Home Corner Articles Authors ... Print Version June 5, 2003, 9:15 a.m. Charter Tantrum The New York Times takes on President Bush through charter schools. By Chester E. Finn Jr. ove over New Yorker . Out of the way, Updike and Bellow. The New York Times is fast becoming one of America's foremost sources of fiction. Tuesday's "editorial observer" column by veteran Times man Francis X. Clines (" Re-educating the Voters About Texas' Schools ") abounds with such biased and erroneous allegations about charter schools in Texas (and beyond) as to prove once again that fealty to the facts wins no points at the nation's former "newspaper of record," especially if the untruths can be used to savage Republicans in general and George W. Bush in particular. The nominal point of Clines's tantrum is that charter schools — independently operated public schools, freed from many of the usual bureaucratic encumbrances — are sapping scarce resources from "real" public schools and putting them to no good use. Clines views charter schools as an education failure so enormous that it's forcing Texas to lower statewide academic standards. The subtext, however, says the education-reform initiatives that Bush launched in Texas — an energetic combination of standards, tests, consequences and competition — and then went national with via his signature "No Child Left Behind" act are not working in the state where they were piloted. The public-school establishment dislikes them. Hence readers are encouraged to conclude that the president is steering America in the wrong direction.

ENQUIRER POST WCPO CIN WEEKLY ... Customer Service Currently: Clear Weather Traffic HOME NEWS ... Newsroom Directory Friday, April 06, 2001 Teachers union challenges funding for charter schools By Travis James Tritten Enquirer Columbus Bureau COLUMBUS The Ohio Federation of Teachers plans to file a lawsuit within the next two to three weeks, which the union claims would be the first in the nation to challenge charter school funding. OFT President Tom Mooney announced the union's plans during the group's annual convention in Columbus. Charter schools receive state funding originally meant for public schools, but are not subject to the same standards. Because they are not held accountable to elected school boards and taxpayers, that amounts to taxation without representation, Mr. Mooney said. State funding of for-profit schools has created a separate school system, plagued with problems and abuses because of lower academic and operating standards, he said. The OFT cites academic performance, financial scandals, midyear closings and under-qualified teachers as proof that charter schools are failing. It might be too early to judge charter schools, responded the Ohio Department of Education.

106. CULTURAL HERITAGE CHARTERS AND STANDARDS A review of the principal UNESCO and ICOMOS charters and standards for the preservation of cultural heritage by J.K. Gillon. http://gillonj.tripod.com/culturalheritagechartersandstandards/

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Check out the NEW Hotbot Tell me when this page is updated CULTURAL HERITAGE CHARTERS AND STANDARDS JK GILLON CULTURAL HERITAGE CHARTERS AND STANDARDS The first attempt to establish a coherent and logically defensible philosophy for building conservation was in the Society for the Protection of Ancient Building's Manifesto of 1877. The Manifesto consists principally of a plea to "put protection in place of restoration", and only the last two paragraphs commend a philosophy of care. However, it is the relatively brief Manifesto statement that marks the starting point for the many later policy statements in which the underlying theme of the SPAB Manifesto is adopted and developed rather than being significantly amended. The Venice Charter was followed by a plethora of other standards, charters, formal recommendations and conventions relating to building conservation. These provide invaluable guidance for practitioners working in the field of building conservation and are an essential framework for good practice in the protection and enhancement of the historic environment. The most significant of these that have the approval of ICOMOS are: The Florence Charter on Historic Gardens (1982). Provides a definition of the term historic garden and the architectural compositions that constitute the historic landscape. It emphasises the need to identify and list historic gardens, and provides philosophical guidance on maintenance, conservation, restoration and reconstruction. It refers back to the Venice Charter for many of its principles.

111. 6/10/98 - News: Charter Schools Struggle With Accountability By and large, charter schools are required to meet the same academic standardsand use the same tests as other public schools in their states, according to http://www.edweek.org/ew/vol-17/39chart.h17

Read our story, "In Troubled Schools, Policy and Reality Collide," March 25, 1998. "Union's Charter School Project Emphasizes Research and Evaluation," March 11, 1998. For background, previous stories, and related Web links, please see our Issues Page on Charter Schools Charter Schools Struggle With Accountability By Lynn Schnaiberg Pauline McBeth says she has no problem being held accountable for how well her students perform. It's just part of the deal: Charter schools receive flexibility and freedom from cumbersome regulations in exchange for accepting greater responsibility for student results. But for Ms. McBeth, the coordinator of the 4-year-old Community Involved Charter School in Lakewood, Colo., figuring out just how that formula works is proving far from easy. The 260-student school is decidedly unconventional. Children learn in multiage classrooms. They do not receive letter grades or credits. Portfolios chart student learning. In Colorado and many other states with charter laws, such innovations and individualized curriculawhich some see as the very essence of the charter movementare having to contend with accountability systems based on standards and performance goals set at the state or district level. About This Series This is the eighth in an occasional series that will explore the push for accountability in public education.

MONDAY December 29, 2003 document.write(Banner("area=slt.local.position0/adsize=banner1",468,60)) Quick Search Utah Contents Weather Archives Utah Politics ... Privacy Policy Charter schools all meet goals By Ronnie Lynn The Salt Lake Tribune Utah charter schools scored a perfect 12 for 12 under new federal performance standards that recently dinged a third of the state's public schools. All twelve of the state's charter schools old enough to be subject to adequate yearly progress (AYP) requirements this year met their goals for student participation and achievement on state tests in language arts and math. Granted, most of the charters did not have the challenges of large enrollments or groups of at-risk students, unlike many of the 244 traditional public schools that missed their AYP goals under the federal No Child Left Behind law. Even so, charters' success could build political momentum to expand school choice during the 2004 legislative session, which begins next month. Lawmakers already have filed bills to loosen the state's charter-school law and authorize tax breaks for parents who pay private-school tuition. "For those who are skeptics and concerned about accountability as far as academics go, that will go a long way toward building support for charters," said Rep. Marda Dillree, R-Farmington, who is sponsoring a bill to establish a new board to approve charter applications.
