Insights...on education policy and practice Number 5 July 1995 Charter Schools: Early Learnings Insights A Comparison of Charter School Legislation in SEDL's Southwestern Region Arkansas Louisiana New Mexico Texas Background Information In 1995, the Arkansas General Assembly approved House Bill 1934 which established a "procedure" whereby local schools may become charter schools. Any local school may petition the State Board of Education for charter school status once the petition is approved at the local level. Later this year, the State Board of Education will establish more specific rules and regulations pertinent to charter schools. State and local board members expect to begin reviewing applications sometime next year, with the first schools slated to open in Fall 1997. Contracts will initially be granted for three years. In 1995, Senate Bill 1305 authorized charter school demonstration programs in up to eight city or parish (county) school systems in Louisiana. Public school systems must apply for and be granted chartering authority by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). Local school boards are responsible for the approval of specific charter proposals. Eligible school systems are limited to authorizing no more than one charter school for every 20,000 students enrolled in public and approved nonpublic schools within their jurisdiction. Each local board can also sponsor and propose charter status for one or more additional schools in their system.

46. TPR: Texas Board Of Chiropractic Examiners hour sessions five times a year in conjunction with other continuing education programs. Otherstates' chiropractic boards and other texas licensing boards http://www.window.state.tx.us/tpr/tprchiro/tbce06.html

Texas Performance Review Realigning Chiropractic Oversight More Aggressive Approach to Regulation Background TBCE has traditionally taken a reactive approach to regulation, simply responding to complaints received. As noted in Exhibit 1, TBCE took disciplinary action in about nine percent (86 out of 960) of the complaints received over the last four years. This figure appears relatively aggressive compared to other Texas licensing boards and chiropractic licensing boards in other states. However, when the type of disciplinary action taken is examined, TBCE differs markedly from other boards in that more than four-fifths of TBCE's disciplinary actions were letters of warning, the mildest form of action available. Most other licensing boards do not even count warnings as disciplinary actions. The Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB), an organization serving as the professional association for state chiropractic licensing boards, tracks significant disciplinary actions such as fines, probations, suspensions, and revocations (Exhibit 4). FCLB does not collect information on warnings since warnings are not public information, and because warnings constitute a threat to impose a disciplinary action rather than the actual imposition of an action. Without warnings in the mix, Texas' use of disciplinary action looks fairly mild compared to that of other states-just 4.6 actions per 1,000 chiropractors over the 1993-96 period, compared to an average of 16.6 per 1,000 in the rest of the country. Once again, more than half of those actions were reprimands, compared to a higher percentage of more serious sanctions taken in other states.
