Extractions: Paul Reagan Washington, D.C., December 18 The final catch-all appropriations bill that Congress approved late Friday for fiscal year 2001 includes $925,000 for Marymount University in Arlington to launch an innovative program designed to provide technology training to teachers in the Northern Virginia area. Eighth District Congressman Jim Moran, who has made funding the program a high priority throughout the year, said the Universitys "Educator to Educator Initiative" was designed to provide teachers at collaborating schools with the resources, materials and technical assistance they need to enrich classroom teaching in computers and technology. "One of the most crucial educational challenges facing America today is providing our teachers with the latest, most-effective training in computers and educational technology," Moran explained. "We have to recognize that a computer in every classroom doesnt do any good unless there is a fully-trained, computer literate teacher in the classroom as well."
WashingtonPost.com: '97 Virginia Governor's Race in virginia had a simple answer when asked whether it was legal for public schoolbuses to provide transportation for children attending parochial schools It http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/library/vagov/issues/issue30
Extractions: Sunday, October 26, 1997; Page B01 For more than 30 years, the attorney general's office in Virginia had a simple answer when asked whether it was legal for public school buses to provide transportation for children attending parochial schools: It would be unconstitutional. But Jim Gilmore changed that. "I am of the opinion that the prior opinions do not accurately state the current law," Gilmore, then the attorney general, wrote in 1995, responding to a question posed by a conservative Republican legislator. "It would not be a violation of the Virginia Constitution . . . to provide public school buses for transporting students to both public and private schools, even when some of those private schools are sectarian in nature." Although the turnaround delighted some of Gilmore's most ardent supporters, critics saw it as yet another example of how the politically ambitious attorney general now the Republican nominee for governor had allowed his ideological views to shade his view of the law. His tenure as attorney general was filled with similar controversies involving issues such as air pollution and cigarettes. At the same time, Gilmore, 48, has been praised for his leadership and nuts-and-bolts management of the attorney general's office. He is credited with helping to push through a slew of tough-on-crime laws. He reorganized the 270-person office in a way that most agree improved morale, strengthened operations and de-emphasized political patronage in hiring outside lawyers.

Extractions: Wall Street Journal Maybe when your childhood memories include waking up at midnight to a burning cross on your front lawn, you're not going to let a Teddy Kennedy or Eleanor Holmes Norton intimidate you. Just ask Virginia Walden-Ford. As executive director of D.C. Parents for School Choice, the 52-year-old Mrs. Walden-Ford played a pivotal role in the landmark vouchers bill that just passed Congress. She did that with a public campaign that pushed one uncomfortable fact to the fore: How many of the Congressmen and Senators fighting hardest against school choice for black and Latino children choose private schools for their own little darlings. But the willingness to spread a little discomfort shouldn't be all that surprising coming from a woman whose father was the first African-American administrator in the Little Rock school district and who herself graduated from the same Central High that was home to the Little Rock Nine. "I was called 'nigger' most every day and I begged my father begged him to let me go back to an all-black school," she says of her high school experience. "But daddy wouldn't let me quit, and I learned that I was supposed to stand up and fight.

10/03_Puller Whether particular organization is private, denominational, or parochial schoolunder virginias compulsory attendance statute requires factual review http://www.oag.state.va.us/media center/Opinions/2003opns/03-048w.htm
Extractions: October 31, 2003 Issue Presented You ask whether enrollment of a student in a private learning program satisfies the requirements of Virginia’s compulsory attendance statute. In the alternative, you inquire concerning the requirements for a program to qualify as a "school" under the compulsory attendance statute. Response Virginia law does not define "school" for purposes of the compulsory school attendance laws. Accordingly, it is my opinion that whether a particular organization is a "private, denominational or parochial school" within the meaning of Virginia’s compulsory attendance statute is a factual determination. For many years, Attorneys General have concluded that § 2.2-505, the authorizing statute for official opinions of the Attorney General, does not contemplate that such opinions be rendered on matters requiring factual determinations, rather than matters interpreting questions of law. Background You relate that several parents in Fairfax County have removed their children, who are special education students, from the Fairfax County Public Schools and have enrolled them in private learning programs. You advise that some of these programs do not offer a "full" curriculum or permit a parent to enroll a child in a specific part of the program. You note that while some of these organizations provide extensive educational services, they are not "schools." You relate that other programs provide fewer services but claim to be "schools." You also relate that some of these programs are not certified or accredited as "schools" by the political subdivision in which they are located or by regional accrediting bodies. You do not state whether the Board of Education has licensed the private learning programs as "schools for students with disabilities,"

Catholic Diocese Of Wilmington - History When Richmond, virginia native Bishop Becker was consecrated in August of 1868 18churches, an orphanage, academy for girls and parochial school, all conducted http://www.cdow.org/cdowhistory.html
Extractions: A Brief History of the Diocese of Wilmington The Diocese of Wilmington was established in March of 1868 by Pope Pius IX under the leadership of its first Bishop, the Right Reverend Thomas Andrew Becker, D.D. It comprised at the time the entire State of Delaware, the nine counties of Maryland and the two counties of Virginia east of the Chesapeake Bay. These areas constitute the geographic area known as the Delmarva Peninsula. In 1974, Pope Paul VI transferred the Virginia territory of the Diocese of Wilmington to the Diocese of Richmond after the construction of the Chesapeake Bridge-Tunnel improved convenient travel between the Eastern Shore counties of Virginia and the mainland. When Richmond, Virginia native Bishop Becker was consecrated in August of 1868 as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Wilmington, he had a somewhat discouraging list of resources: eight priests, 18 churches, an orphanage, academy for girls and parochial school, all conducted by the Daughters of Charity at St. Peter, Wilmington; parochial schools at St. Mary, Wilmington and St. Joseph, Brandywine Banks, conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who were immediately recalled to Philadelphia by Bishop James Wood upon learning of the establishment of the new diocese.
