Focus On Education - Celebrating Christmas: What's Legal? The federal appeals court in Florey defined what activities are further state that public schools may teach about religious holidays, including their http://www.focusoneducation.com/teachers/articles/a0000079.html
Extractions: Unfortunately, some of these celebrations may be hindered by questions of what is permitted-or prohibited-by the United States Constitution. Although court decisions permit holiday observances, some national organizations have been pressuring local school districts to censor religious expression during Christmas. This article will try to answer the most commonly-asked questions about the rights of students and teachers to participate in these observances. YES. As a matter of fact, no court has ever banned the singing of religious Christmas carols by public school choirs. A case that addressed this issue explicitly upheld singing religious Christmas carols in public schools. In Florey v. Sioux Falls School District, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held that studying and performing religious songs, including Christmas carols, is constitutional if the purpose of the study and performances is the "advancement of the students' knowledge of society's cultural and religious heritage as well as the provision of an opportunity for students to perform a full range of music, poetry and drama that is likely to be of interest to the students and their audience."

Extractions: on Religious Freedom The U.S. Department of Education on July 12, 1995 issued the following statement regarding the application of the First Amendment and the Equal Access Act to public schools. Student prayer and religious discussion: The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment does not prohibit purely private religious speech by students. Students therefore have the same right to engage in individual or group prayer and religious discussion during the school day as they do to engage in other comparable activity. For example, students may read their Bibles or other scriptures, say grace before meals, and pray before tests to the same extent they may engage in comparable non-disruptive activities. Local school authorities possess substantial discretion to impose rules of order and other pedagogical restrictions on student activities, but they may not structure or administer such rules to discriminate against religious activity or speech. Generally, students may pray in a nondisruptive manner when not engaged in school activities or instruction, and subject to the rules that normally pertain in the applicable setting. Specifically, students in informal settings, such as cafeterias and hallways, may pray and discuss their religious views with each other, subject to the same rules of order as apply to other student activities and speech. Students may also speak to, and attempt to persuade, their peers about religious topics just as they do with regard to political topics. School officials, however, should intercede to stop student speech that constitutes harassment aimed at a student or a group of students.

Links "The more learning, the more life” Talmud b e g i n n i n g s The objective if Temple Judea's Early Childhood Program is to create a safe, nurturing and stimulating first school experience for young children. Our program is distinguished by its outstanding teaching staff and a curriculum which provides many opportunities for self expression and personal growth. Our first important goal is to ease the younger children through a gradual separation. We accomplish this with sensitivity, affection and patience. Each child discovers that this is a place to play, create, make friends, explore and celebrate together. Together, we begin the process of nurturing in each child a healthy sense of self and a love of learning. It is our privilege to take part in this transition from home and parent to school and teacher. n u r t u r i n g Entering the classrooms, the children will find a place of warmth, friendliness and acceptance. Each class is lead by a teacher and assistant who provide a day balanced between planned activities and free choice, quiet time and physical play, group activities and individual attention.

The Environmental Protection Agency is joining with other Federal and non-profit organizations to sponsor asthma education events around the country during May Asthma Awareness Month to raise awareness about the indoor and outdoor pollutants that trigger asthma episodes, and how to avoid them as part of a comprehensive asthma management plan. Asthma is a long-term, inflammatory disease in which the airways of the lungs constrict causing wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Asthma can be life threatening. Today, an average of 1 in 13 school children have asthma. According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report, between l980 and 1994, the percentage of pre-school aged children with asthma increased 160 percent, with an alarming 8,000 to 26,000 new asthma cases arising each year.

Among them: A federal work-study waiver will encourage colleges to sign up students to tutor in math . A similar waiver is already available for college students who tutor young students in reading under the America Reads initiative. The National Science Foundation will help develop training programs and materials to enhance the impact of the tutoring effort.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes regulations that would require the owners, masters, or operators of tank vessels of 5,000 gross tons (GT) or more that do not have double hulls and that carry oil in bulk as cargo to comply with certain operational measures. The proposed regulations contain requirements for bridge resource management training, rest hour minimums, enhanced surveys, maneuvering performance capability requirements, and other measures aimed at reducing the likelihood of an oil discharge from these vessels. Additionally, the Coast Guard proposes to amend requirements for the carriage of onboard emergency lightering equipment. These proposed regulations represent the second step in the Coast Guard's three-step effort to establish structural and operational measures for tank vessels without double hulls as required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90).

Encouraging results from federally funded pilot character education programs have prompted some educators to request and receive state funding to continue the efforts. And when legislators did not approve money in some states, school districts have supported the efforts on their own. "There seems to be a great demand for [character education] in the local school districts," according to Kathleen Plato, program supervisor for character education for the Washington State Office of Public Instruction "The key is to have the community buy into it ask the community what character education is, and try to integrate it into the curriculum."
