  • Superintendent's Weekly Wrap-Up
    Superintendent’s Weekly Wrap-up: Nov. 25 – Dec. 2 Senate Education Committee The Senate Education Committee met the week of November 14-18 and heard testimony on House Bill (HB) 96, HB 157 and Senate Bill (SB) 220. HB 96, sponsored by Rep. Ted Celeste (D-Columbus) and Rep. Andrew Brenner (R-Powell), seeks to designate dyslexia as a specific learning disability and to require a pilot project to provide early screening and intervention services for children with dyslexia. Several witnesses offered proponent testimony and Ann Brennan, director of the Ohio School Psychologists Association, gave written opponent testimony. In opposition, Brennan said school psychologists do not believe it is appropriate and are opposed to the requirement of screening students six and under for dyslexia, as during this time literacy skills are still emerging. HB 157, sponsored by Rep. Kirk Schuring (R-Canton) and Rep. Tom Letson (D- Warren), would authorize educational service centers to provide teacher professional development on dyslexia. Several witnesses testified in support of this legislation. Sen. Tom Sawyer (D-Akron) offered sponsor testimony on SB 220, legislation to require a study of interdistrict open enrollment, and to repeal sections of the Ohio Revised Code effective July 1, 2015, to terminate interdistrict open enrollment on that date with the possibility of renewal following the study's findings. During testimony Sawyer described the bill as an internationally broad and non- prescriptive piece of legislation that would allow Ohio to study the effects of its 22-year long “pilot program” on open enrollment. House Education Committee The House Education Committee met the week of November 14-18 and heard testimony on HB 205, HB 375 and HB 219.

  • Trends in Military & Student Veteran Complaints About Devry University
    Trends in Military & Student Veteran Complaints About DeVry University 300 different servicemembers, veterans, and their dependents brought complaints to Veterans Education Success about issues they had with DeVry University. This document contains the narratives of 193 complainants and organizes the complaints by the types of harm they raise and provides context and background information. For each type of harm, a list of narratives organized by final year of attendance is included. Comparison of Complaints Received by VES to Complaints Received by VA The chart below compares the closed complaints VA has against DeVry and the complaints received by Veterans Education Success. VA Complaints VES Complaints VA % VES % Totals 153 266 - - Financial Issues 95 196 62% 73% Quality of Education 25 91 16% 34% Refund Issues 15 33 10% 12% Recruiting/Marketing 24 75 16% 28% Accreditation 17 75 11% 28% Change in Degree Plan/Req's 10 28 7% 10% Student Loans 61 151 40% 57% Grade Policy 10 28 7% 10% Transfer of Credits 27 68 18% 25% Post-Graduation Job Opport's 30 73 20% 27% Release of Transcripts 14 41 9% 15% In every category, more students complained to Veterans Education Success (VES) than are reported in VA’s closed cases. Several areas of complaint are similarly common both at VA and VES. For example, financial issues and student loan problems are the top issue DeVry students complain the most about – both among cases handled at VA and those received by VES. Post-graduation job opportunities was the third highest category of complaint in VA’s cases, but was a less frequent concern raised by complaints to VES, and, indeed, does not break the top five concerns raised to VES.
