23. Court Allows Minute Of Silence To Continue In Virginia Schools The virginia law was passed in the general Assembly last year and was in place forthe 20002001 school year. The legislation mandated that public schools must http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/legal_issues/legal_updates/first_amendment_cases/lu_s

First Amendment Court Allows Minute of Silence to Continue in Virginia Schools A federal appeals court ruled that a Virginia law implementing a mandatory minute of silence in public schools is constitutional. A panel from the 4 th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 opinion in the case Brown v. Gilmore , rejecting a constitutional challenge to the Commonwealth’s "minute of silence" law. The Virginia law was passed in the General Assembly last year and was in place for the 2000-2001 school year. The legislation mandated that public schools must begin the school day with a minute that allowed students to meditate, pray or engage in any other silent activity. The ACLU challenged the law by filing a lawsuit on behalf of a handful of students. The lawsuit argued that the minute of silence was an attempt to encourage students to pray and therefore violated the First Amendment. The appeals panel disagreed. "By providing this moment of silence, the state makes no endorsement of religion," Judge Paul V. Niemeyer ruled in the majority opinion. "Recognizing that the Religion Clauses of the Constitution are intended to protect religious liberty, Virginia’s minute of silence is no more than a modest step in that direction."

LIBRARY TO DIGITIZE PHOTOS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN EDUCATION Contact: Michael Plunkett, director of Special Collections at (804) 924-3998 or e-mail: mfp@virginia.edu In the early part of this century, Virginia spent $3.20 a year to educate African-American children, less than a third of what it spent to school white children. Black children had shorter school years than white children and black teachers earned about half the salaries of their white counterparts. Yet these inequalities don't even begin to describe the deplorable conditions under which dedicated African-American teachers labored to educate their young pupils in the opening decades of the 20th century. Those conditions, the determination of the teachers to teach and the pupils to learn can still be seen today thanks to the remarkable photographic record left by Jackson Davis. A Virginia native and white educator, Davis spent much of his career studying the educational policies of Southern states and traveling throughout the South to examine the effects of those policies on the ground. Among Davis' many achievements was the creation of a visual document of the condition of African-American education in the South in the early 1900s.

Model School Crisis Management Plan Virginia's schools are responsible for the safety of more than one million students. While safety is always a priority, this responsibility takes on added urgency during times when the commonwealth and nation are threatened by terrorism. The Virginia Department of Education offers the Model School Crisis Management Plan for use by local educators and law enforcement officers in developing or refining school division-level and building-level crisis plans. The Model School Crisis Management Plan includes model policies, procedures, and forms that can be adopted or modified to meet local needs and accommodate existing resources. The pdf version of the Model School Crisis Management Plan may be viewed and printed using Adobe Acrobat. If you do not have Adobe's Acrobat Reader you may download it here. The Model Plan has been updated in response to House Bill 46 and House Bill 886 enacted by the 2002 General Assembly. Two new sections have been provided as addendums to the original plan: Part I - Terrorism Part II - Communications The Model School Crisis Management Plan focuses on (a) preparation for crises, (b) identification and intervention with students who may present a potential threat, (c) response to events which impact the school, but do not present serious threat of harm to students, personnel, or facilities, and (d) management of critical incidents which do involve threats of harm.

Joint Commission on Technology and Science November 19, 1997, Richmond Telecommunications In part, the fourth commission meeting of the 1997 interim brought the commission's work around full circle to work which began in 1996 with the HJR 195 study committee, the predecessor to the commission. The universal service fund provisions of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 were a major focus of HJR 195's work. With the subcommittee's recommendation, the 1997 General Assembly passed HJR 635, encouraging the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to continue its efforts to open up competition in the local exchange market among telephone, cable, and other communications companies, and HJR 444, requesting the Library of Virginia to develop a strategic information technology plan for the Commonwealth's public library system. SCC The SCC's report recommends that the SCC: (i) continue its long distance and local competition initiatives (begun as early as 1983); (ii) continue to monitor universal service proceedings at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), including pending federal court cases, and take action as appropriate; (iii) allow the universal service fund to operate for at least two years before assessing the need for additional state funding; and (iv) advise the Virginia General Assembly should the need for legislation arise in the future (none is requested for the 1998 Session). The report, published as House Document No. 15 (1998), includes the SCC's order of June 30, 1997, adopting the discounts for intrastate telecommunications services established by the FCC. Adoption of these rates is a prerequisite to a state's eligibility for discounts funded by the universal service fund. The SCC was one of the public utility commissions in the nation to do so.

(AP) A new battle is under way over the long-debated issue of prayer in the schools. The battlefield this time is the state of Virginia, where the American Civil Liberties Union has gone to court in the hopes of overturning the new Virginia law which requires a moment of silence in public schools. Opponents of prayer in the schools regard the practice of providing a moment of silence as a tacit encouragement of prayer and as such, a violation of the constitutional separation of church and state. The law leaves no question in the mind of Kent Wills, executive director of the ACLU's Virginia chapter. "The purpose of this law is clearly to promote state-sanctioned prayer in public schools,"
