Show of Strength in Mississippi ... Auto-Pilot ... Charter Voice on CA Board ... Building Excellent Schools Spare the School, Despoil the Child New York Post Editorial , January 30, 2004 "Because Reisenbach is a charter school, not a traditional public school, something can be done about its chronic and abysmal failures: It can be shut.

Newswire - January 27, 2004 A Bridge to a Charter School: City Offers Campus Space in Return for Assistance By Justin Blum , Washington Post , January 25, 2004 "What we're seeing now is a recognition that the District itself cannot handle . . . everything it needs to do by itself in a centralized way," said Jeanne Allen of the Center for Education Reform, a Washington-based group that supports charter schools.

Charter Schools in Tennessee Law: Passed July 2002. Rank : 9th weakest of the nation's 40 charter laws CER Grade : C Schools Students POLITICS: CELEBRATE : Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee is one of eight U.S. Congressional leaders serving as honorary co-chairs of the Congressional Salute to Charter Schools in conjunction with the fourth annual National Charter Schools Week , April 28-May 2, 2003. The co-chairs will participate in various events showcasing the importance of charter schools in improving all schools. A WAYS TO GO: Tennessee debuts as a low "C" on CER's Charter Law Scorecard with local board-only approval, limited autonomy, and a weak appeals process. The new charter law has a long way to go if the movement in Tennessee is to be sustained and successful. Charter School Laws Across the States: Ranking Scorecard and Legislative Profiles , January 2003. IN NAME ONLY: Tennessee's charter school bill was signed into law last week on Independence Day, ironically, given the law's clear lack of freedom for potential charters. Not only does the new law limit the creation of new-starts to districts that have failing schools, it also has restrictions on which types of applications can be appealed to the state board. Despite reading versions much worse than what eventually ended up on the Governor's desk, there is still little to cheer. There is no automatic waiver from regulations and only school boards can approve charters. The children of Tennessee may have some new choices next year, but given the obstacles that marked the bill's deliberation, we're convinced the local school boards will not stop short of creating roadblocks. To review the entire bill, go to:

Welcome About Us Calendar of Events Getting Started Studying Abroad ... mtsu directory Parent Information Advice for Parents of Overseas-Bound College Students by Bill Hoffa The idea of traveling to other countries as part of one's higher education is nothing new. Scholars have been enriching their higher education through travel for centuries. What is different today is that study abroad is no longer a luxury for the rich, but instead, a reality for students who want to become prepared for the challenges of the twenty-first century. As a parent of a college or college-bound student, you may find yourself in the role of helping your child think through the many questions and issues she will face in making this often life-changing decision. Though decisions about when, where, and what to study overseas are usually made by students themselves, there are many supporting roles for parents to play to help their child in deciding whether to go, choosing a program, preparing for departure, ensuring a rewarding experience while abroad, and adjusting to life back at home. Here are some important considerations about choosing a program, determining when to go, and preparing to get the most out of the experience.
