I wrote the PROMISE Scholarship, worked to raise test scores throughout the state, and increased grant funding for college students. To improve efficiency, I would encourage joint purchasing by colleges, shared services as much as possible, and increased distance-learning opportunities. I would not advocate closing colleges as each of them are vital to West Virginia 's economic health. There is not too much education in West Virginia, and we must work to increase access to education and the efficiency of the system. Jim Lees (Democrat) Candidate Statement: I am pro-choice. I oppose the partial-birth abortion procedure. I define marriage as between a man and a woman and fully support the law in WV which so defines that relationship. Referring to the recent Unborn Victims Act here in WV vetoed by Governor Wise, I would have also vetoed the bill. I believe in school choice for parents. We are not in a position to afford a school voucher system in WV, so presently it is a non-issue here.

Extractions: Identifying Students with Disabilities Tazewell County Public Schools ensures that all children with disabilities, aged two to 21, inclusive, residing in Tazewell County have a right to a free and appropriate public education. Disabled children are those children who manifest one or more of the following impairments, and who, because of those impairments, need special education. The State of Virginia uses the following definitions: 1. Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. 2. Deaf blindness means concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational problems that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for deaf or blind children.
History Of St. Louis Neighborhoods - Carondelet Other parochial schools were those of St. all on the west side of virginia Avenuesouth through arrangements with William T. Harris, superintendent of schools. http://stlouis.missouri.org/neighborhoods/history/carondelet/schools6.htm
Extractions: As Carondelet's population was entirely Catholic for many years after its founding, the first attempts toward education were made by that faith. After the first parish was founded in 1824, a parochial school was established in due course. It had been continued until recently and occupied a building erected in 1926, adjacent to the Church of St. Mary and Joseph. Other parochial schools were those of St. Boniface, founded in 1860, and now occupying a building built in 1949, and St. Columbkille founded in 1872, and closed with abandonment of the parish in 1952. The girl's school at the Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph began in 1836 and was supported after 1839 by public funds for teachers' salaries. This method continued until public schools were instituted following incorporation as a city in 1851. St. Trinity Lutheran Church's school was founded about 1860 and is now located at 517 Koeln Street. A school was organized by the Carondelet Evangelical Church in the 1870's but was closed early in the twentieth century. In 1871, the Carondelet School was built at 8221 Minnesota Avenue to serve the southern part of the community. This school was closed in 1975 and sold to a church group which operates it as the Gateway Day Nursery. Des Peres School, 6307 Michigan Avenue at Iron Street, was opened in 1873. The two story structure, in common with others of its time, had high ceilings and windows for satisfactory air and light. Each room was heated by a coal stove and drinking water was provided in buckets with dippers, in the hallways. Henry T. Blow's daughter Susan, opened the first kindergarten in America in Des Peres School soon after its opening through arrangements with William T. Harris, superintendent of schools. The school was closed in 1935, and is now used as a grocery warehouse.

Additional Information On The Establishment Clause of transportation costs to public and parochial schools valid). Use of school facilitiesby religious groups Rosenberger v. University of virginia, 115 S.Ct. http://www.iog.unc.edu/organizations/planning/onlinepubs/pzb-a2.htm
Extractions: The Supreme Court has in recent years engaged in a lively debate of the original meaning of the clause and there has also been considerable recent academic research on the origins and purpose of the Constitutional provisions on religion. Justice Renquist contends its original meaning was simply to prohibit the government from establishing a national religion or favoring one religion over another. Justice Souter, weighed in arguing in favor of neutral access by religious groups to government funding and programs. Tests The Supreme Court has struggled somewhat unsuccessfully for the past quarter century to set forth clear guidelines to determine whether the Establishment Clause had been violated. Much of this time the court has used the three part test set forth in 1971 by Chief Justice Burger in Lemon v. Kurtzman as its analytic framework: Does the statute have a secular legislative purpose?

Extractions: Rockefeller-created Program "E-rate" Announces 1 st Round of Funding This Year WASHINGTON, D.C. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) announced today that schools and libraries are being awarded funding to assist them in obtaining and preserving access to the Internet. In 1996, Senator Rockefeller and Senator Snowe (R-ME) created what has become known as the E-rate program so that schools and libraries across America would have access to the Internet. These awards are the first in a series of funding to be announced this year. "Since 1998, the E-rate program has made Internet service available to the general public through libraries and schools. The state has benefited tremendously from this funding in the past, and I will continue to ensure the availability and flexibility of this program. E-rate has wired thousands of schools across the country, bringing us closer to achieving the goal of wiring every classroom to the Internet," Rockefeller said. In the first three years of E-rate funding, West Virginia received $24 million

Parochial Schools: Out of Cities, Into the Suburbs PHILADELPHIA Suburban waiting lists In Arlington, Va., the waiting list for the elementary schools runs into the thousands. In the Minneapolis suburbs, the archdiocese is building a major building every year, and still can't keep up with the demand. The growing enrollment may seem good, but the flood of students presents many problems. At Our Lady of Mercy, the parish set up trailers to house the extra students until it built a $4 million addition this year. But the school is still overfilled. "Parents complain about the class size, which is about 34," says Sister Virginia Pfan, the school principal. "We just don't have room for anyone else." The schools' popularity doesn't always stem from good facilities. Few schools offer computers in the classroom and many work with vintage science equipment. Students still sit in silent rows, and the schools stress that education is a result of individual effort.
Extractions: "It is good to see that the City continues to prosper from the growth on Wall Street, and that we once again have a surplus. Everyone likes to hear about tax cuts that will benefit New Yorkers across all economic lines, and about programs like New York/New York II (while nowhere near enough funding, it is a good start) that address a serious need. I agree with the Mayor that a number of his proposed tax breaks will help spur business development and growth, as well as helping working families. "That being said, I believe that we must continue to invest in our students, and in our future and in our public schools. Quality schools are key to attracting and retaining businesses. Giving up on our schools is tantamount to giving up on the education of one million of our children. That is why I continue to disagree with the Mayor's voucher proposal. I wholeheartedly disagree with spending public dollars to subsidize private and parochial schools. The courts may very well also disagree. "I am extremely disappointed that the Mayor's ten year capital strategy for transportation did not include funding for the Second Avenue Subway. The Second Avenue Subway is critical to helping grow the economy of our city and addressing the serious, and dangerous, overcrowding issues on the Lexington Avenue line. As I have called on the Governor and the federal government to commit to building the Second Avenue Subway, so too do I call on the Mayor to commit to this vital transportation project.
