DESCRIPTORS *Charter Schools; Educational Change; *Educational Vouchers; Elementary Secondary Education; Federal Legislation; *Free Choice Transfer Programs; Grants; *Private Sector; Program Development; *School Choice; State Legislation; *State Programs ABSTRACT School choice advocates made many advances in 1994, and many states seem ready to pass school choice legislation in 1995. This report describes the state of school choice efforts in the individual states. School choice advocates look for action by the Federal Government as Congress discusses ways to help states implement choice, whether by vouchers, block grants, or other approaches. In 1994 there were increased numbers of privately sponsored school choice programs funded by corporations, individuals, and charitable organizations. Analysis of the reports from individual states yields information about school choice. Of the 44 state legislatures that met in 1994, some sort of school choice legislation was introduced or pending in 25 states. Forty state governors have indicated their support for school choice, and at least 41 states have significant policy groups or grassroots coalitions working for school choice. Ten states have implemented charter school legislation, and many other states are deliberating about charter schools. Several thousand students attended the school of their choice under 1 of 16 privately sponsored voucher programs in 1994.

I’m Senator Buono, the Chair of the Senate Legislative Oversight Committee. We are here today to discuss the circumstances surrounding the application for Race to the Top funding. It was described in detail in the subpoena -- the resolution that supports the subpoena which is demanding the production of documents and the appearance of certain witnesses here today. I just wanted to begin -- before we welcome and swear in the first witness -- that the contractor for the State of New Jersey who was hired to help draft, edit, and prepare the Race to the Top application was in court this morning before Judge Feinberg, with the Attorney General’s office, attempting to raise certain privileges -- executive privilege, other privileges as well -- that would have resulted in Wireless not appearing and producing documents before the Committee.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kimberly Scalcione November 12, 2019 M: 201-376-0699 E: [email protected] ** Press Release ** Mayor Fulop Invites all Living Jersey City Mayors for Historic Event to Address Census 2020 JERSEY CITY –Mayor Steven Fulop has invited all living former Mayors to City Hall on Wednesday, November 13, 2019 to participate in a historic Census 2020 awareness event. For the first time in the history of Jersey City, the current and former Mayors will join forces to advocate for the upcoming Census 2020 count, addressing the importance of the Census and how it ultimately effects the people, the culture, the infrastructure, and all other critical aspects that make Jersey City the great city it is today. The U.S. constitution mandates the federal government count every resident of the United States every 10 years. It’s estimated that for every resident not accounted for, the city will lose out on $15,000 in federal funding over the next ten years. Mayor Fulop, understanding the importance of the Census and its implications for the next decade, spearheaded this historic event and has kept Jersey City at the forefront as this once-in-a-decade event nears. “The goal is to come together and to show our community how important it is to be fully counted next spring. The Census impacts every aspect of our city and our community – from emergency response, to schools, to our congressional districts,” said Mayor Fulop. “An inaccurate count of Jersey City’s residents in the past has led to unfair and unequal political representation and inequitable access to vital public and private resources.

Both groups represent areas of the world where Tony Blair has demonstrated a commitment to promoting peace.

  • Events List April 1974-June 2013
    Irish Heritage Irish Heritage was established in 1974 by Ethna and Charles Kennedy to promote the best of Irish and Anglo-Irish music, literature and drama to audiences in Britain. It had its first performance on 4th April 1974 in the Hall of the Inner Temple in London – a bi-centenary tribute to Oliver Goldsmith. Ethna and Charles recognised, at the time, the need to enhance the image of Ireland and its cultural heritage through the promotion of high quality musical and other artistic events. From the beginning they set a standard of professional performances which has endured to this day. Charles Kennedy died in 1979 but Ethna has remained as Artistic Director and is the driving force of Irish Heritage. The listing of events below is a reminder of the breadth and variety of performances down through the years. A separate listing of the artists who have appeared in Irish Heritage performances has also been produced and is also displayed on this website. These listings are up to date as at June 2013 and have been compiled from records held by Ethna and Committee members. We regret if there are any omissions or errors.
