114th Year, 7th Issue Thursday, September 26, 2002 Sparta, North Carolina Mushroom Chronicles - Voucher programs offer public systems much-needed competition By Bill Rost As a former resident of Ohio and having two children who attended public schools in three states, I've had an abiding interest in the progress of the suit filed against Ohio's school voucher program. Objection to the program, and the basis of the suit, rests on the claim that the program supports religion in violation of the Constitution. That position was dismissed by the Ohio Supreme Court but upheld by the U.S. District and Appellate Courts. On June 27th, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Appellate decision, ruling that the program was constitutional and could go forward. As I listened to the reports of the decision on cable and network news programs, the objections to the ruling were consistent: It supports primarily parochial schools, thus providing government funding of religion. It will take money from the public school system, already under-funded. There will be no control over the quality of education.

SEARCH Home No Left Turns: The Ashbrook Center Blog Ashbrook Columnists Robert Alt Andrew E. Busch John C. Eastman Christopher Flannery ... Other Sites of Interest How to Reform Education in Ohio: A Symposium On Principle, v5n6 December 1997 by: Patrick A. Sweeney The number one concern for the average citizen of the U.S. isn't crime or the economy — it's education. As you may well know, there is much controversy over what needs to be done to improve the quality of education in the Cleveland Public School System, and to a lesser extent, the Cleveland suburban school districts. The best thing we can do to provide the necessary education to prepare our children for the future is to guarantee choice, namely choice in the form of school vouchers and pilot programs like the Hope Academies. In the city of Cleveland, there is a phenomenon of parents taking choice of schools into their own hands. Many families retain residence in the city of Cleveland during their sons' and daughters' childhood while sending them to Cleveland's many parochial schools. When their children reach the eighth grade, the families then move to suburbs with highly rated public schools like Rocky River, Fairview, and Lakewood. If people had options like school vouchers, they wouldn't be forced to move to ensure that their children gained adequate instruction, and the city of Cleveland wouldn't be hurt by "educational exoduses." School vouchers allow lower-income parents to have a choice about where their children attend school who otherwise couldn't afford to send their children to private or parochial schools or who couldn't afford to move to the suburbs. Choice, or pluralism in higher education, is what has given America the world's best collegiate system, and choice, implemented via vouchers, can hopefully bring our primary and secondary schools up to par. There are many pilot programs involving vouchers now, and two such experimental programs are the Hope Academies.

FLASHLINE AS COURT PREPARES RULING IN CLEVELAND VOUCHER CASE, GOV'T AID TO RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS IS "DONE DEAL" Web Posted: June 22, 2002 ith a ruling expected at any time, the nation's highest court is set to make public its decision in a controversial case involving school vouchers. ZELMAN v. SIMMONS-HARRIS concerns a program in Cleveland, Ohio which allows parents to enroll their children in select private schools and receive reimbursement for anywhere between 75% and 90% of tuition costs. Last year, over 3,700 youngsters attended voucher schools, with 60% coming from families considered at or below the poverty level. A total of 3,632 students went to religious schools about 96%. Of the fifty-six schools participating in the voucher program, 46 (82%) are affiliated with a church or denomination. The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals noted that parents sign over tuition checks directly to the school and that "Program monies may be used by the participating schools for whatever purpose they deem appropriate; the voucher program does not place restrictions on the use of funds made available under the program..." In addition, noted the court, "The sectarian schools vary in their religious affiliation and approaches; however, the handbooks and mission statements of these schools reflect that most believe in interweaving religious beliefs with secular subjects. The sectarian schools also follow religious guidelines, including instruction in religion and mandated participation in religious services; interweaving of Christian doctrine with science and language arts classes; requiring that 'all learning take place in an atmosphere of religious ideals' ... and designing educational scholarship in order 'to make ... faith become living, conscious and active through the light of instruction ... religious truths and values permeate the whole atmosphere our the school.'

The Akron Beacon Journal Education Series Summary As Ohio's public schools struggle for fiscal and political support through a lengthy court battle, the Akron Beacon Journal reports in their series that the state has spent unprecedented sums of money on private religious and non-religious schools. One of the lead articles on Sunday states, "Ohio already No. 1 in the '90s (nationally) for putting public dollars into private schools and last in the nation for placing children in safe and sanitary buildings is on course to earn a new distinction in the next decade." The articles allege that the above statement reflects a concerted effort by the state to transfer public money to private and charter schools through a clear and convincing paper trail from the governor's archives at Ohio University and the Ohio Department of Education's records. Through polls by The Ohio State University's Survey Research Unit, we know that such a transfer of public funds to private religious and non-religious schools is clearly an undesirable activity to Ohioans. The articles also allege that the concerted effort began with Voinovich, his administration, David Brennan, the Catholic Conference of Ohio, and the Ohio Council of Bishops. The Taft administration continues the effort through initiatives and policies which expand upon the current charter and voucher programs.

BOB ABERNETHY : This coming week, the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that could have a major impact on all church/state relations. At issue is the Cleveland school voucher program. Under it, the state of Ohio gives money to poor families who want to take their children out of troubled public schools and send them to private schools. But, in Cleveland, almost all the nonpublic schools are religious. Does that mean the state is unconstitutionally entangled with religion? Phil Jones reports. PHIL JONES : As far as Victoria Pope is concerned, the issue before the U.S. Supreme Court is one of quality education for her children. Should she and other parents be able to use taxpayer-funded vouchers to send them to better schools, even if they are parochial? VICTORIA POPE : Anybody wants their children to go to the best schools. When I go to that school I know if they miss homework they're going to get a detention, and I like that. That holds them accountable. Whereas in the public schools they would fall through the cracks. JONES : Judith French, who will be presenting the case for the state of Ohio, says the argument for vouchers is simple.

FACTS Management. Contact Us for Information The key to financial stability in your parochial school "A faith-based educational philosophy and quality education program are essential to the success of a parochial school. Together they form the strands that are woven together to form the fabric of your mission statement. However, a commitment to quality faith-based education and strong academics are not sufficient to guarantee a completely successful program. Quality education must be accompanied by sound financial management. I discovered this several years ago in my work as a Superintendent for Catholic Schools in Dayton, Ohio. That's why I developed the cost-based tuition and need-based tuition aid concept in the early 90's. Since that time, I've shared the philosophy with hundreds of schools across the country through articles, phone calls, workshops, videos, and the Web. Thank you for your interest in the concept. I hope the materials in this Web site are of benefit to you."

78. Charter Schools The principal sponsor of the legislation is from Toledo, and she is a vocal ifnot boisterous booster of parochial schools. ohio's last governor, George http://www.tft250.org/charter_schools.htm

Stacking the deck for charter schools For those who see charter schools as a prescription for ailing city schools, Ohio's charter law should set off alarm bells. The theory behind charters is that private competition will encourage public schools to improve. Let the marketplace drive inefficient or unsuccessful schools out of business. The theory presumes a reasonably fair playing field. In Ohio, the field is lopsided. Ohio's charter law stacks the deck. If the Ohio school market rules were applied to the private sector, this is how it would work. You, the consumer, have an American-made car and the government says it will give you $4,500 towards the purchase of your next car, but only if it is a foreign model. The $4,500 must be paid by the U.S. company that sold you your current car. By offering incentives to the competition, domestic manufacturers will be motivated to build better cars. At least that's what the government claims. You can hear the screams now. What kind of competition is that? Were these rules designed to spur competition, or kill off our own manufacturers? But wait, it gets worse. Foreign manufacturers turn in claims to the government contending that a number of the cars they sell qualify for the stipend, simply because they say that the purchasers previously owned U.S. autos. Domestic companies, however, have no record of having sold the previous car and complain that the $4,500 stipend should not be paid by them. The government accepts the claims of foreign manufacturers anyway because it has no auditing procedures in place and no real enforcement ability, and even less enthusiasm for checking who is eligible and who is not.

Wednesday, August 29, 2001 Print this Article! Email this story to a friend! Respond to this story! Libraries hook more students to books By JOHN BOOTH Tribune Chronicle By next fall, Trumbull County students will have a card catalog at their fingertips that stretches from Bloomfield to Hubbard, from Kinsman to Newton Falls. The final pieces of the puzzle are ready to fall into place, thanks to grant money enabling 16 school libraries in four districts to automate their card catalogs and link their computers to a countywide network. Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds awarded through the State Library of Ohio will provide more than $156,000 for the projects in Brookfield, LaBrae, Niles and Mathews schools. In order to earn the grant, the schools had to agree to spend one-quarter of the funding - just more than $52,000. ''What we're moving toward is a statewide resource-sharing program, which is going to start within this year,'' said Davey Simo, an LSTA project manager at the NorthEast Ohio Management Information Network. ''Someone in Brookfield could borrow something from Cincinnati.'' Closer to home, that same Brookfield student could request a book on the shelves of LaBrae High School. A courier or librarian would then deliver the item to Brookfield.
