Extractions: AEL's Region Minnesota passed the first charter school legislation in 1991. Seven years later, about three-fifths of the states had followed suit. In 1999, President Clinton announced federal aid to 32 states that had applied for charter school funds. Existing programs were granted a total of $54 million dollars, and $41 million dollars was earmarked for start up grants for the express purpose of increasing the number of charter schools from the more than 1,700 that currently exist to 3,000 by the year 2001. Policymakers in AEL's region (Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia) have approached legislation more cautiously. This issue of Policy Briefs provides an overview of charter school legislation, looks at concerns specific to AEL's region, and reports on the status of charter school legislation in four states.

"The academy will alternate between those of us on staff Carolyn Hughes, Steve Johnson and myself presenting information sessions, hands-on activities, videos, role-play, etc., and speakers who have expert knowledge in an area related to transition," said Susan Copeland, assistant coordinator for the academy who earned her Ph.D. in education and human development from Peabody College in May.

Extractions: manderson@gomemphis.com Jane Murphy was puzzled when she got a look at her daughter's schoolwork. On the back of Sarah's completed worksheets, the just-turned 7-year-old had written the lyrics to every S Club 7 song she knew. "I said 'Sarah, when do you have time to do this?' " Murphy said, "and she said, 'When I finish my work.' " After the family moved here in October, Sarah started first grade at Shelby County's Crosswind Elementary. Frustrated at reading "baby books" and the tiny spelling words she'd mastered in kindergarten, Sarah began to protest, lounging too long in her pajamas and complaining about school. Things are better now. Sarah joins a third-grade class for reading, spelling and language arts as part of the school's program for gifted students. On her last test, she spelled "Massachusetts," and she does book reports along with her older classmates. "Now she's ready to go to school," Murphy said. "She's up early and ready to go."
