U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige announced the 264 public and private elementary school winners on May 23. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education, the Blue Ribbon Schools Program spotlights some of the countrys most successful schools. Elementary and secondary schools are recognized in alternate years. "This is quite an honor for these schools," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jo Lynne DeMary. "To be recognized for this distinction, a school must demonstrate a strong commitment to educational excellence for all its students. Schools attaining this designation excel in school leadership, teaching, curriculum, student achievement and parental involvement." "These schools are carrying on Virginia's long tradition for Blue Ribbon School recognition at the national level," said Board of Education President Kirk T. Schroder. "To me, these schools are another example of the many great things about Virginia public education. Sometimes in the public debate on education, we forget about those good things, and I am pleased that these schools are reminding the public about this fact."

Extractions: Washington Post Staff Writer AMHERST, Va. The red-brick downtown here still has an appliance store and a neighborhood pharmacy. People leave their doors unlocked. And the parking meters on Main Street don't take quarters because a dime buys the maximum of two hours. Twelve minutes costs a penny. It is from this town of 2,200, steeped in nostalgia and the values of a bygone era, that Virginia Republicans today plan to pluck their first-ever speaker of the House, Del. S. Vance Wilkins Jr., to lead themand the stateinto the future. Wilkins, a self-described "country boy" with a hard-to-miss gap between his front teeth, is as unpolished as he is revered by his fellow Republicans for three decades of tenacious work building the party. But even his friends note the irony: The party he is credited with building completed its rise to power this month by winning elections in fast-growing, bustling suburban areas such as Northern Virginia, far removed from small, rural towns like this one, Wilkins's home for all but six of his 63 years. The future Wilkins has been working toward throughout his public life would be, he said, much like the past he knew here in Central Virginia as a child. It was a place where he walked to school and worked as a paper boy, a place where neighbors relied on themselves and one another, not the government, to better their lives.

Extractions: HERALD Staff Writer According to Del. Richard Black, 32nd District and member of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Great Falls, the two-part tax credit legislation benefits in a particular way Catholic school students and large families. The bill is being co-sponsored in the House by Black and Del. Jay Katzen, 31st District, and in the Senate by Sen. Stephen Martin, 11th District. Black expects approximately 1,000 people to attend the rally to support this bill which he says is "ideally suited to the Catholic school system and will effectively accommodate a broad spectrum of families including low-income and those with a number of children." Divided into two parts, the first element of the bill provides scholarships for children in low-income families with the maximum amount at $3,100 per child. The scholarships will be funded by corporate or individual donations who will in turn receive a $500 tax credit. The second part of a bill is a tax credit for parents who would be able to take a credit on their own tax bill for the expense of sending children to private school with the maximum amount at $2,500. Included in this part is a provision for parents who home school and can claim a tax credit of up to $550.

Extractions: Mission in the Mountains By Joseph Platania The Pallottine Missionary Sisters have taught school and provided medical care in West Virginia since 1912. This impressive group of nuns from across the country were photographed in Huntington in the late 1950's. The missionaries arrived in New York after 11 days at sea and were scheduled to depart by train for the town of Stella Niagara, New York. Again they were delayed. They must have said a prayer of thanksgiving, however, when they learned that the train they had planned to take had wrecked, killing many passengers. At Stella Niagara, the newcomers stayed with another community of nuns while they studied English and waited for a place to start their missionary work. They did not wait long. In August 1912, the Reverend Nicholas Hengers, a priest who had established a parish and a grade school in Richwood, came from West Virginia to Stella Niagara, seeking teachers to take charge of the religious education of the youth of his parish. Upon his arrival, Father Hengers discovered that the convent at Stella Niagara had no sisters to spare. The Mother Superior then introduced the priest to the four German nuns who were staying with them. Father Hengers met with the sisters, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Extractions: S. Mitra Kalita A Fairfax County School Board vote tonight on a new family life education curriculum will likely keep the current policy of separating human growth and development classes by gender in fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade classrooms. This year, the school district's staff proposed a pilot program to integrate a few of the eighth-grade classes. "It's considered best practice," said Tamara Ballou, the district's special programs administrator. "We are the only county that separates at the eighth-grade level." But School Board members said they were not comfortable with the recommendation from Ballou's office, which devises and oversees the family life curriculum. They conducted a work session last week to revise the proposal and are scheduled to vote tonight. In the past years, discussions and debates over sex education have intensified and pit Fairfax's liberal and conservative factions against each other. While Democrat-backed county School Board members outnumber Republican-backed members 10 to 2, many at the board's work session agreed with the assessments of Stephen M. Hunt, the most conservative member of the board.
Extractions: Issue Date: 0.0.00 Print Friendly Email Article Although it is frequently attacked as an elitist institution with no regard for the public will, the Supreme Court is hardly immune to cultural and political trends. Justices are, after all, appointed by presidents with particular ideological agendas, shaped partly by polls. Once they ascend to the bench, a few appointees may surprise and disappoint their political patrons, but many do not. So, at least indirectly, the political preferences of voters wield considerable influence on the Court. It was no coincidence that the Supreme Court toyed with invalidating capital punishment in the early 1970s, when public support for it was relatively low; it's not surprising that as support for the death penalty has increased (along with the conservative hold on government), the Court has committed itself to expediting executions. It's worth noting that Roe v. Wade
