Building Excellent Schools Spare the School, Despoil the Child New York Post Editorial , January 30, 2004 "Because Reisenbach is a charter school, not a traditional public school, something can be done about its chronic and abysmal failures: It can be shut.

Extractions: CONTACT: BRIAN PERRY: 202-225-5031 LEAVING NO MISSISSIPPI CHILD BEHIND This month the Mississippi Department of Education will host a series of statewide meetings with educators and parents to discuss the No Child Left Behind Act and the Mississippi Accountability System. US Secretary of Education Rod Paige, a native of Monticello, Mississippi, and I are proud that our state complies with the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). We reached compliance before most of the rest of the country. We are the sixth state to complete this first step of President George W. Bush's innovative education plan. Our State Superintendent of Education, Dr. Henry L. Johnson, deserves high praise for his leadership in implementing this program. Now Mississippi has a comprehensive plan detailing how we will close the achievement gap and make sure all students, including students in poor, rural or inner city schools, achieve academic proficiency. NCLB contains the most sweeping changes to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act since it was enacted in 1965. It changes the federal government's role in kindergarten-through-grade-12 education by asking America's schools to describe their success in terms of what each student accomplishes. The act contains the President's four basic education reform principles: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work.

Extractions: For many of today's young people, the civil rights movement has been relegated to America's mythic past. Though they celebrate the toppling of segregation's legal structures, few born after the 1960s feel a present connection to the movement's human drama and sense of urgency. In the Mississippi Delta, however, rural communities have a rich sense of place: every creek, cotton field, church, and courthouse has a story to tell. In the Delta, young African Americans are inspired by local civil rights heroes, men and women both known and unknown to the outside world. There, children and their elders work side by side to keep transforming institutions of local power. In doing so, they are conscious of carrying the civil rights movement forward into a new century. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 guaranteed the right to vote, but Mississippi's black residents are making sure that every vote counts or receives its proper weight. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (1954) decided that "separate" was no longer "equal" under the law, but residents are still working today through the interconnected grassroots organizations of Southern Echo and the Mississippi Education Working Group (MEWG) to equalize educational opportunity in the public schools, which few white students attend and which usually offer substandard resources and instruction.
