The letter is from the Chair of the House Committee on Finance to the Hawaii State Department of Education Superintendent regarding the DOE's $20 million budget shortfall for public school bus transportation. It outlines concerns with how the DOE manages transportation services, noting the state subsidizes $6.50 per student daily for bus rides. It requests an in-person meeting to discuss alternatives to the DOE's position that eliminating funding will end all bus services.
Public schools in California are facing major budget cuts due to the recession, resulting in layoffs of teachers, increased class sizes, cuts to after school programs, and potential school closures. School districts and advocacy groups are suing the state, arguing that the cuts violate the constitutional requirement to provide an adequate education. School districts are asking voters to approve tax increases to offset the losses, but many taxpayers oppose further taxes in the struggling economy. The quality of education in California is declining as budget cuts continue.

This document summarizes a study on charter school initiatives in Nebraska. It finds that many Nebraska students are underperforming based on national and state test scores, with minority and low-income students faring the worst. Charter schools have been shown to improve outcomes for these disadvantaged groups. However, Nebraska is one of the few remaining states without a charter school law, putting it at a disadvantage for federal funding. The study argues Nebraska should pursue charter schools as well as other reforms to better prepare its students.

This document provides guidance for implementing Safe Routes to School programs in low-income communities. It discusses the challenges faced in low-income areas, such as safety concerns, lack of awareness, limited access to expertise, and long distances to schools. The document then highlights several promising practices that have helped overcome these challenges, including community organizing, education programs, infrastructure improvements, and partnerships with local organizations. The overall goal is to inspire collaboration between schools, parents and local leaders to develop culturally sensitive Safe Routes to School programs that improve safety and encourage physical activity for children in low-income areas.
The document summarizes opposition to Amendment 1 on the Georgia ballot, which proposes creating an Opportunity School District. It argues that the amendment's wording is deliberately misleading by claiming it will increase flexibility, accountability, and community involvement, when it will actually give the state control over local schools. It contends the amendment would allow private management of public schools, undermine local control, and rely on flawed standardized tests to determine school performance. The document urges voting no on Amendment 1.
Silva_Class 20 Prompt_Analysis Paper Option 2Jeffrey Silva
This document analyzes charter schools as a potential solution to addressing the perceived failures of American public schools. It summarizes three views on how charter schools could enact reform: 1) As laboratories of innovation; 2) Replacing traditional public schools entirely; 3) Increasing competition through market forces. The author argues that the third option of strategically increasing charter school numbers is currently the most feasible and effective approach to driving system-wide improvement, by enhancing parents' and students' ability to exercise "exit" and "voice". While charter schools have potential, replication of innovative practices is difficult and a charter-only system could fail to serve all students equitably.
20050119 Murray and Aud A Guide to Understanding State Funding of Arizona Pub...Vicki Alger
This document summarizes a report on state funding of Arizona public school students. It finds that:
1) The average state base equalization funding per student in Arizona ranges from $4,200 to $4,600, while the average non-equalized district funding portion is $4,309.
2) The total average funding per student is between $8,500 and $9,000, though amounts may be higher for students with special needs.
3) If 5% of Arizona's public school students received education grants to attend private schools worth $3,500 for elementary and $4,500 for high school, it could save the state $32 million in fiscal year 2003 with minimal funding
20150731 Alger The Future of School Choice in MaineVicki Alger
This document discusses the future of school choice in Maine and argues for implementing education savings accounts (ESAs). It provides background on Milton Friedman's proposal for parental choice in education through publicly funded vouchers. While many states now offer various school choice programs like vouchers and tax-credit scholarships, Maine still relies on a 19th century schooling model with limited options. The document recommends that Maine enhance its existing voucher program by establishing ESAs, which would deposit a portion of public funding directly into restricted-use accounts for parents to pay various education expenses that best suit their children's needs. Overall the document makes the case that ESAs represent the next step in advancing parental choice and personalized learning opportunities in Maine.

The document discusses the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which provides vouchers for low-income students in Washington D.C. to attend private schools. It notes that recent evaluations found students using the vouchers performed half a grade higher in reading on average compared to public school students. However, President Obama and some members of Congress want to end the program. The document argues the program should be expanded instead, as the evidence shows it works to improve student outcomes.
The document discusses the issue of unequal funding between schools in wealthy versus impoverished areas in the United States. It notes that schools in low-income areas often receive less funding than schools in wealthier districts, due to reliance on local property taxes for school funding. This creates inequities where low-income students have fewer resources and opportunities compared to their wealthier peers, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. The document proposes implementing a policy of equal distribution of excess funds between all schools to create more equitable access to education resources.

The document provides background information on Naxalism in India. It begins by defining related terms like Marxism and Maoism. It then discusses the origins and key figures in the Naxalite movement. The document outlines the economic and social conditions in India's "Red Corridor" where Naxalism is most prevalent. It analyzes the political, economic, and social root causes for the rise of Naxalism and its impacts. Finally, it discusses the government's past negligence and current multi-pronged approach to addressing the issue.
The document provides background information on Naxalism and Maoism in India. It discusses how Naxalism originated from a peasant uprising in Naxalbari village in 1967 and has since spread to over 180 districts across 10 states. The "Red Corridor" refers to areas heavily affected by Naxalite-Maoist violence, including districts in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, and West Bengal. The document also outlines the history of attacks by Naxalite groups, their sources of funding, expenditures, and steps taken by the government to curb Maoist violence.
Naxalism originated in the late 1960s in the Indian state of West Bengal and has since spread to parts of central and eastern India. It began as a rebellion against economic and social inequality and the upper classes. Naxalites now fight for the rights of tribal groups and the poor through violent and terrorist tactics. The movement is fragmented into many groups and defeating naxalism poses a major security challenge for the Indian government. Key strategies include strengthening intelligence networks, developing police forces, and addressing the root social and economic causes that have allowed naxalism to spread, such as lack of development, employment, education, and healthcare in affected areas.

Citizens for Havasu Schools is a community group that formed in 2015 to address funding challenges facing the Lake Havasu Unified School District. Over the past year and a half, the group has held numerous town halls and gathered community feedback to develop a proposed bond and override measure. The bond ($49.05 million) would fund maintenance, transportation, technology, and athletics projects. The override (15% of the budget) would increase educator pay, health benefits, and reduce athletic fees. The group is recommending that voters approve both measures in order to invest in school infrastructure and attract/retain quality educators.

Senator Moore College Affordability-Student Debt Op-EdEric J. Alves
Senator Michael O. Moore discusses the importance of making college more affordable and accessible. He notes that state funding for public higher education has declined 31% from 2001-2013, resulting in tuition increases. The current state budget aims to reverse this trend by increasing funding and implementing a tuition freeze. It also ties 50% of community college funding to performance metrics like graduation rates. The senator advocates for improving financial literacy and ensuring financial aid is used effectively to support students while controlling costs.
The superintendent of the Public Schools of Robeson County wrote to the chairman of the North Carolina State Board of Education to request direct intervention or immediate takeover by the state board. The letter outlines ongoing issues with the local school board including financial mismanagement, micromanagement, and decisions made based on politics rather than student needs. An audit found the district running a deficit and down to less than one month of operating funds. Despite collaboration with the state entities, the local board approved a consolidation plan that increases costs and is not data-driven or in students' best interests. Direct state involvement is needed to ensure the district and community's needs are met.
This presentation covers recent state & county budget developments as well as strategies of unified advocacy groups Fairfax FLAGS, FACE, Full-day K & CPES -- all interested in preserving the world-class quality of FCPS and its many valuable programs.

Taxpayers Need Local Oversight Of Their Local School Districts To Protect The Educational Interests Of Students And The Financial Interests of Taxpayers.
The superintendent of the Public Schools of Robeson County writes a letter to the chairman of the North Carolina State Board of Education requesting direct intervention and assistance from the state. She cites ongoing conflicts between the school board and district leadership that are undermining educational progress and creating financial instability. The superintendent argues the school board is unable to make strategic decisions or establish stable governance, and asks the state board to take over the district's budget, employment, and capital project decisions to allow improvements to continue.

This letter was presented at a recent school board meeting and addresses the USD 400 school board's recent decision to close MES, one of the district's elementary schools. The letter questions why only two options were presented to address the district's budget shortfall rather than additional options like moving grades between schools. It also questions whether the decision was truly about money given the amount spent per student annually and suggests declining enrollment may result from constantly closing schools.

A coalition of parents, community members, and education organizations in Fayette County, KY are rallying to call for more K-12 funding in the state's 2014-16 budget. Funding cuts over the past five years have hit schools hard and action is needed. The coalition plans to educate the community on the effects of cuts and ask leaders to prioritize education funding. A rally will be held on January 23rd to urge legislators to increase education funding as the budget is crafted. Kentucky has fallen behind other states that increased education funding after the recession.
Letter to editor usd 400 administration marquette & ExpensesBrian Hopp
This letter addresses concerns about budget cuts and school closures in USD 400 school district. It questions why only two options were presented to address budget shortfalls, including closing Marquette Elementary School. The letter suggests a third option of reconfiguring grade levels across schools could have addressed overcrowding and kept buildings utilized. It analyzes the district's budget and expenditures per student over time and questions whether closures are truly about money or other factors like school enrollment numbers and athletic classifications. The letter expresses disappointment that previous promises about keeping schools open were not upheld and hopes it is not too late to keep the once unified district together.

Inequality in American Schools
Puritans of Massachusetts established the first public school and decided that these schools will get funds from property-tax receipts. Initially, the system of using property tax to fund local school was performing equally. In her article, XXX argues that education is unequal in the United States because students from poor district perform at levels several grades below those from the richer district. This is because of inequality in the money supplies to schools to fund public schools. Public schools are financed by different states depending on their contribution to tax collection. Most of the poor districts contribute low property tax because properties are less valued and only poor people stay in those districts. Because of this, public utilities such as schools lack adequate resources to support learning. The standard measure for economic hardship does not present the magnitude of the learning gap between poorest and richest students. The federal government and education sector in the United States needs to formulate policies that support the implementation of equal acts.
Public education became mandatory at the end of the 19th century and the responsibility for educating students was given to states rather than the national government. States gave more money for schools, even for schools that relied on property tax. However, regional disparities that arose due to increased urbanization lead to inequalities in schools. Areas with less valued properties or poor families had less money available for schools. As a result, schools in poor districts had fewer resources to support education. In the early 20th century, states started to provide grants to all districts to ensure equitable funding. Nonetheless, wealthier districts increased property values making the state subsidies to increased, hence, causing more education disparities. Advocates and activists have filed claims to push for equality in the American education system. Most of these efforts failed due to opposition in the Congress, the audience for this essay is to inform the federal government and local government that poor districts where most of the disadvantages students come from need more money to finance their education.
States should design a formula that will allow districts to share revenues for education to be more equitable. My argument is that states should give poor district enough money for disadvantaged students to have the ability to perform as wealthier students. Students in wealthier district have access to school psychologists, personal laptops, up-to-date exercise books, and counsellors. High-poverty areas do not access these resources. These areas have more students who need extra help, yet they have fewer tutors, guidance counsellors, and psychologists (Semuels, p1). They also have poorly paid teachers, bigger classes size, and poor facilities. This situation is experie ...
This document proposes a Committed College Coaches program to improve the college-going culture in Lucas County, Ohio. Currently, less than 14% of residents have a bachelor's degree. The program would assign college coaches to work with students from 5th grade through their sophomore year of college, providing mentorship and guidance through the college application and enrollment process. Coaches would help students explore career interests and see college as attainable. If implemented, the program aims to increase the rate of residents with college degrees and support economic development in the county.

This document summarizes concerns regarding changes to the student bussing system by Livingstone Range School Division. It outlines 7 safety issues that make walking difficult or dangerous for students in the Crowsnest Pass region, including highways, railroads, wildlife, weather, and shift work schedules. Research indicates the proposed one-bus system and strict pickup/drop-off policy conflicts with recommendations from an earlier transportation review. The presentation requests consideration of separate bussing for young students, transportation options for ineligible students, and allowing drops at alternative caregivers to address the unique safety challenges in a rural, mountainous community.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) requests that the State of Hawaii prioritize collecting and reporting disaggregated data on Native Hawaiians relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, OHA asks for disaggregated data from the Departments of Health, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Human Services on topics like COVID-19 cases, unemployment claims, and applications for assistance programs. Disaggregated data is critical to understand how the pandemic is impacting Native Hawaiians and to direct resources most effectively. OHA also requests information on how race data is currently collected by these agencies.
The CLA audit of OHA from 2012-2016 found significant issues in OHA's procurement processes and identified $7.8 million across 32 transactions as potentially fraudulent, wasteful, or abusive. The audit found 85% of transactions reviewed contained issues of noncompliance with policies and laws, while 17% (32 transactions) were flagged as "red flags". Common issues included missing procurement documents, lack of evidence that contractors delivered on obligations, and contracts incorrectly classified as exempt from competitive bidding. The audit provides a roadmap for OHA to investigate potential wrongdoing and implement reforms to address deficiencies.

Superintendent Kathryn S. Matayoshi HAND DELIVERY
Hawaii State Department of Education
1390 Miller Street
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
RE: APPROPRIATION REQUEST FOR TRANSPORTATION COSTS
Dear Superintendent Matayoshi:
Over the past week, it would appear that numerous communications have been issued by the
Department of Education concerning student bus transportation services for School Year 2012-2013,
based on the deliberations currently taking place on the State Budget. Among them were:
• A flyer issued by Assistant Superintendent Randolph G. Moore dated April 13, 2012,
listing schools throughout the State that may have bus service eliminated;
• An email dated that same day from Communications Director Sandra Goya stating that
the Department has decided to hold off on distributing Assistant Superintendent
Moore’s communication; and
• An email dated April 19, 2012 from Complex Area Superintendent Patricia Park, urging
DOE employees to contact myself and Senator David Ige, Chair of the Committee on
Ways and Means, to ‘Influence decision makers regarding funding the $20M shortfall
for public school buses/transportation.”
As a matter of fairness, I request the opportunity to clarify my position on this issue as Chair of
the House Committee on Finance. As your Department saw fit to distribute certain information to
parents and teachers, it is my hope that you will do the same with this letter.
As an elected legislator, it is my responsibility along with my colleagues in the House and the
Senate, to ensure that the limited resources provided by taxpayers are used efficiently, effectively, and
responsibly. Further, as Chair of the House Committee on Finance, I have been directed to specifically
review all of the requests for resources received and provide recommendations that best meets the
needs of the entire State. This is an awesome responsibility which I take very seriously.
2. Letter to Superintendent Kathryn S. Matayoshi
April 19, 2012
Page 2
The request made by the Department of Education for transportation services has raised
serious questions. Here are just a few points to consider:
• Under the terms of the current bus contract as negotiated between the Department of
Education and bus companies, the cost to transport kids to and from school each year is
$79 million. This exceeds the total budgets of seven entire State Departments —
Agriculture; Business, Economic Development and Tourism; Defense; Office of the
Governor; Labor; Land and Natural Resources; and the Lieutenant Governor.
• Under the current contracts, taxpayers pay $76 of the $79 million, or 96% of the total
amount.
• The federal government requires that the State pay for special education students to
ride the school bus, which accounts for only $35 million. My question to you is this —
How does the remaining $44 million get paid?
• Families must pay around $270 for their children to ride the bus annually. As only 50%
of the riders are paying, your Department collects approximately $2.75 million toward
the total transportation costs. The State must therefore pick up nearly 94%, or $41
million of the total cost, all of which comes from taxpayer dollars.
• Under current contracts, the cost of transporting a child to and from school runs about
$1,251 annually. Taxpayers must pay $1,171 of this, while your Department pays only
$80 from fares collected. This calculates to families paying 50 cents per day for round
trip transportation to and from school for their child. The average round-trip distance
on Oahu is 15 miles and for neighbor islands, 20 miles.
• As families pay only 50 cents per day for their child to ride the bus, the cost to all State
taxpayers to provide this service daily is an additional $6.50. In other words, the State is
subsidizing each student $6.50 per day to ride the school bus. For this amount,
taxpayers could buy four (4) annual City and County bus passes for every child who
currently rides the school bus. And with a City and County bus pass. the child would
have access to bus services on school days, after school, weekends, and holidays and
could go anywhere on the island.
If the general public knew of this, I’m sure they would be as outraged as I am. Clearly,
something is wrong with the way your Department is managing the school transportation services.
The millions that are being spent inefficiently are wasted. The millions that are wasted should be put
to better use.
3. Letter to Superintendent Kathryn S. Matayoshi
April 19, 2012
Page 3
Your Department has taken the extreme and inflammatory position that if the status quo is not
continued, your Department will cease services to communities throughout the State. From my view,
this is irresponsible fear-mongering. Unfortunately, this seriously puts into question the management
and credibility of your entire Department.
Finally, I take great umbrage to Complex Area Superintendent Park’s characterization that the
budgetary actions taken by the Legislature will “dramatically affect the quality of lifefor our ‘local’ and
military impacted students and their families. The decision will be [made] this coming Tuesday, April
23 by the Conference Committee. Unfortunately, no testimonies can be given at the closed meeting.”
[Emphasis added.]
Not only is the suggestion premature and speculative, it fails to explain the alternatives
available and being considered by the DOE itself. Likewise, to suggest that the Conference Committee
would be “closed” to the public is to further incite public reaction based upon false and misleading
accusations. That your Complex Area Superintendent would choose to mislead her colleagues is very
disappointing and reflects poorly on your Department.
I welcome your thoughts on this and would greatly appreciate an opportunity to discuss this
with you and Board of Education Chair Don Homer, in person, at your earliest convenience. Please
contact my office to schedule a time that best meets your availability.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 586-6200.
Very Truly Yours,

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Student Bus Transportation Service Cuts for School Year 201 2-13
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
The Legislature is considering a budget bill that will decrease the Hawaii State Department of Education’s student
bus transportation budget by approximately $20 million.
The final state budget is expected to be approved by the Legislature on May 3, 2012. A likely outcome is that most
regular school bus service will not be offered in school year 2012-13. A reduction to DOE’s transportation budget
by $20 million will potentially eliminate bus service for the following schools:
Big Island
• all middle/intermediate and high schools
• elementary schools: De Silva, Haaheo, Hilo Union, Holualoa, Kahakai, Kalanianaole, Kapiolani, Kaumana,
Keaukaha, Kealakehe, Waiakea, Waiakea Waena
• EXCEPTION: Service will continue for Pahoa High & Intermediate, Keaau High, Keaau Middle, and Kau High
and Pahala Elementary
Kauai
• all middle and high schools
• elementary schools: Wilcox
• POSSIBLE EXCEPTION: Kapaa Middle and Kapaa High students living beyond Kilauea
Maui
• all intermediate and high schools
• elementary schools: Kahului, Lihikai, Pomaikai, Wailuku
• EXCEPTION: students in grades K-5 at Hana High & Elementary will continue to have service
• POSSIBLE EXCEPTION: some students in grades 6-12 at Hana High & Elementary, Maui High students
living in Kihei, lao Intermediate and Baldwin High students living beyond Waihee, and Lahaina Intermediate
and Lahainaluna High students living beyond Kapalua
Molokai
• Molokai Middle and Molokai High
• POSSIBLE EXCEPTION: Molokai Middle and Molokai High students living in Maunaloa and beyond Kaunakakai
Oahu
• all middle/intermediate and high schools
• all elementary schools
• EXCEPTION: Leihoku, Maili, Makaha, Nanaikapono, Nanakuli, Waianae elementary schools
In preparation for next school year, parents who planned to have their children ride the regular school bus should
begin exploring alternative transportation options to and from the schools listed above.
The DOE will provide an update to this notice in May 2012. Email questions or concerns to doe_info@notes.kl2.hi.us.
Sincerely,
~c~&4L

During the next several weeks we will be refining the cost to suspend school bus service, either
by canceling contracts and paying the contractors for the unamortized cost of buses, less their
current market value, or paying the idle bus charge that is set forth in contracts. We will also
continue to work with bus contractors on immediate cost reductions so that the service reductions
can be moderated.
We expect to propose to the Board of Education in early May a firm plan to deal with the
reduction in funds.

URGENT, URGENT, URGENT- SCHOOL BUSES!!!!! ii!!!!!
9. Colleagues,
It is very urgent and imperative that you communicate with others to see if you can
influence the decision makers regarding funding the $20M shortfall for public school
buses/transportation. Should there not be adequate funding, other then buses for
special needs students, almost all of Oahu schools will no longer have school buses.
This will dramatically affect the quality of life for our “local” and military impacted
students and their families.
The decision will be make this coming Tuesday, April 23 by the Conference Committee.
Unfortunately, no testimonies can be given at the closed meeting.
HOWEVER, THE APPROPRIATE LEADERS MUST RECEIVE YOUR LETTER, TEXT MESSAGE,
PHONE CALLS, ETC. BY TOMORROW 4/20. Pertinent information at the end of the e
mail.
Please communicate this message to everyone today and encourage them to lend their
“voices” by tomorrow.
Thank you for your assistance and commitment especially with this “sense of urgency”
-
that we are facing RIGHT NOW.
MAHALO.
fondly,
Pat
