CLA - Counsel Of Latino Agencies as a voice of the Latino community in the district of columbia. Program, responsiblefor conducting action research in health, education, housing, social http://www.consejo.org/
Extractions: The Council of Latino Agencies' mission reflects its commitment to member agencies as direct beneficiaries and, through them, to the city's broader Latino community as indirect beneficiaries. Its role as a policy advocate and information clearinghouse on the Latino community makes the Council an effective bridge between grassroots organizations and policymakers. The Council seeks to fulfill its mission through two main program areas. The first is the Policy Research and Advocacy Program, responsible for conducting action research in health, education, housing, social welfare and cultural preservation, which in turn is used in critical analysis to further the policy agenda of the Council, its constituent members, and the Latino community in Washington. The second is the Membership Services Program, which seeks to build capacity and strengthen the collective impact of the Council's member agencies, in areas such as community leadership, fundraising, coalition building, and advocacy. Recognizing that its comparative advantage lies in creating consensus, articulating collective interests, and brokering policy discussions, the Council is phasing out its direct service projects and will emphasize its more strategic role as an umbrella organization that serves as an effective intermediary.

July 23, 2002 National Coalition For Public Education Letter To The undersigned members of the National Coalition for Public education (NCPE) urgeyou to oppose HR 5033, the district of columbia Student Opportunity http://archive.aclu.org/congress/l072302c.html
Extractions: Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative: The undersigned members of the National Coalition for Public Education (NCPE) urge you to oppose HR 5033, the District of Columbia Student Opportunity Scholarship Act of 2002, and any other measure that seeks to impose a private school voucher program on the District of Columbia. NCPE opposes the funneling of public money to private and religious schools through such mechanisms as tuition tax credits and vouchers. HR 5033 would divert as much as $45 million in public funds to private and religious schools, while doing nothing to improve public education in the District of Columbia. Vouchers are neither needed nor wanted in the District of Columbia. Programs to improve student achievement in the District have already been implemented and are working. Citywide tests given in April show that District schools showed gains in reading in almost all grades, while more than half the District's schools reduced the number of students scoring below basic on the Stanford 9 Achievement tests, and one-third of District schools reduced the number of children scoring below basic in reading by more than 10 percent. A number of schools raised scores by more than 10 percent. Schools that fail to improve are closed, and reopened under new leadership, as happened to nine schools this year. Furthermore, public school choice is available to every child in the District, and the District offers more charter schools per capita than any other school district in the nation.
Extractions: The International Reading Association continues to support Reading First and Early Reading First legislation, which can make a significant difference for young children by providing school districts with funds needed to offer quality reading programs. The Association has recently requested clearer guidance from the U.S. Department of Education for local school districts to develop their own research-based programs.
