Executive Summary
Acknowledgments Introduction The Importance of 2/4 Transfer ... The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education
Page 14 of 21 TEXAS
Texas is primarily a public state for higher education: about 90% of all college students attend public institutions. It is also the largest low-performing state (based on the completion criteria in Measuring Up 2000) to have at least 25% of its college students attending public community colleges. Public community colleges account for over half of total undergraduate enrollment in the state; the public universities account for around 38%; private four-year institutions, about 10% (National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, 2000). Public four-year tuition averages $2,741 annually, and community college tuition averages $910. Governance Enrollment Planning Demand for higher education is increasing at an annual rate of around 1.5%, with slightly higher growth in the community colleges and technical institutions. The state has also placed priorities on raising the college-going rate to the national average and on eliminating disparities in attendance between racial groups. One goal of Texas’ new higher education plan (Closing the Gaps) is to increase college enrollments by 500,000 by 2015. A second goal is to increase the total number of certificates and associate and baccalaureate degrees by 50% (from 95,000 awarded in 2000 to 163,000 in 2015). The state has no firm enrollment targets for the different institutions, but progress toward these goals will inevitably increase the enrollment demand on community colleges. There has been considerable concern about Texas’ low retention and baccalaureate achievement rates, and the state has been analyzing student flow patterns within public higher education for many years.

    Latino leaders – HBLI seminar offers state school boards tools, encouragement
    ASU’s Hispanic Border Leadership Institute (HBLI) is engaging in creative endeavors designed to educate and encourage school boards to stimulate academic success by Latino students. The institute’s seminar, “School Boards: Superintendent Leadership, Governance and Teamwork,” supported in part by the Ford Foundation, focuses on the importance of the relationship between school boards and superintendents as the most critical factor in determining how well a school system operates. In addition to Arizona, HBLI will present this seminar to K-12 school boards in Texas, New Mexico, California and Colorado in the next few months. Leonard Valverde says this project is aimed at building and maintaining a strong collaborative leadership by local school boards and school superintendents in order to attain high student achievement. “HBLI, and in particular this activity of leadership development of Latino local policy makers, is targeted on school improvement across the state and the Southwest, and pursuing it in ways not done or stressed by units within the College of Education,” says Valverde, HBLI executive director.

    [Federal Register: February 28, 2002 (Volume 67, Number 40)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 9223-9224] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr28fe02-22] ======================================================================= - DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 34 CFR Chapter II Office of Elementary and Secondary Education; Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as Amended (ESEA); Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged AGENCY: Department of Education. ACTION: Notice of meetings to conduct a negotiated rulemaking process. - SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education (Assistant Secretary) of the U.S. Department of Education (Department) will convene a negotiating groupincluding Federal, State, and local education administrators, parents, teachers, and members of local boards of educationto participate in a negotiated rulemaking process prior to publishing proposed regulations to implement part A of Title I, Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as recently amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Title I is designed to help disadvantaged children meet high academic standards. The negotiating committee will review draft proposed regulations developed on statutory provisions involving standards and assessments. DATES: We will hold five meetings of the negotiating group. The dates and times of the meetings are in the Schedule of Negotiations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Schedule of Negotiations We will hold five meetings of the negotiating group to review the draft proposed regulations: 1. March 11, 2002, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 2. 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.

Averitt is currently vice chair of the Business and Commerce Committe, and member of the Senate Committee on Education, the Senate Committee on Finance, the Senate Committee on Jurisprudence and the Subcomitte on Higher Education. Averitt is the former Chairman of the House Committee on Financial Institutions. As a legislator, Averitt has co-authored conservative reforms for both Gov. George W. Bush and Gov. Rick Perry, including the state's new "math initiatives" program for public schools, small business insurance reforms and faith-based initiatives. In addition, Averitt led an effort to incorporate private sector involvement in the implementation of the Children's Health Insurance Program, which resulted in more money available for health care for Texas families. He also created the Texas Health Insurance Risk Pool, which provides private sector insurance to people who are denied health care coverage from insurance companies. During the 77th Legislative Session, Averitt helped to bring together key lawmakers, officials from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Boards and the dairy industry to find a workable solution to clean up Waco's drinking water.

    Building Support for Public Education Following are excerpts from recommendations of the NSBA Federation Member Executive Directors Liaison Committee Subcommittee on Building Support for Public Education.
    There is a pervasive assumption across the United States that the public school system in this country is in crisis and that schools are failing to adequately educate a majority of children.
    This assumption has, in fact, become conventional wisdom and an unrefuted presumption. When the statement is made that public education and public schools are failing, there are few, if any, dissents. Even though this perception is often based upon half truths, misconceptions, and factual inaccuracies, the statement goes unchallenged.
