Many homeowners are losing their homes because they lack the ability to navigate the landscape of our lending laws. The Legal Services Corporation ('LSC'), the major federal source of funding for civil representation for the poor, reports that nonprofit legal services programs across the nation are 'besieged with requests for foreclosure assistance.'

Exacerbating the barriers for teens are the widespread statutory restrictions that exist because so few states recognize teens as victims of domestic abuse. In fact, teens experience abuse at extremely high rates and young women between the ages of 16 and 24 exhibit the highest rates of abuse—above any other age group."

EDUCATION--PUPILS--GRADUATION. Notes: "This report builds upon a series of National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports on high school dropout, completion, and graduation rates that began in 1988. The report includes discussions of many rates used to study how students complete or fail to complete high school. It presents estimates of rates for 2007 and provides data about trends in dropout and completion rates over the last three and a half decades (1972-2007) along with more recent estimates of on-time graduation. Among findings in the report was that among reporting states in 2006, the averaged freshman graduation rate (AFGR) was 73.2 percent. The rate provides an estimate of the percentage of public high school students who graduate with a regular diploma 4 years after starting 9th grade. The report also shows that students living in low-income families were approximately 10 times more likely to drop out of high school between 2006 and 2007 than were students living in high-income families. In October 2007, approximately 3.3 million civilian noninstitutionalized 16- through 24-year-olds were not enrolled in high school and had not earned a high school diploma or alternative credential."

Notes: "This first Early Care and Education State Budget Actions report is a compilation of data provided by state fiscal staff gathered through a survey of the 50 states and territories about state appropriations in FY 2007 and FY 2008. Because the goal of the survey was to collect data on state appropriations, it did not survey state appropriation of federal funds. The findings do, where noted, report on federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) dollars that were appropriated as authorized in federal law by transfer or direct spending on child care. NCSL surveyed states about state appropriations to four categories of early care and education: • Child care, • Prekindergarten, • Parent education and home visiting, and • Related early learning programs."

Title: FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN IN CALIFORNIA : Lessons from Los Angeles (Book) --2009. Source: PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA Pages: 30+ Subject: 1. EDUCATION--PRESCHOOL. Notes: "Almost half of California public school kindergarten students attend full-day classes. To understand how a longer class day might benefits students, the authors examined about 200,000 kindergarten records in the Los Angeles Unified School District and found that full-day kindergarten does seem to help reduce the chances of being retained in early grades. But full-day students do not seem to have better second-grade test scores, nor do English learners improve their English fluency at higher rates. Certain subpopulations might benefit more than others; given current budgetary constraints, policymakers may find it more effective to target full-day classes to schools most likely to benefit, such as those with low API rankings."

Notes: "Early college high schools are schools affiliated with two- or four-year postsecondary institutions that permit students to take college courses while simultaneously earning their high school diplomas. The credits can be transferred to other colleges after the students finish high school. The students accepted into early colleges are not always the most gifted students in the district. In fact, they seldom are. Most early college schools target populations that are underrepresented in higher education—those from low-income families, racial and ethnic minorities, and first-generation college students."

EDUCATION--PUPILS--MINORITIES. 2. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Notes: "A glance at a few newspaper headlines reveals that the issue of undocumented persons living in the United States is controversial. Schools districts are affected directly by this issue because undocumented children attend public elementary and secondary schools. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Plyler v. Doe that undocumented children have a constitutional right to receive a free public K-12 education. This booklet discusses 13 legal questions commonly asked by school board members and school administrators related to undocumented students. Unfortunately, few of the questions have definitive answers. Plyler directly addressed only the narrow question of whether undocumented children are entitled to receive a free public school education. Plyler is the sole U.S. Supreme Court case dealing with the rights of undocumented children in public schools. Moreover, lower court cases and state laws rarely address the questions raised in this booklet." URL: http://www.nea.org/assets/docs/09undocumentedchildren.pdf

Title: NONPRESCRIPTION DRUGS : Considerations regarding a behind-the-counter drug class (Book) --2009. Source: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE (GAO) Pages: 54 Subject: 1. DRUGS, LEGAL. Notes: "In the United States, most nonprescription drugs are available over-the-counter (OTC) in pharmacies and other stores. Experts have suggested that drug availability could be increased by establishing an additional class of nonprescription drugs that would be held behind the counter (BTC) but would require the intervention of a pharmacist before being dispensed; a similar class of drugs exists in many other countries. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not developed a detailed proposal for a BTC drug class, it held a public meeting in 2007 to explore the public health implications of BTC drug availability. GAO was asked to update its 1995 report, Nonprescription Drugs: Value of a Pharmacist-Controlled Class Has Yet to Be Demonstrated (GAO/PEMD-95-12). Specifically, GAO is reporting on (1) arguments supporting and opposing a U.S. BTC drug class, (2) changes in drug availability in five countries since 1995 and the impact of restricted nonprescription classes on availability, and (3) issues important to the establishment of a BTC drug class. GAO reviewed documents and consulted with pharmaceutical experts. To examine drug availability across countries, GAO studied five countries it had reported on in 1995 (Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and determined how 86 drugs available in all five countries were classified in each country."

School Breakfast Program (SBP) participants ate more low-nutrient energy-dense (LNED) baked goods and more calories at breakfast than did nonparticipants. National School Lunch Program (NSLP) participants had lower intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and a lower percentage of calories from LNED foods and beverages than did nonparticipants. Overall, NSLP participation was not significantly related to students’ BMI, although participants were less likely to be overweight or obese than nonparticipants among Black students but more likely to be so among “other race” students. SBP participants had significantly lower BMI than did nonparticipants, possibly because SBP participants are more likely to eat breakfast and eat more at breakfast, spreading calorie intake more evenly over the course of the day."

Notes: "Congress created the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to reduce the number of uninsured children in low-income families that do not qualify for Medicaid. States have flexibility in structuring their SCHIP programs, and their income eligibility limits vary. Concerns have been raised that individuals might substitute SCHIP for private health insurance--known as crowd-out. GAO was asked to examine the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) and states' efforts to minimize crowd-out and determine whether it should be a concern. GAO examined (1) CMS's guidance to states for minimizing crowd-out and assessment of whether it should be a concern and (2) states' policies to minimize crowd-out and how they assess whether it should be a concern. To do the work, GAO reviewed federal laws and guidance, examined state annual reports, and interviewed CMS officials. GAO also interviewed SCHIP officials from nine states."

Rates of private coverage are lowest in districts that have higher poverty rates which tend to be concentrated in the South and West and uninsurance remains most serious in districts with low rates of private coverage. This analysis identifies the districts in which residents would have the most to gain from health reforms that are designed to increase health insurance coverage toward a higher and more uniform national standard."
