"To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society" -Theodore Roosevelt- IMPORTANT INFORMATION NEW! PRESS RELEASE WE WON! THE CHILDREN OF ARIZONA WIN IN SUPREME COURT LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THEM BY THE ARIZONA TEACHERS UNION (AEA) For Immediate Release Date: January 26, 1999 Contact: ChamBria Joi Henderson Phone: (602)497-4564 Fax: (602)832-8853 Arizona Supreme Court Upholds Tax Credit Phoenix, Arizona - In April of 1997, the Arizona Legislature and the Governor of Arizona joined together and passed the historic and revolutionary Voluntary Tuition Tax Credit legislation. Today, 3 of the 5 Arizona Supreme Court Justices have declared it constitutional. To all who understand the specifics and implications of this legislation, there is abiding conviction that it will be upheld in the US Supreme Court, and that a new day has dawned in America. The bill is both simple and profound. It will allow taxpayers to receive up to a $500 tax credit when they make private, voluntary contributions to charities that use at least 90 percent of the money to provide private scholarships for children in Arizona to attend the school of their parents' choice. Even the poorest child now becomes royalty in the system. In the past, only wealthy parents could afford their children such opportunity.

Recruiting Support Personnel as Partners in Teaching Community Excellence The context: As many as 90% of educational support personnel are recruited from the communities in which they work, compared to 40% of teachers. In addition to being part of the school community, educational support personnel reflect the ethnic, racial and socioeconomic diversity of the students they serve. Students benefit when schools, parents, and community members work together on their behalf. Educational support personnel are in an ideal position to strengthen education by promoting good communication between the school and the community. School Renewal Through Building a Learning Community with All School Personnel Educational support personnel are taking on new roles in schools. With the help of their educational support personnel, schools are making dramatic changes in the way they serve children and their families. The educational support personnel are key players in new programs, serve new roles in health and safety and have new responsibilities as decision-makers. Specially trained educational support personnel work as "parent resource coordinators" in Richmond, Virginia. They design activities that support parent involvement. Parent coordinators encourage parents to become active in the PTA, sponsor a GED program, and participate in weekly parent workshops.
