Oregon received a $15 million, three-year federal grant as part of the No Child Left Behind Act to support charter schools with start-up and initial implementation costs. The state Department of Education will distribute $4.35 million to charter schools for the 2002-03 school year. Charter schools compete for an initial $50,000 development grant. Once that is awarded, they receive $150,000 each of the next two years for implementation. [Salem, Oregon] Statesman Journal

Extractions: The Associated Press SALEM, Ore. (AP) Saying that educators must be given the ability to deal with severely disruptive students, a lawmaker is proposing to end Oregon's ban on corporal punishment in public schools. "When children control classrooms, learning stops," Rep. Jeff Kropf, R-Halsey, said Monday of the bill he's introduced to make it legal to spank misbehaving children as long as their parents consent. Groups representing Oregon's teachers and school boards said Monday they want no part of a return to corporal punishment. "Caning students or whacking them with a ruler is not going to bring them around. There are better ways to deal with problems," said James Sager, head of the Oregon Education Association, the state's largest teachers union. The 1989 Legislature outlawed corporal punishment after proponents said that having teachers or other school officials resort to physical force to get an unruly student's attention sets a poor example for other children. John Marshall of the Oregon School Boards Association uses the same argument in opposing Kropf's measure, HB2828.

Extractions: Albany Free School The Free School is a process which must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The kids themselves make the choice to join us, after a week's visit (we do not leave that decision to parents alone) and since the changes they may want and need to make occur only over time and the space to discover for themselves who they really are, we ask parents for a commitment to allow their children to stay in the school for at least a year, so that the value we have for them can be fully realized. Alpine Valley School - Based on the Sudbury Valley School (see below), Alpine Valley is a place dedicated to freedom, respect and the joy of learning. Here, learning occurs as that magical state of being fully engaged and freely exploring your interests, gifts and talents. True freedom and responsibility emerge from trust and respect. Every student is a part of all school decisions and stands on equal footing with the staff and each other. Alternative Community School (Ithaca, NY) - ACS is a small middle school/high school, grades 6 through 12. There are about 260 students, who are accepted to ACS through random draw from the applicant pool. ACS is a public school, and there are no fees or tuition. We are an alternative to traditional schools, in our curricular and school governance philosophies. We believe in being both a community within our school and being part of the larger Ithaca community. Australian Correspondance School - "Established in 1979, ACS has educated thousands of full and part-time students, many of whom have gone onto successful employment, both in industry or in their own businesses. Others have used their courses to develop a hobby, or simply broaden their general education. We currently have over 2500 students enrolled from Australia and around the world."

ERIC Digest 78 - School Discipline has been done in several Portland, oregon, middle schools Gottfredson (1989) recommends that schools work to A comparison of three alternative programs for at http://eric.uoregon.edu/publications/digests/digest078.html
Extractions: Clearinghouse on Educational Policy and Management Next (Digest 079) By Joan Gaustad School discipline has two main goals: (1) ensure the safety of staff and students, and (2) create an environment conducive to learning. Serious student misconduct involving violent or criminal behavior defeats these goals and often makes headlines in the process. However, the commonest discipline problems involve noncriminal student behavior (Moles 1989). These less dramatic problems may not threaten personal safety, but they still negatively affect the learning environment. Disruptions interrupt lessons for all students, and disruptive students lose even more learning time. For example, Gottfredson and others (1989) calculate that in six middle schools in Charleston, South Carolina, students lost 7,932 instructional days44 years!to in-school and out-of-school suspensions in a single academic year. It is important to keep the ultimate goal in mind while working to improve school discipline. As education researcher Daniel Duke (1989) points out, "the goal of good behavior is necessary, but not sufficient to ensure academic growth." Effective school discipline strategies seek to encourage responsible behavior and to provide all students with a satisfying school experience as well as to discourage misconduct.

Extractions: Read about the condition of urban education in this state. If you have your images turned off, you may be missing several important links. regon lawmakers last year continued a tradition of devoting ample attention to education. In an action-packed six-month session, the legislature replaced the teacher-tenure system with renewable contracts, directed the state school board to create a process to reward high-performing schools, expanded the state's alternative education act, and consideredbut didn't passa charter school law. The legislators also kept the topic of funding on the front burner, debating both whether and how to continue subsidizing schools at the same level they enjoyed before the passage of two property-tax-limitation laws. Hundreds of parents and children regularly descended on the Capitol in Salem, keeping the pressure on legislators to maintain a relatively high level of school funding. Both the governor and the speaker of the House formed task forces to study how much it would cost for a child to receive a high-quality education. One of the most dramatic policy shifts the state executed last year was in tenure reform. Lawmakers eliminated lifelong teacher tenure, which was awarded after three years of employment, and replaced it with renewable two-year contracts.

What is the Americas Schools Program? The Americas Schools program is an innovative approach for corporations to provide schools with discretionary funding for K-12 educational programs. The Oregon School Boards Association and the International School Licensing Corporation (ISLC) have jointly developed this program to ensure that new funding goes directly to school districts throughout Oregon. The core component of the program is the official Americas Schools Symbol, which provides schools and corporations a unifying platform they can support both philosophically and financially. How does the Program Work? Participating corporations pay sponsorship fees to display the Symbol on their products and/or marketing materials, sending the message that they support public education. When consumers, parents, teachers and students choose to purchase products and services that employ the Symbol, schools are provided discretionary revenue from participating corporations to help fund extracurricular programs. While participating districts will display the Americas Schools Symbol, absolutely no corporate advertising will be displayed on school grounds. What are the Benefits of the Americas Schools Program?
