Carney's Commentary
The Achiever (NCLB) Feb. 1, 2005, Vol. 4, No.2
The ED program recognizes stellar teachers and Oklahoma has Patty Berkley, 1st grade teacher in Oologah! “The neatest thing about teaching first grade is convincing the kids that they can read!”
Education Week, Feb. 16, 2005 (Vol. 24, No. 23)
Items making front page of EW: 1) Bush Budget plan would end 48 programs; 2) documentary films are running into expiration rights preventing schools from obtaining copies, e.g. “Eyes on the Prize”; 3) more school boards are ‘mulling’ Policy Governance; 4) subject qualification vexing for teachers in special ed.
p.23, 2 Illinois districts sue USDE re: NCLB Act conflict with those of IDEA.
p.25, OK makes the news. Gov. Henry presents $114 Million Achieving Classroom Excellence (ACE). Included are teacher raises and teacher health insurance-passed by the legislature last year but not funded. The lottery and gaming to produce the revenues.

Hooray for those Illinois districts! NCLB and IDEA *do* conflict -- and disabled kids are going to be harassed right out of school if we don't start paying attention.
