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.

Improvement/Safety School Issues Article S C H O O L I S S U E S A R T I C L E In 1994, an amended federal law opened the door for Colorado to enact a law this year to allow school and criminal justice officials to share information about violent and disruptive students. The new law is intended to help prevent future school violence. Will more states follow Colorado and the other states that have enacted this law? A year after the Columbine High School tragedy, the Colorado legislature passed a law revoking prior privacy constraints that have hindered teachers and police from sharing information about troubled students. A 1994 amendment to a federal law allowed Colorado to pass the new law. Without a state law that specifically provides for a juvenile justice exemption from the federal privacy act, federal law requires schools and criminal justice officials to obtain either the child's and parent's consent or a court subpoena to obtain records. The federal law requires that information be kept confidential because disclosure of certain information could have an impact on student and family privacy. The law is described in the 71-page Colorado School Violence Prevention and Student Discipline Manual , published by the Colorado State Attorney's office. The updated manual includes provisions for information sharing (see

Social Science Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Just one year ago, Barbara Vogel's students were typical fifth graders, wrapping up a U.S. History unit on slavery. Today, those Colorado students are credited with spurring what has been called the largest abolitionist movement of the last century. What happened? As Education World discovered in an exclusive interview with Vogel, her students study slavery, but they learn "the power of one." The greatest sin of our time is not the few who have destroyed, but the vast majority who have sat idly by. Dr. Martin Luther King That quote, imprinted on T-shirts sold to raise money to free Sudanese slaves, sums up the beliefs of students at Highline Community School in Aurora, Colorado. For those students are not sitting idly by. Instead, they've taken on the task of ending slavery in the Sudan and around the world. "Dr. King's words," says teacher Barbara Vogel, "have become the students' motto." For most of the second half of this century, a civil war has raged in the African country of Sudan as mostly black, Christian rebels in the south have fought for autonomy from the Arab-dominated government in the north. In the last 14 years of fighting, it is estimated that about 1.5 million Sudanese have died and 3 to 5 million have been forced from their homes. According to
