Extractions: Proposed Rulemaking on Harassment February 6, 2002 My name is Bob Summersgill. I am President of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, DC (GLAA), the oldest continuously active gay and lesbian civil rights organization in the country. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed regulations. As you may be aware, GLAA's first lobbying success was persuading the DC Board of Education in May 1972 to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation throughout the public school system. We have been involved in a number of other issues involving the school system over the past 30 years. GLAA began urging the DC Public Schools to adopt a policy to protect students from harassment in August 1999. This led to Superintendent Arlene Ackerman's Directive on March 29, 2000 on harassment and sexual harassment against students.
Extractions: PRE-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CLEARANCE District of Columbia law states that each individual who is involved in direct patient care must have a medical clearance (including a history, physical examination, clearance of infectious risk) not more than three months prior to, nor more than 15 days after, the starting date of clinical care, and then annually thereafter. Clearance forms can be filled out by any licensed physician. You must obtain your medical clearance prior to coming to GWUMC as a new resident. If you do not have your medical clearance prior to your arrival here, you may not begin your residency. We must be strict about compliance with this regulation in order to comply with D.C. law. It is each resident's responsibility to ensure that this medical clearance is accomplished in the appropriate time frame and received by the Director of Employee Health. If you do not have your health clearance within the allotted time, you will be suspended without pay from further participation in your training program until medical clearance is obtained and recorded to the satisfaction of Employee Health. PPD/Chest X-ray Requirement Tuberculosis is of particular concern here in the District of Columbia.

Extractions: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on an evaluation of available information, ATSDR has reached the following conclusions: WNY and surrounding communities are connected to the Washington, D.C. municipal water system. There are no known private wells in the vicinity being used as a drinking water supply and no known exposures to contaminated groundwater. Therefore, ATSDR concludes that groundwater poses no apparent public health hazard. Exposure to WNY surface water and sediment is minimal, limited to infrequent dermal contact from fishing, boating, and other recreational activities. People do not swim in or drink water from WNY runoff, outfalls, or the Anacostia River. ATSDR categorizes such infrequent, short-duration exposure to chemical contaminants in surface water and sediment near WNY as posing no apparent public health hazards. Exposure to contaminated soil at WNY is largely prevented due to the inaccessibility of soils, most of which are covered by pavement. In the past, however, people may have been exposed to elevated lead levels in the surface soil at Admiral's Row. Current and potential future exposures have been prevented by Navy interim measures and education efforts. ATSDR concludes that although past exposure to lead-contaminated soil may have posed a past health hazard to children, current and potential future exposures are minimal, if they occur at all, and pose no apparent public health hazard.

Extractions: "I am speaking out about this because I was an educator for twenty years before I became a Senator. I speak out because as a Senator, I have been in a school almost every two weeks for the past ten years and I have seen, as you have, the inequality so many children confront. I also have seen how much difference a good system, a good school and a good teacher can make for a child. "That all citizens will be given an equal start through a sound education is one of the most basic, promised rights of our democracy. Our chronic refusal as a nation to guarantee that right for all children, including poor children, is a national disgrace. We cannot be so blind that we do not see that meeting the most basic needs of so many of our children condemns them to lives and futures of frustration, chronic underachievement, poverty and violence. "But, in the end, this is a spiritual issue for me. We must invest in the skills and intellect and character of our children, not because we know that if we do, they will be more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to be involved in crime, although that is true. We must invest in children not because they will be more likely to go on to college and to lead more productive lives, although that is also true. We should invest in the skills and intellect and character of our children because they are all under four feet tall, they are all beautiful and we should be nice to them."

Extractions: April 5, 2004 District Charter School Program Receives Boost from US Government (Washington, DC) The Banking Bureau of the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) announced the receipt of a $5 million grant from the US Department of Educations Credit Enhancement For Charter School Facilities Program. This is the first grant that DISBs Office of Public Charter School Financing and Support Program has received outside of congressional appropriations. Under the grant, funds are provided on a competitive basis to public and nonprofit entities to help charter schools improve their facilities. The money can be used to purchase, lease, or renovate school buildings. DISB will help the recipients leverage the federal funds by making the money available to guarantee and insure leases, to encourage private lending, and to establish incubator housing that charter schools can use until they raise enough money to purchase their own facility. This grant will strengthen the charter school program in the District of Columbia, said DISB Commissioner Lawrence H. Mirel, which Mayor Williams supports as a way to ensure that District children have access to high quality education in a safe and healthy learning environment.
