format this article to print SISTERS OF THE INCARNATE WORD AND BLESSED SACRAMENT. The Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, founded in 1625 in Lyons, France, was the second group of Catholic educators to move to Texas. When Bishop Jean Marie Odin qv asked for volunteers to work in the Texas missions, four sisters offered their services, and with Frances (Sister Superior St. Claire) Valentine qv they arrived in Galveston on June 29, 1852. They remained with the Ursuline Sisters qv for several months studying English and Spanish before going to Brownsville in March 1853. The sisters' first house was a small one-story warehouse; later they secured the loan of a four-room house. By November their first convent was completed, and a boarding and day school was conducted. At the request of Bishop Claude Marie Dubuis qv Sister St. Claire, along with volunteers from Europe, opened an independent house, Nazareth Academy, in Victoria on January 7, 1867. The sisters took part in a "community system" from 1874 to 1895, when parents petitioned for a public school in their community. When a demand was made for the nuns to wear secular clothes, the arrangement with the sisters ended. During this time they also opened a school for African Americans, qv BIBLIOGRAPHY: Catholic Archives of Texas. Mother M. Patricia Gunning, I.W.B.S.

The class action suit, Leeper v. Arlington Indep. School Dist. , No. 17-88761-85 Tarrant County 17th Judicial Ct. Apr. 13, 1987), resulted in a trial level decision in favor of home schooling.

26. ACLU Of Texas Position On School Vouchers The average per public expenditure for public schools in texas is less than effective a voucher scheme would have to allow payments to go to parochial schools. http://www.aclutx.org/pubed/positionpapers/vouchers.htm

The ACLU of Texas Position Proponents of school vouchers tout the giving of money to private schools as the panacea for education in America. They proclaim that it is nothing more than giving people a freedom of educational choice. "Freedom of choice" has a nice ring when applied to any human activity. As an abstraction it is something almost all of us feel comfortable with. But, as they say, the devil is in the details. Why should we oppose giving public money to private schools to educate children? Why not let parents choose which school they believe would be best for their children and let the taxpayer pick up the tab? Voucher Schemes Are Undemocratic Education is not just for children. All society has a stake in the educational system. After all, this generation of children will be the next generation of adult citizens who will make decisions on the directions this country will take. They will be molded by whatever education they receive. Even those without children or those whose children have left school have a vested interest in public education. Educational decisions affect all of us. Public education is essential to our democracy. Indeed, it is the glue that holds our diverse society together. All efforts to divert public money to private educational institutions will quite simply dilute the democratic nature of public education and ultimately will have serious and dangerous repercussions in the body politic. Because of the important stake we all have in education we have given the people, through locally elected school boards, the power to implement educational policies and generally control the educational process. Private schools have no such public oversight on their operations.

Provisional Enrollment: A Topic that has Generated Controversy in Texas Schools By Monica Gamez All school children in Texas are required to have the immunizations as set forth in the Texas Education Code, Title 2, Chapter 25, §25.002 and the Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Title 25 Health Services, Part I, Chapter 97, Subchapter B, §97.61-§97.77. The immunization requirements are adopted as a statewide control measure for communicable disease as defined in the Health and Safety Code, §81.081 and §81.082. The requirements apply to all children and students entering, attending, enrolled in, and/or transferring to child-care facilities, public schools, private schools, or parochial schools. Rule §97.71 (TAC) entitled Provisional Enrollment states: “The law requires that students be fully immunized against specified diseases. A student may, however, be admitted provisionally if he or she has begun the required immunizations and if he or she continues to receive necessary immunizations as rapidly as medically feasible. If a student transfers from one school to another, a grace period of no more than 30 days may be allowed at the new school while awaiting the transfer of the immunization record, during which the student may be enrolled provisionally.” The Texas Education Code §38.001(e) states, “A person may be provisionally admitted to an elementary or secondary school if the person has begun the required immunizations and if the person continues to receive the necessary immunizations as rapidly as is medically feasible. The Texas Department of Health shall adopt rules relating to the provisional admission of persons to an elementary or secondary school.”

Homeschool Law in Texas A. History B. Leeper, and the law today C. Curriculum D. Curfews E. 1999 Legislature F. About the author The following is an outline of a speech presented on April 28, 1999. Homeschool Law in Texas History Public school attendance was not mandatory in Texas until 1916. Prior to the passage of a compulsory education law, no more than 10% of school-age children attended public schools. Because there were few private and parochial schools, many children were taught at home. In the 1916-1917 school year, the first compulsory attendance law required children between age 8 and 14 years of age to attend public school for 60 days. The next year, the required number of days increased to 80. The next year, the requirement increased to 100 days. Parents were responsible for assuring that children complied and failure to do so was a misdemeanor punishable by a fine. A child who refused to attend school could be disciplined by the juvenile court as a habitual truant. The law authorized the appointment of attendance officers to enforce its provisions. The first compulsory attendance law exempted "any child in attendance upon a private or parochial school or who is being properly instructed by a private tutor." In 1923, the reference to private tutors was deleted, and instead the statute exempted "any child in attendance upon a private or parochial school which shall include in its course a study of good citizenship, and shall make the English language the basis of instruction in all subjects". In 1971, the English language restriction was dropped.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE CALCULATION ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS In reviewing the GPA policy passed by the Board, and in studying the established intent of the policy, the following administrative regulations shall apply: Earned GPA The Ranking GPA is the calculation that will be used to determine a final rank in class. Because of the confusion of using the terms Earned GPA and Ranking GPA, the Ranking GPA will be referred to as a Ranking Index Transfer Courses - While the policy does not specifically identify a process for handling transfer courses, the policy is clear in stating that "foundation courses will be calculated whether the student took the class during the regular school year, in summer school, by correspondence, by course exam, or by dual enrollment." The intent is clear that foundation courses transferred in from other public schools would be counted as part of the established 16 courses (32 semesters). For states or schools that do not use numeric grades, a conversion process will be established. Additionally, the only Honors, PreAP, or AP transfer courses that will be recognized for weighted points will be those courses that also carry weighted points for DISD students. Ties Conversions - As grades are received from non-DISD institutions, it may become necessary to convert grades from colleges, exams, public or private schools to the DISD system. Since the systems used at outside institutions vary, different conversion methods may be needed. The district shall always encourage the non DISD institution to supply numeric grades based on the DISD system; however, in the event numeric grades are not provided, the following conversions shall apply to these specific situations:

FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE SCHOOL VOUCHER EFFORTS PROMOTED IN KEY STATES Will taxpayers end up footing the bill for religious schools? Voucher schemes in several state threaten to divert public money from education budgets into the coffers of sectarian groups. Under the ruse of "scholarships" and "parental choice," the integrity of public education is being eroded. Web Posted: March 11,1999 n Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and elsewhere, a new effort is underway to enact state level voucher legislation which critics say will end up putting religious schools on the public assistance roles. The scheme involves the use of tuition vouchers, rebates or tax credits which permit parents to choose whether to keep their children in public schools, or use the money for private and religious institutions. The vouchers are sometimes described with euphemisms such as "opportunity scholarships." The road to enact voucher legislation on capitol hill has been a rough one; what appears to have fueled the current wave of state voucher proposals has been frustration with Washington, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision last year to uphold a Milwaukee voucher program. In JACKSON v. BENSON, Wisconsin's highest court ruled that public funding of sectarian education did not violate the state's prohibition against support of religious institutions. Instead, justices attempted to argue that the voucher program was what the Freedom Forum described as "a neutral educational assistance program that did not amount to government advancement of religious education."

Attitudes Toward Information Technology at Two Parochial Schools in North Texas Technical Report 97.2 Texas Center for Educational Technology Telecommunications and Informatics Laboratory Lab Director: Gerald Knezek Research Associate: Rhonda Christensen October 23, 1997 Introduction This report compares attitudes toward information technology of students and teachers at two parochial schools in North Texas. One school is located in Dallas, while the other is in Tyler. The Dallas school is all female while the Tyler school is coeducational. Both offer high school diplomas to students who have completed grade 12. Teachers and students at the Dallas site completed questionnaires in May 1996 and again in May 1997. Students and teachers at the Tyler school completed questionnaires in May 1997. Teachers completed the Teacher's Attitudes Toward Computers Questionnaire ( TAC ) and the Teacher's Attitudes Toward Information Technology Questionnaire ( TAT ). Students completed the Computer Attitude Questionnaire ( CAQ ) with the Electronic Mail subscale from the TAC and the additional attitudes toward school items attached. Student findings are reported in the first portion of the report, while teacher findings are addressed in the later portion.
