All patients had a temperature of at least 101 F (38.3 C), a rash of at least 3 days' duration, and at least 1 of the following: cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, or Koplik's spots. Twelve cases were confirmed by a 4-fold rise in complement fixation (11) or hemagglutination inhibition (1) antibody titers between acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens. Rash onset occurred between April 11 and May 8 in 154 (70.3%) of the cases. Patients ranged in age from 3 months to 36 years. The largest number of cases, 81 (37.0%), occurred among 15-19 year olds followed by 67 among 0-4 year olds (Table 1). Of these 67 pre-school patients, only 9 (13.4%) attended day-care centers.

On April 28, 776 (34.3%) of the 2,265 students at that high school were identified as being susceptible, and a special clinic was conducted at the school on the morning of April 29. Only 6 cases were reported after the clinic date, and no cases were reported 14 days or more (1 incubation period) after the measles vaccination clinic.

R E T U R N Vouchers Voucher programs allow public tax dollars to be used for religious and private school tuition. Vouchers harm our neighborhood public schools by funneling tax dollars out of classrooms, especially those that most need these scarce resources. But vouchers also threaten the autonomy of private and parochial schools by imposing government regulations on these institutions. The Texas Freedom Network supports pro-public education measures that will help all Texas children, not risky voucher plans that would benefit a few at the expense of the majority of children and taxpayers.

In its general charitable purposes, a community foundation is much like a private foundation; its funds, however, are derived from many donors rather than a single source, as is usually the case with private foundations. Further, community foundations are usually classified under the tax code as public charities and therefore are subject to different rules and regulations than those which govern private foundations. (The site(s) listed below are launched in new browsers.) Amarillo Area Foundation The Amarillo Area Foundation of Texas was established in 1957 to meet the needs of underserved communities in the northernmost 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. The foundation does not limit its discretionary grantmaking to a particular area of interest. Rather, it seeks to support the entire range of human needs in the Panhandle. The foundation manages hundreds of funds in the form of donor-advised funds, scholarships, unrestricted funds, and project funds. In general, the foundation does not fund religious or political causes; private of parochial schools; national, state, or local fundraising activities; or general operating support for United Way agencies. The foundation's Web site features a history of the foundation, board/staff lists, grant application criteria, application guidelines, printable application form, deadlines, and FAQs.

Texas School Performance Review Falls City Independent School District August 2001 Chapter 1 DISTRICT ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT This chapter examines Falls City Independent School District's (FCISD) organization, management and community involvement four sections: A. Board Governance B. District Management C. Personnel Management D. Community Involvement School boards are responsible for setting policies that are carried out by the administration. To determine the effectiveness of a district's organization and management, it is necessary to evaluate it against several critical factors. An efficient and logical organizational structure supports an effective planning, budgeting and improvement process that ensures that district resources are used efficiently and support the district's goals. BACKGROUND FCISD is a small district with 338 students in 2000-01 that is managed by a superintendent, a high school principal and an elementary principal. The present Falls City Independent School District was organized in 1949 as Falls City Common Consolidated County Line School District. The district was organized by consolidating smaller "Common" districts and parochial schools including Falls City, Hobson, Ehlers (in Wilson County), Deweesville, Laake, Cestohowa, Holy Trinity Parochial School of Falls City and Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parochial School of Cestohowa. An agreement was reached with the parochial schools that the newly formed school system would employ certified teachers from their schools. Consequently, nuns of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament and the order of Felician Sisters taught in the consolidated system into the 1990's.

November 1998 From the Top Weighing the 'choices' Vouchers, local control will be hot topics under the Capitol dome by George H. McShan It seems only yesterday I began my presidency, and now we are at the end of the calendar year. I am eternally grateful to the TASB Board of Trustees for its vote of confidence in giving me the opportunity to lead this great organization. You can be assured that I am totally committed and dedicated to bringing about systemic changes for improving public schools. It is my expectation that the end result will be nothing less than educational excellence for all children. This must be our focus, and, by working together as a team, we can meet the challenges facing public education in Texas. Whirlwind of activity. In a short three months, a lot of things have happened. The TASB Planning and Development Committee, working with Association Executive Director James B. Crow and staff, recently met in Austin and drafted the Strategic Plan for this year. Potentially the most significant change on the state level has been the voters’ election of a new lieutenant governor—Republican Rick Perry. The lieutenant governor position was a post held for many years by the retiring Honorable Bob Bullock. The Texas Senate will have a new leader, and we as school board members must make our voice heard to this new leadership. We must be strong advocates for the 1998-2000 Legislative Program that was approved by the TASB Delegate Assembly.

The pompous expert on everybody else's behavior suffered some deflation this spring. First, there were published reports that the former secretary of education and federal drug czar suffered from a not-very-virtuous gambling compulsion that had cost him millions in losses at major casinos. Then, his attempt to cash in on a growing effort in the Texas Legislature to privatize education failed, despite an investment of thousands of additional dollars on a small army of lobbyists. But with legislators expected to return this fall or next year for a special session on school finance, Bennett likely will be back, part of a lengthening line of "education" entrepreneurs seeking to siphon off tax dollars that would be better spent on public school teachers and classrooms.

Supporters of the bill say Texas needs to wake up to the realities of a failing public school system, while critics contend the voucher system is just another way to devalue public education. Jackson Allers has more on the debate: STORY: Houston area State Representative, Democrat Ron Wilson, is openly critical of those who oppose his school voucher legislation.

The Fort Worth Independent School District, which is one of the worst managed organizations on Earth, has decided to attack private and Church schools. They don't like competition of any kind.Church schools do not have to meet the same requirments as public schools do since they are privately funded and they fall under exeptions from the religious freedoms restoration act. Fort Worth Can Academy, a FWISD alternative school has no certified teachers employed, and tells ever student to not go to any private or religious school. They are told to inform all students by Mrs. garcia that church schools and parochial, private schools are not true schools since they are not part of the state. Should we just take this? Our school district started in 1898. The Old Roman catholic School District. I wonder whaat FWISD was doing in 1898?
