Extractions: Summer 95 Inside this Issue School-Based Health Care Assembly Breaks New Ground M ore than 500 people from around the country gathered June 23-25 to establish a national movement to support improved health services for children through school-based health care. The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments.

Extractions: Editor: The Chronicle: Parent-Teacher Association vs. Parent-Teacher Organization. Adversaries or allies? If one has followed the news coverage both print and radio over the last week and read your Sept. 22 editorial on ``Dumb and Dumber,'' one might surmise that we are indeed adversaries. This, however, is not the case. Thinking this only distances us from the real focus of PTAs and PTOs ... our children. At the local level, most PTAs and PTOs share a common mission to encourage parent and public involvement to enhance the educational experiences of children at their local school. This is the reason parents, grandparents, extended family members, teachers and community members become involved. They know that volunteering in school shows they care not only about their own child's education but also the education of the other children in their local school community. It is personal and close to home. It is when we move beyond the individual school community and into the larger community that our approaches differ. PTA recognizes that they can be more effective when speaking on behalf of children or parents when they represent a larger community of parents three schools or 50 schools or 150 schools.

Purpose: To support and promote the establishment of reading motivation programs, including the distribution of inexpensive books to students in order to encourage students to learn to read. Funding History Fiscal Year Appropriation Fiscal Year Appropriation The Inexpensive Book Distribution Program is directed at preschool, elementary, and secondary students. As a result of the National Literacy Act Amendment of 1991, the program places a selection priority, for new grantees, on children with special needssuch as low-income children, children at risk for school failure, children with disabilities, emotionally disturbed children, foster children, homeless children, migrant children, children without access to libraries, institutionalized children, incarcerated children, and children whose parents are institutionalized or incarcerated. Since the Literacy Act passed, 35 new projectsthat serve over 20,000 childrenhave been added to the 3,000 previously funded projects. The Administration's proposal for reauthorizing the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program would encourage local capacity building by limiting the number of years projects can receive funding, and give priority to new projects serving children with special needs.

Extractions: Alternatives to the PTA National PTA leaders are urging delegates to its Chicago convention next month to approve a 100 percent dues increase. The change is only from $1 to $2. But if it is approved, National PTA revenues will increase by more than $6 million. Why a dues increase? Lobbying. "With this increase, PTA can be everywhere you would like to be," promise PTA's leaders, "whether it's mentoring in the classroom, keeping neighborhoods safe, influencing legislative decisions or helping to bring needed resources into our schools." Already, four of National PTA's 68 full-time staff members work at its government relations office in Washington, D.C. lobbying for and against federal legislation on public schools. PTA sponsors a legislative conference at which state and local officers and members develop lobbying skills and then return home to train other members to lobby. Through its web site, National PTA provides members with sample messages and directions on how teachers, parents, students and others should lobby on issues of concern to the organization's leaders. According to its treasurer's report, National PTA had revenues of $8.4 million in fiscal year 1998. That's insufficient, say PTA's leaders.
Extractions: Search Rethinking Schools Help Home Archives Volume 17 No. 3- Spring 2003 'A Ghetto Within a Ghetto' -photo: Jean-Claude Lejeune Spring 2003 By Joel McNally The disproportionate placement of African-American males into special education classes has created a "a ghetto within a ghetto," says Gary Orfield, co-director of Harvard University's Civil Rights Project. Orfield says that this racial disparity makes it less likely that black students receive high school diplomas, less likely they will be employed after leaving school, and more likely they will end up in the criminal justice system. "This is segregation within segregation," Orfield said. "For a lot of these kids, this is a direct path to jail. It becomes an irreversible punishment in these kids' lives. This is taking a bad problem and putting it inside another even worse problem. It's just unconscionable." Orfield is co-editor with Daniel Losen of the newly published Racial Inequity in Special Education
