What is the plan and who decides the plan? Will they bid out the work? Why should we consider remodeling when it is more cost efficient to replace? Would a short-term renovation provide us with a short-term solution until we can foresee future trends? How soon will new buildings be deteriorating? If all district-wide school renovations must include all ADA / accessibility and special needs accommodations and facilities, how would this affect the Hayes enrollment, considering that Hayes is a special-needs focused facility at present? Currently, Lakewood elementary schools are limited to the number of buildings that have full accessibility for special needs students. When planning for the future, please consider expanding the number of school buildings to include handicapped facilities so children can attend their neighborhood school and are not limited to 1 or 2 buildings to receive appropriate education. Thank you. Concerned about accessibility How are the special needs kids going to continue?

48. A Choice Hearing occurred when Justice Sandra Day O Connor noted that the ohio law does years, huge numbers of nonCatholic students have attended parochial schools, as they do http://home.att.net/~tbe/schoolreformers8.htm

A Choice Hearing From the SchoolReformers.com editor, David W. Kirkpatrick DaveK@SchoolReformers.com February 27, 2002 Discuss this column On February 20, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on the constitutionality of the Cleveland Scholarship and Tuitioning Program. Appearing before news cameras after the hearing, lawyers for both sides expressed optimism. However, both on and off camera, the program's defenders were more enthusiastic. Many observers thought that the judges' questions indicate a majority might uphold the law, but questions may not predict votes. However, the arguments during the forty minutes allotted to each side provided some objective evidence for this optimistic view. The National Education Association's (NEA) attorney did not use his full time, and questions from the Court did not fill the excess, so some was surrendered unused. The American Federation of Teachers' attorney fared even worse. He so strayed from the issue that Chief Justice Rehnquist took away half of his 20 minutes. Such occurrences rarely happen. For both to occur in one presentation, especially one of such controversy and importance, may be unprecedented.

49. Court To Rule On Vouchers The ohio case is the most important educational opportunity case since the pressure of taxpayersubsidized competition from private and parochial schools. http://home.att.net/~tbe/washingtonpost6.htm

Court to Rule on Vouchers Ruling in Ohio Case Could Affect Other States' Decisions By Charles Lane Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, September 26, 2001; Page A02 The Supreme Court announced yesterday that it will decide whether the Constitution permits the use of public funds for tuition at private and religious schools, a bitterly debated question whose resolution by the justices could reshape American education. The case before the court involves a program created by the Ohio legislature in 1995 to cope with the near-breakdown of Cleveland's public schools. It provides a maximum of $2,250 each to about 3,700 mostly low-income students whose parents prefer to send them to private nonsectarian schools, religious schools or suburban public schools. Ohio is one of three states Wisconsin and Florida are the others that have such a "voucher" or "school choice" plan. Uncertainty over the constitutionality has been one factor deterring other states and the federal government from experimenting with vouchers. But if the Supreme Court were to approve Ohio's plan, that deterrent would disappear. The idea could spread; polls show support for school choice among parents in many distressed urban school systems.

Friday May 16, 1997 - Thursday May 22, 1997 Printer Friendly Email to A Friend Friday May 16, 1997 Cleveland's tax-based private school vouchers nixed JORDAN F. LUBETKIN Cleveland Jewish News Cleveland's pilot voucher program granting parents tax-funded vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools is unconstitutional, the Ohio's 10th District Court of Appeals has ruled. The vouchers violate the separation of church and state clauses in the Ohio and U.S. Constitutions, ruled Judge John Young, joined by Judges Dana Deshler and Peggy Bryant. While supporters of public education, teachers unions and civil-liberties advocates have welcomed the decision, Jewish organizations locally and nationally have mixed reactions to the court's decision. Started last fall, Cleveland's pilot program grants tuition vouchers of up to $2,250 each to 1,994 poor Cleveland children who attend kindergarten through third grade. The vouchers, redeemable at the private or parochial school of the student's choice, have transplanted $5.5 million from Cleveland's 70,000-student public-school system to private and parochial schools. Children now in the program will continue through the end of the school year. But the program's future is uncertain, even though the biennial budget for Ohio includes funding to expand the program next year to include 3,000 children in kindergarten through fourth grade.

Friday November 1, 1996 - Thursday November 7, 1996 Printer Friendly Email to A Friend Friday November 1, 1996 Cleveland school voucher pilot program upheld by court JORDAN F. LUBETKIN Cleveland Jewish News CLEVELAND (JTA) A district judge has upheld the constitutionality of Cleveland's pilot voucher program which grants parents tax-funded tuition vouchers to send their children to private and parochial schools. Jewish and civil rights groups have expressed mixed reactions to the decision. The Cleveland program grants 1,500 disadvantaged Cleveland children up to $2,250 per year per child. The money can be used in the school of their choice, including private and parochial schools, and participating public schools in adjoining districts. While similar voucher programs are being tested around the country, Cleveland's program is the only one that allows money to go to religious schools. The decision, handed down by Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Lisa L. Sadler, marked a major step forward for school choice supporters, and dealt a blow to the program's opponents, who have included teachers unions and civil rights advocacy groups. "For a long time I've thought that vouchers were the way to go," says Rabbi Samuel J. Levine, educational director at Fuchs Bet Sefer Mizrachi. "Vouchers have worked in other countries which value the separation of church and state," he adds, citing England and the Netherlands as countries that have successfully implemented voucher programs.

Our History Vision 2000 Board of Trustees Press Releases ... SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP Preserving Historic School Buildings Prepared by Martha J. Raymond, Technical Preservation Services Department Head, and Barbara A. Powers, Planning, Inventory, and Registration Department Head, Ohio Historic Preservation Office Many Ohio communities treasure their historic school buildings as centers for neighborhood or community activity, symbols of civic pride, and often as local architectural landmarks. At the same time, communities face the challenge of ensuring that older school buildings meet the needs of today’s students and teachers. Meeting the challenge requires good planning, knowledge of preservation tools, and, at times, creative design solutions. Here are some ideas to help your community plan for the long-term preservation of historic school buildings, for continued school use or adapted for new uses. Planning for Rehabilitation - Some Helpful References The Historic Schools Technical Assistance Consortium, Final Report presents the findings of the Columbus Landmarks Foundations-sponsored consortium of architects, engineers, construction managers, and educational planners who volunteered their efforts and produced an excellent document about the renovation of historic school buildings. As stated in the publication, "The Consortium's goal was to conduct an in-depth study of selected historic schools in the Columbus Public School district in an effort to demonstrate that the renovation of such buildings can achieve a high standard of educational adequacy at a cost that is less than new construction." While the focus is on Columbus schools, the approach to the study and the design solutions will be beneficial to hisotric schools throughout Ohio.

56. The Supreme School Board By PAUL E. PETERSON - Education Next - Summer 2002 conclude that parochial schools are so good that school choice in Cleveland is meaningless, charter schools—known as community schools in ohio—were called http://www.educationnext.org/20022/34.html

Hoover Home About Hoover Research Publications ... Involvement The Supreme School Board by PAUL E. PETERSON The waiting line to hear oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court formed the night before February 20. Anyone joining after 5 A.M. never got in—except those given special seating, including such notables as Senator Edward Kennedy, Health and Human Services secretary Tommy Thompson, and former White House counsel C. Boyden Gray. It was well worth the wait. Persistent questioning, passionate debate, direct self-contradictions, an electric atmosphere—all were there. As the 80-minute conversation came to an end, a pro-voucher resolution seemed to have just barely emerged, the outcome turning as much on educational facts as constitutional questions. The Court seemed as much a national school board as an interpreter of the Constitution’s Establishment Clause. Questions seldom focused on past jurisprudence—probably because earlier decisions have constructed a wall of separation between church and state as serpentine as the one Thomas Jefferson designed for the University of Virginia’s campus. Instead, the day’s focus was on vouchers, charter schools, and the woeful state of public education in Cleveland. The justices seemed to realize that they were discussing the future of low-income, inner-city children, not just fine points of legal doctrine. It was Justice David Souter who first posed the central question to Ohio assistant attorney general Judith French: “Isn’t it true that something like 99 percent of the students who were receiving these vouchers are in religious schools?” Such restricted choice was very different from the “choice from [among] the great universe of colleges and universities,” where federal aid to religious institutions has been generally regarded as constitutional.

ENQUIRER POST WCPO CIN WEEKLY ... Customer Service Currently: Cloudy Weather Traffic HOME NEWS ... Newsroom Directory Sunday, May 12, 2002 Ohio families await voucher ruling The Associated Press CLEVELAND The status of more than 4,500 children in Roman Catholic schools awaits the court's decision, expected by July. About 46 percent of students in the 32 Cleveland parochial schools that participate in the pilot program use vouchers to pay their tuition. At Blessed Sacrament School, 77 percent receive vouchers. The program is at the center of a constitutional showdown on whether it is legal to use public money for tuition at religious schools. A ruling is expected by July. Students in the program received vouchers this school year worth up to $2,250. Tuition levels at most Catholic schools in the city were below that cap, averaging about $1,391. Public school is an option for some parents, but they may not consider it the best one. The overwhelming number of parents said they wanted to stay in Catholic schools, but three-quarters said they would not be able to afford the tuition without vouchers, Sister Smith said. Most said they could pay something if it meant their child could continue. Critics of vouchers charge the real motivation for the program was to subsidize struggling Catholic schools and said the program violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
