Allegan Lansing, Michigan 48933 Dear Mr. Watkins: Based on the Michigan law Mr. Dinning cites, it appears that Michigan does not allow school boards to release minutes of disciplinary proceedings without personally identifying the student. As noted above, there are no exceptions to the prior consent rule in FERPA that permit local school boards to disclose the results of a disciplinary proceeding that identifies a student by name, student number, or by inclusion of other personally identifiable information about a student. As such, local Michigan school boards are in violation of FERPA to the extent that they have a policy or practice of releasing or otherwise making public minutes that contain the name of a student, a student's number, or other personally identifiable information about a student who is referenced in a disciplinary proceeding, without the written consent of the student's parent.

Report card. At first blush this seems astounding. How can so many schools do such good work, and yet fail so many children? This can’t be right. This isn’t the first time we have seen perfect self-assessment scores. In 1995, the State Board of Education issued its first accreditation report. As part of accreditation schools graded themselves on 110 standards. Guess what? Almost every school passed every standard. In fact, perfect rankings were so universal that by 1999 the accreditation system was modified to discount self-assessment entirely. So here we go again.

The Michigan Department of Education and intermediate school districts should support administrators and teachers in their efforts to align local curriculum frameworks with the state core content standards. On Performance and Assessment: 3. The Michigan Department of Education should complete the process of aligning the MEAP with the recommended content standards as soon as possible. 4. Businesses should use the HSPT results as criteria in hiring employees; colleges and universities should use HSPT results as criteria in admitting students. 5. The Michigan Department of Education should communicate its documentation that the HSPT is a valid and reliable indicator of academic achievement to the public, institutions of higher education, and businesses.

31. Adult Education Under Attack In Michigan endorses the transfer of adult education funds from the Department of educationto the local Workforce Development boards via the michigan Jobs Commission. . http://www.wsws.org/public_html/prioriss/iwb5-6/adulted.htm

To return to the current issue's index Adult education under attack in Michigan By Shannon Jones THE MICHIGAN legislature is moving to a final vote on a measure supported by Republican Governor John Engler that would all but eliminate adult education programs in the state. Engler has proposed slashing funding from the current level of $185 million to $65 million. Just four years ago the state spent $375 million annually on adult education. Under terms of the bill, only $15 million in adult education money will go to local school districts. The balance will go to training programs run by the Michigan Jobs Commission. All those over age 20 will be barred from receiving free adult education. Instead they will have to enroll in state sponsored job training. Faced with the prospect of a huge reduction in state funding, school districts across Michigan have started sending out layoff notices to their adult education staff. The Detroit Board of Education has laid off all 400 adult education teachers and administrators, effective the end of the current school year. The Detroit school system stands to lose $25 million, 70 percent of its funding. Administrators say they are faced with having to shut down the entire program. The Detroit schools have had an adult education program since 1875. There are 28,000 students currently enrolled in adult education classes and 2,000 are expected to receive high school or general equivalency diplomas this year. Forty percent of those enrolled in Detroit are parents or guardians of public school students.

36. Putting Values In Classroom, Carefully michigan is a trend setter in education, said Anne L. Bryant, the executive directorof the National School boards Association, which is based in Alexandria http://personal.ecu.edu/estesst/2323/Readings/charactereducation.html

October 23, 1996 New York Times Putting Values in Classroom, Carefully By KEITH BRADSHER WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. When a public elementary school here in this affluent Detroit suburb recently adopted a policy of "character education," every class was to spend a few weeks on each of several values: respect, citizenship, caring, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness and justice. The problem was how to teach good citizenship, for example, as part of every subject from art to gym. The art teachers ended up assigning a color to each virtue purple for respect and blue for good citizenship and devised projects like color-coded paper dolls. The gym teachers invented a game in which second graders take turns as good citizens and bad citizens throwing balls over a low volleyball net. The game is rigged so that the good guys always win. "The moral of our game is, if you're a good citizen, you always come out on top," Sheryl Schmidt, the physical education instructor, told her class. Values like good citizenship and respect for others, once confined to social studies classes if taught at all are becoming a formal part of the curriculum in more and more public schools across the nation. The approach coincides with rising national interest in values and education, as shown by the recent presidential and vice-presidential debates.

First Amendment Today, schools across the country are teaching students what to think — whether about the environment, the war or social policy. A High School International Affairs Program Crosses the Line to Propagandizing “Learn today . . . Lead tomorrow”.  That is the public relations campaign motto adopted this year by the Michigan School Public Relations Association, the Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan Education Association.  A good motto in principle, but a terrible one in practice if the public school students are learning lessons that undermine American values and leadership. A perfect example comes from the Farmington, Michigan, Public Schools.  At a school board meeting this month, the board approved (4-3) a curriculum change that eliminates the requirement for 12 th grade American government, replacing it with an International Affairs program that includes on its menu of courses a class on terrorism, with the strong implication that the U.S. is the terrorist. Yes, you read that right, “terrorism.”  With a majority of newly graduated young adults leaving high school without the democratic principles that encourage them to vote, it is astounding that this school district would eliminate the teaching of American government, civics and economics to 12

The Standards: What are the Standards? See http://www.michigan.gov/documents/elstandards_21890_7.doc for complete listing of standards. This document describes entry-level standards for beginning teachers in Michigan. Each sets the foundation for and complements subject area proficiencies. These standards were developed because: Prospective teachers need to be aware of the knowledge and skills they are expected to gain and develop during their teacher preparation program; Institutions of higher education approved to prepare teachers need to know Michigan's expectations for competent entry-level performance; Local school boards and school administrators need to know what skills they can expect to be demonstrated by student teachers and those new to the profession; Local school districts, parents, professional organizations, and public and private agencies need to know what is expected of beginning teachers in order to determine what programs or services to develop or offer for assistance and support; and The general public needs to know that agencies and institutions responsible for the administration and implementation of teacher preparation programs are preparing candidates with the basic proficiencies to teach.
