All forces converge there. The District is home to the United States Department of Education, the National Education Association, and the American Federation of Teachers. The problem is very real there. The Districts' students scored lower than all 50 states. Seventy-two percent of black D.C. students read at below basic level. The battle is dramatic and passionate. Congress is debating funding of a pilot school voucher programs - only $75 million spread around the nation's troubled school districts; the District of Columbia would receive $15 million. The debate has generated interesting intra-party battles. The Wall Street Journal hammered two Republican congressmen for opposing the D.C. voucher appropriation - they were justified in the case of Rep. Todd Platts (R-PA) but less justified in their condemnation of Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ.) Democrat D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton viciously reprimanded Democrat Mayor Anthony Williams for supporting the measure. (Norton sends her now-adult son to private Georgetown Day school.) And more directly, African-American D.C. parents confronted essentially all white opponents of D.C. vouchers in the House subcommittee room (described above.)

Extractions: A Message to California's Private School Community Assemblywoman Lynne C. Leach For most Californians, be they parents, students, taxpayers, business people, teachers or anyone in between, the importance of education is a given. We know it is our responsibility to ensure that the next generation is prepared to be leaders, employers, employees, parents, customers and even patriots. In order to do this, we must educate this future leadership core now. The great majority of people look to the public schools to do this job of leadership preparation and responsibility. However, beyond the 6,000,000 or so of our students who walk through the doors of a public school each day are some 640,000 young people who turn to private or parochial schools for their education. The private-parochial parent can give you a variety of reasons for sending their child/children to those institutions: a more focused education, discipline, religions training, academic excellence, security, safety, respect, back-to-basics curriculum, just to name a few. But whatever their reasons, they have found these non-public school facilities more in tune with what they want for their students. Public-Parochial-Charter-Home Study here in California we are so blessed with many options. It is our responsibility as adult leaders to be sure that which ever choice the parent makes, that education avenue becomes the road to personal success and not the "boulevard of broken dreams" for their children and for our future.
Five Views: A History Of Mexican Americans In California and unequal education of Chicano and other ethnic minority children in california. remodel the building, and to eventually establish a parochial school in Casa http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/5views/5views5h10.htm
Extractions: Riverside, Riverside County The Casa Blanca School in Riverside epitomizes the historical tradition of de facto segregated, separate, and unequal education of Chicano and other ethnic minority children in California. It also epitomizes the coordinated, successful struggle of ethnic minority communities to fight against racism and unequal education. Born in the political, economic, and social conflicts between Mexicanos and Anglos in the post-Mexican-American War period, the policy and tradition of racial segregation of Riverside schools continued until 1965. It was initiated in 1874, when newly arrived Anglos created the Trujillo School District to serve the residents of La Placita, thus isolating the Mexican community from Riverside. In 1906, the Riverside City School Board reaffirmed the 1874 decision by ruling that all children must attend school in the attendance district in which they lived. This ruling was aimed at the growing number of Mexican immigrant families who were being imported to work as line crews on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Southern Pacific Railroad. Mexican labor was also being recruited for the growing citrus industry, which had boomed in the 1880s and was quickly becoming the economic mainstay of the region. By the early twentieth century, Mexican labor replaced Chinese and Japanese labor, the earliest unskilled labor force brought into the Riverside area. In addition to working the citrus orchards, packing houses, and railroads, Mexican laborers worked in the nearby cement plants and rock quarries and on construction of the Salt Lake Bridge over the Santa Ana River.

Extractions: DCP Today Welcome to DCP Today, CENIC's twice-monthly electronic newsletter detailing the latest news about the Digital California Project. IN THIS ISSUE Heard Around California By delivering advanced network services to K-12 schools across the state, the Digital California Project (DCP) will give local students and teachers access to the next generation of educational and training resources. This network will help bridge the digital divide, bringing together K-12 schools, public and private universities, and educational research institutions. California State Senator Jack O'Connell (D-San Luis Obispo) st critical connection made in San Luis Obispo On Thursday, April 24th, the first county-based access node for the DCP began operations at the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education. Nearly all 96 schools and 37,000 students now can connect to the DCP via the San Luis Obispo node. Educators and lawmakers agree that the DCP is a significant milestone for all K-20 students in San Luis Obispo County. These county-based access nodes are positioned to take full advantage of extant county, district and school networks and the telecommunications infrastructure at school sites. By connecting the existing K-12 county and school district networks to these nodes, K-12 schools, district offices and county offices can then connect to each other statewide through the DCP. In addition, they will be able to connect to the Internet2 network and the commercial Internet. The Fresno County Office of Education is the next node scheduled for completion.
