That's good news for the South Side, which is often overshadowed by bad news. A number of hurdles, however, remain before the innovative school can open its doors in the fall of 2003. The school, modeled after a Chicago Catholic high school, needs a home. And it needs community support in providing jobs to students to help pay their tuition - a key component. While the Wildcats were getting pounded Thursday night, a group of educators, priests, parents, business owners and others met to talk about creating a school where dreams would come true.

HOME Search Calendar Maps Service Directory Word Search Education Four-year-old Veronica was paying attention the day a speaker from the Fire Department talked to her Head Start class about what to do in case of fire. The firefighter carefully explained that if the children ever smelled smoke at night, they should crawl along the ground, wake an adult and call 911. Several weeks later, Veronica woke up and noticed smoke coming into her home from the garage. Recalling the firefighter’s words, she crawled along the floor into her grandfather’s room. She awoke him and he started to jump up, but Veronica reminded him that they should crawl along the floor. They woke her mother and all three crawled to safety. Although the home was gutted by the fire, the family is alive and well thanks to Veronica’s quick thinking. The Education Division has two major programs: Head Start and School-Based. The mission of Head Start is to promote self-sufficiency by providing quality, comprehensive child and family development services. The city of Phoenix serves about 3,000 low-income children each year. The program has about 450 employees, including both city employees and those who work for Head Start’s 14 delegate agencies. Head Start’s dedication to racial, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity is reflected in its employees, who represent the rich heritage of Arizona. Head Start provides services in education, health, nutrition, parent involvement, social services and mental health. At least 10 percent of all openings are reserved for children with disabilities. Typically, at least 13 percent of the children in the program are disabled or have other special needs.

CLICK TO SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Editorials Monday, June 4, 2001 should be forever joined The issue: Should the battleship Missouri be moved from her present mooring? When USS Missouri was brought here and moored to a pier at Ford Island close to the Arizona Memorial, that was to have been a temporary berth until a permanent site could be built. Now it appears that Missouri may be kept where she is or moved only a short distance away. The preference in this corner is that Missouri remain in place or be moved to a spot within sight of the Arizona Memorial. In addition, the two memorials should be integrated into a grand national monument by the National Park Service, the Missouri Memorial Association and the United States Navy. The park service administers the Arizona Memorial; the Missouri association is a private, nonprofit group; and the Navy supports them both. A combined Arizona-Missouri memorial could be arranged with relative ease, even with bureaucratic obstacles to be overcome. It would begin with a revision of the movie shown at the Arizona visitor's center that depicts the Japanese surprise attack on Dec. 7, 1941. The narrative would move swiftly from that day through a summary of the war in the Pacific and end with the ceremony in which the Japanese surrendered aboard Missouri at anchor in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945. Then visitors would be taken by a Navy shuttle boat, as now, across the harbor to the graceful white bridge spanning the sunken Arizona. After that, they would again board the shuttle boat to go directly to Missouri. When that tour was finished, the shuttle boat would return to the visitor's center. This journey would eliminate the present cumbersome bus ride from the visitor's center around to Ford Island.

Search Rethinking Schools Help Home Archive Volume 13, No. 1 - Fall 1998 New Battlegrounds New Battlegrounds As charters and voucher schools decry the "burdens" of special education, advocates for students with disabilities prepare to defend hard-won rights By Christine Stoneman "My child may be deaf, but she is not a burden!" cries Milwaukee parent Susan Endress. Endress made the comment after the City of Milwaukee announced that its charter schools do not bear the "burden" of providing special education services to students with disabilities. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has threatened to withhold funding for charter schools that do not provide such services, setting the stage for a showdown with the city. Several miles away in her north side apartment, Viola Beacham ponders her decision to return her son to the Milwaukee Public Schools. The private school for which she had received a state-funded voucher wasn't providing the services he needed for his speech/language and learning disabilities. Pat Patterson, meanwhile, makes unanswered calls to some of Milwaukee's private voucher schools seeking, so far in vain, for them to take her two severely disabled sons. "This is a public program," says this long-time mentor and advocate for African-American parents of students with disabilities. "Why shouldn't they have to take my children and provide the help they need?"

Adopted by Arizona voters, 7 November 2000 Proposition 203 English Language Education for Children in Public Schools Summary: Requires that all public school instruction be conducted in English. Children not fluent in English shall normally be placed in an intensive one-year English immersion program to teach them the language as quickly as possible while also learning academic subjects. Parents may request a waiver of these requirements for children who already know English, are ten years or older, or have special needs best suited to a different educational approach. Normal foreign language programs are completely unaffected. Enforcement lawsuits by parents and guardians are permitted. Text: Sec. 1. Findings and Declarations The People of Arizona find and declare: The English language is the national public language of the United States of America and of the state of Arizona. It is spoken by the vast majority of Arizona residents, and is also the leading world language for science, technology, and international business, thereby being the language of economic opportunity; and Immigrant parents are eager to have their children acquire a good knowledge of English, thereby allowing them to fully participate in the American Dream of economic and social advancement; and
