The debate was provoked by a Louisiana case in which two Jefferson Parish parents challenged a federal program that loans instructional equipment, including computers, to parochial schools. A federal appeals court panel struck down the program as a violation of the First Amendment, which prohibits government establishment of religion. The appeals judges said they approached the case with caution because of the Supreme Court's confusing precedents in the area. In a string of cases over three decades, the Supreme Court has upheld some forms of aid to parochial schools, such as textbooks, but not others, evaluating each program differently. A decision in the case could come any time before the end of the Court term next summer. Tony Mauro, "Court debates funding for parochial schools" USA Today, December 2, 1999, 11A
Extractions: BGCT Christian Life Commission Texas has seen an apparent growing support for private and parochial school vouchers. Baptists and other groups that support separation of church and state face a significant battle in Texas avoid the passage of voucher legislation in the coming legislative session which begins in January 1999. The Christian Life Commission has been especially active on the voucher issue since 1993 when a voucher proposal was attached as a floor amendment to the state education bill and was defeated by only one vote in the last days of the session. The Senate passed voucher legislation in both 1995 and 1997, but opponents were able to stop the legislation by narrow votes in the House. There are a number of strong reasons to oppose vouchers for full or partial subsidy of education for private and parochial school students. The major reasons for opposition to vouchers are: A voucher program has the potential of destroying the financial tax base of the public school system. Voucher programs take public money for the tuition of students who, by their own choice, are currently in private schools. There are limited funds for education in Texas and the nation. Major voucher programs would certainly result in limited public funds being rerouted to pay for the education of children whose parents now pay for their education. Most importantly, vouchers would further reduce already scarce public school dollars resulting in loss of teachers, support staff, programs, facilities and equipment for our neighborhood schools which educate most of our children.

Extractions: R E T U R N Vouchers Voucher programs allow public tax dollars to be used for religious and private school tuition. Vouchers harm our neighborhood public schools by funneling tax dollars out of classrooms, especially those that most need these scarce resources. But vouchers also threaten the autonomy of private and parochial schools by imposing government regulations on these institutions. The Texas Freedom Network supports pro-public education measures that will help all Texas children, not risky voucher plans that would benefit a few at the expense of the majority of children and taxpayers.

Extractions: Education Reform The first public schools in America were created by groups of private to serve the educational needs of the communities in which they lived. They were not mandated by state or federal government, just created to answer the need of society for educated citizens. They were called public schools not because they were part of a public government, but because attendance was open to the general public. Anyone could attend, and tuition was set based on ability to pay. Education was basic and functional. Costs were kept extremely low so that no one had to pay an unreasonable tuition. This basic idea of practical education for a local community at a reasonable price has a rich and successful history. From the William Penn charter schools in colonial Philadelphia to parochial schools of the 19th and 20th century, communities have found it practical and economical to provide their members with the education they need. Even the earliest ancestors of modern public schools - like the Free Schools of the 1840s - were structured and funded on a local basis, not under the auspices of state or national government. Only relatively recently has the idea of a nationwide, uniform system of mandatory education been imposed on our communities. Even in its relatively short history it has become clear that this type of education does not work. Government controlled schools provide an inferior quality of education at a much higher price with far less sensitivity to the needs and interests of the communities the schools supposedly serve.

Extractions: DISTRICT ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT This chapter examines Falls City Independent School District's (FCISD) organization, management and community involvement four sections: School boards are responsible for setting policies that are carried out by the administration. To determine the effectiveness of a district's organization and management, it is necessary to evaluate it against several critical factors. An efficient and logical organizational structure supports an effective planning, budgeting and improvement process that ensures that district resources are used efficiently and support the district's goals. BACKGROUND FCISD is a small district with 338 students in 2000-01 that is managed by a superintendent, a high school principal and an elementary principal. The present Falls City Independent School District was organized in 1949 as Falls City Common Consolidated County Line School District. The district was organized by consolidating smaller "Common" districts and parochial schools including Falls City, Hobson, Ehlers (in Wilson County), Deweesville, Laake, Cestohowa, Holy Trinity Parochial School of Falls City and Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parochial School of Cestohowa. An agreement was reached with the parochial schools that the newly formed school system would employ certified teachers from their schools. Consequently, nuns of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament and the order of Felician Sisters taught in the consolidated system into the 1990's.

Until now, only public and charter schools were allowed membership in UIL. UIL officials acknowledged that they supported the changes in part because of a federal lawsuit filed by Jesuit and legislative attempts to knock down the public school barrier. The rule Alanis approved keeps private school membership in UIL to a minimum. To qualify, a private school must be accredited by the Texas Private School Association, must not qualify for membership in any organization similar to the UIL, such as the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, and must meet the UIL's definition of a high school. Also, a school could not have had its participation in another league revoked or suspended because of a rules violation.

Extractions: by Jackie Lain Few issues are as critical to school boards, school districts, and the schoolchildren of Texas as school choice and vouchers. School choice typically refers to programs that allow students to enroll in the public school of their choice. Vouchers refer either to tax rebates for parents or student scholarships funded with public tax dollars to help pay the cost of tuition at private or parochial schools. Legislation attempting to create voucher programs has created a whirlwind of controversy on both the state and federal levels. During the 1997 Texas legislative session, a bill that would have created a pilot voucher program was narrowly defeated in the House of Representatives by a vote of 68 to 68. Three federal voucher bills died in Congress during 1997, and several have already been refiled in 1998. Voucher legislation is sure to reappear in Austin in 1999. The other side of the story.
