All Departments Both sides make case in voucher appeal An appeals court panel is now left to decide the constitutionality of the school voucher program. By DIANE RADO TALLAHASSEE To the families of Pensacola children who get vouchers for private school, the case is simple: Their kids shouldn't be stuck in Florida's worst schools. To advocates for public education, there is no question: Florida's Constitution prohibits sending those Pensacola children to private school with the public's money. A three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal heard from both sides Wednesday, as it considered the fate of Florida's voucher program that allows children in failing public schools to use taxpayer money for private school. "These children did not have a high quality education before the (voucher) program started. Today, they do," said attorney Clint Bolick, representing Pensacola families who were the first to take advantage of the 1999 education reform law that created the voucher program.

Weatherization Assistance CFC Press Release National study lauds Kentucky for adoption subsidies FRANKFORT, Ky. (Sept. 24, 2002)-A recent study cites Kentucky as a national leader in the financial support it provides families who adopt children with special needs from state foster care. The study of adoption subsidy programs by the North American Council on Adoptable Children shows that, in 2001, Kentucky paid the nation’s fourth highest basic monthly adoption subsidy. Only Connecticut, the District of Columbia, and New Hampshire paid higher basic rates for the support of adopted children. The study, entitled “Forever Families: Supports for Families of Children with Special Needs,” also shows that Kentucky ranked behind only Connecticut and Ohio in the basic subsidy amount it paid families who care for foster children. The researchers listed the adoption subsidy rates states paid for an 8-year-old child with special needs, deeming those rates to be typical. In 2001, Kentucky paid a basic adoption subsidy of $600 a month for a child that age-the same amount it would pay to support the child in foster care.

September 18, 2000 Natural History Museum Hires Educator to Take the Museum to the People Leanne Kennedy once took a rhinoceros - collected by Teddy Roosevelt - to the Pennsylvania State Capitol. This former museum educator at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh believes that when people can't visit the museum, she must take the museum to them. At the Carnegie Museum, for example, she found innovative ways to bring the astonishing world of natural history to catastrophically ill children in hospitals and to special needs populations including blind, deaf, multiply-disabled, and autistic children and designed programs for senior citizens. Her innovative outreach programs became nationally known and were supported by major grants. She also created large-group programs for schools, and enhanced the science curriculum for elementary and middle schools. From her base at the Carnegie Museum, the fourth largest natural history museum in the United States, her work took her into three different states. Now Kennedy has come to Connecticut, to the State Museum of Natural History at UConn. As the museum's new education coordinator, she will launch a new pilot program of educational outreach to schools, community centers, libraries, and other organizations.
