Extractions: The Learning First Alliance represents an unprecedented, self-initiated commitment by its members to work in concert to improve student learning. The Alliance will strive to deliver a common message to all parts of the education system, align priorities, share and disseminate success stories, encourage collaboration at every level, and work toward long-term systemic change based on solid research evidence. The Learning First Alliance is dedicated to learning from and responding to the people who provide public education on a daily basis, the members of our affiliate organizations. These teachers, principals, administrators, school board members, and parents see the challenges public education faces every day. Many have found ways to successfully raise student achievement. Others know change is needed, but don't know where to start reform in a system that seems bigger than they are. The Alliance is dedicated to helping those institutions and people who provide and govern public education work together to find the best way to respond to local challenges. National Leadership and Collaboration In January, 1998, the Alliance held its first Summit, bringing together more than 100 delegates from the Alliance organizations across the country. Committing to an intensive focus on improving reading and mathematics achievement, the Summit delegates determined joint objectives, shared best practices, and explored the most effective means of working together long-term to bring about real impact on student achievement.

Extractions: Web posted at: 10:08 p.m. EDT (0208 GMT) From Correspondent Brian Cabell TOPEKA, Kansas (CNN) A decision this week by the Kansas Board of Education to delete the teaching of evolution from the state's science curriculum has angered the mainstream science community in the United States. "This act ... took us back 100 years in science teaching and education," says Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "I hope the courts will be the one to find time to correct the decision." The board's decision doesn't require the teaching of creationism, nor does it forbid the teaching of evolution. The specific curriculum is left to the local school boards and to the teachers who now find themselves with questions.

Extractions: Home State Board of Education Facts about the Missouri State Board of Education Major Duties Members According to the Missouri Constitution, "The supervision of instruction in the public schools shall be vested in a state board of education ..." (Article IX, Section 2a). This provision gives the State Board of Education general authority for public education, within limits set by the General Assembly. ( See Section 161.022 through 161.102, RSMo, for the Board's statutory authority.) The Board is made up of eight citizens appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Members serve staggered, eight-year terms so that one term expires each year. No more than four members of the Board may belong to the same political party. No more than one member of the Board may reside in the same county or Congressional district. When terms expire, members continue to serve until being replaced or reappointed. The Board elects its own officers each year. The Board usually meets for two days each month in Jefferson City. Members receive $25 for each day of an official meeting. The Board's duties and responsibilities range from preschool to the postsecondary and adult levels. The Board does not have direct authority over higher education institutions. However, the Board sets standards for and approves professional programs for teachers and school administrators in Missouri's public and private higher education institutions.

March 12, 2002, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 3. March 13, 2002, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 4. March 19, 2002, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 5. March 20, 2002, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Background On January 8, 2002, the President signed Pub. L. 107-110, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Among other things, the NCLB Act reauthorizesfor a six-year periodprograms under Title I of the ESEA designed to help disadvantaged children reach high academic standards. Section 1901 of Title I requires that, before publishing any proposed regulations to implement programs under Title I, the Department obtain the advice and recommendations of representatives of State and local administrators, parents, teachers and paraprofessionals, members of local school boards, and other organizations involved with the implementation and operation of Title I programs. On January 18, 2002, the U.S. Secretary of Education published a notice in the Federal Register (67 FR 2770) requesting advice and recommendations on regulatory issues under Title I. In response to that notice, the Assistant Secretary received comments from more than 100 individuals and organizations. Section 1901 also requires the Department, after obtaining advice and recommendations and before publishing proposed regulations, to establish a negotiated rulemaking process on, at a minimum, issues relating to standards and assessments under Title I, Part A. The statute requires that the negotiators represent all geographic regions of the United States and an equitable balance between representatives of parents and students and representatives of educators and education officials. To convene a diverse negotiating group that represents a wide range of interests, the Assistant Secretary asked more than 70 organizations to submit nominations with their comments on regulatory issues. In addition, the Department received nominations from individuals and organizations that participated in focus groups held to solicit advice or who commented independently in response to the Federal Register notice. The Assistant Secretary has selected individuals to participate in the negotiated rulemaking process from among the individuals and organizations providing advice and recommendations in response to the Federal Register notice, including representation form all geographic regions of the United States and an equitable balance between representatives of parents and students and representatives of educators and education officials. The Assistant Secretary has also considered negotiators who would contribute to the diversity and expertise of the group. The following are the individuals who will participate in negotiated rulemaking and the interests they represent: [[Page 9224]] Representing State Administrators and State Boards of Education Judy Catchpole, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Wyoming Department of Education Jim Horne, Secretary of Education, Florida Department of Education Dr. Bob Harmon, Assistant State Superintendent for Special Programs, Washington Department of Public Instruction Rodney Watson, Assistant Superintendent, Office of Student and School Standards, Louisiana Department of Education Lou Fabrizio, Director, Division of Accountability Services, North Carolina Department of Education Rae Belisle, Chief Counsel, California State Board of Education Representing Local Administrators and Local School Boards Charlotte Harris, Senior Director of Program Development, Boston (MA) Public Schools, J. Alvin Wilbanks, Superintendent, Gwinnett County (GA), Public Schools, Beverly Carroll, Alachua County (FL) School Board, Nelson Smith, charter schools, Washington, DC. Representing Principals and Teachers Avis Cotton, Principal, Dardanelle (AR) Middle School, Enedelia Scholfield, Principal, W.L. Henry Elementary School, Hillsboro (OR), Patricia Fisher, Title I teacher, Hooker Public Schools (OK). Representing Students (Including At-risk Students, Migrant Students, Limited-English-Proficient Students, Students With Disabilities, and Private School Students): Tasha Tillman, parent, Colorado Springs (CO). Minnie Pearce, parent, Detroit (MI). Arturo Abarca, teacher, Helitrope Elementary School, Los Angeles Unified School District (CA). Maria Seidner, Director, Bilingual Education, Texas Education Agency. Dr. Alexa Pochowski, Associate Commissioner, Kansas Department of Education. Myrna Toney, Director of Migrant Education, Wisconsin Department of Education. John R. Clark, Assistant Superintendent, Department of Education, Diocese of Allentown (PA). Representing Business Interests John Stevens, Director, Texas Business and Education Coalition. Representing the U.S. Department of Education Susan B. Neuman, Ed.D., Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education. Dr. Joseph F. Johnson, Director, Compensatory Education Programs. If an individual feels that his or her interests are not adequately represented by this diverse group, the individual may petition, at the initial meeting on March 11, to be seated as a negotiator. The negotiating group will determine whether that individual should be added to the group. The negotiating group will make that decision based on factors such as whether the individual (1) Would be substantially affected by the rule; (2) Has interests not already adequately represented by the group; and (3) Meets the requirements of section 1901 of the ESEA. Topics Selected for Negotiation The issues selected for negotiated rulemaking are the Title I, Part A requirements pertaining to standards and assessments. As the January 18 notice indicated, the Department also considered including in the negotiations issues pertaining to adequate yearly progress. Based on significant concerns raised during the public comment period, and given the statutory time constraints discussed in the section on ``Regional Meetings'' below, however, the Department is not subjecting it to negotiated rulemaking. That issue, as well as other Title I issues, will be addressed through the regular rulemaking process (including the regional meetings discussed below). The draft of the proposed regulations that the negotiators will review is available on the Department's Web site at www.ed.gov/nelb/. Facilitator The Department has retained the services of an assessment expert and a facilitator for the negotitated rulemaking process. The assessment expert will be available as a resource to the negotiators on assessments issues. The facilitator will serve as a neutral convenor for the negotiations. Neither the assessment expert nor the facilitator will be involved with the substantive development of the regulations. The facilitator's role is to (1) Chair negotiating sessions; (2) Help the negotiating process run smoothly and (3) Help participants define issues and reach consensus. The facilitator will keep a record of the negotiated rulemaking meetings, which will be placed in the Department's rulemaking docket for this regulatory action. Regional Meetings The Department has developed this process and scheduled negotiated rulemaking very expeditiously, since the NCLB Act was enacted on January 8, and the Department hopes to issue these regulations on a timely basis so that they will be in place as early as possible this year, and issued in accordance with the requirements of section 1908 of the Act. That section requires that regulations to implement sections 1111 and 1116 of this Act be issued within six months of enactment. Recognizing that many interested parties may not yet have an opportunity to provide input or may not be able to attend the negotiated rulemaking meetings, the Department intends to convene four regional meetings during the public comment period after publishing proposed regulations in accordance with section 1901 of the Act. At these meetings, interested parties can provide input regarding the proposed regulations. The Department will announce these meetings in a notice in the Federal Register in the near future.

Extractions: Connecticut's General Assembly passed a law in 1997 (Public Act 97-290) which was intended to foster meaningful partnerships among schools, families, and communities to enhance student learning. It stated that ALL local and regional boards of education were required to develop, adopt, and implement written policies and procedures to encourage parent-teacher communication by September 1, 1998. The Connecticut Department of Education along with community partners including the Connecticut PTA, put together a packet to help local boards of ed comply with the law. The packet contained a sample policy, the six standards in detail, an overview of the law, and procedures and agreements that had been developed in school districts around the country, as models for communities to use.
