deb'd like to again thank and her colleagues at the department of education for the leadership of the federal partners in bullying prevention and the steering committee. this has been an outstanding partnership across a number of federal agencies including the department of justice. i'm proud of that it office of justice programs has been a part of this work. i am pleased to be here representing the department of justice along with my colleagues including thep, administrator of the office of juvenile justice and deliberately prevention who will be part of a panel later on today. this is an excellent opportunity to talk about our commitment to addressing the link between bullying and life outcomes for young people, particularly in addressing academic success and avoiding involvement with the juvenile and criminal justice systems, because if we do our ofs well, you can put us out business. we know through research conducted by the national center for school encasement that bullying adversely affect school attendance and we know generally that truancy and dropping out of school are risk

overdraft fees are inconsistent with the department of education's existing rule of school sponsored accounts. the department of education rules also require that students be provided convenient atm access. in practice, access can be limited. one argument that is being made is that too many low income students are not able to acquire a bank account other than on campus. consumer financial protection bureau found less than half a incent of college students america are legitimately unable to secure a bank account. a new student to comes onto campus without a bank account -- she doesn't have one because she chose not to have one or hasn't gotten one yet. students do not need campus sponsored bank accounts. i urge you to consider legislation that bans revenue-sharing agreements between colleges and banks or financial firms rafted specifically to offer bank accounts and related banking products. the conflicts of interest is problematic for students and consumers and needs to be addressed. inc. you. -- thank you. >> thank you. mr. kocer, pleace proceed. >> thank you for inviting me. promote

school board members that i talk to, all over the country, there is a feeling that the federal department of education is outside of its lane in terms of dictating what school should be able to do. not even through the regular regulatory process through things like calling letters and other statements that are driving policy without an opportunity for a full conversation. that is number one. secondly there is a there is a very strong feeling about the differences. eling that there is a 10 year -- tin ear, that policy is inflexible. at some level i think they are well motivated and what they are trying to do. but the fact of the matter is i think there is a fundamental disconnect between what they are saying and what they are directing school districts to do, and how districts actually operate. there is respect for local schools. they feel disrespected. >> let me provide a slightly different perspective here. when i think about federal policy in where it is important, i think about it as leverage, important leverage to help education leaders to do what they know they need to do but it is often hard to

in florida, the state law encouraged by the department of education decided every teacher needed to have a number that reflected test scores of some sort next to every teacher's name. well, the problem is, is not every subject area is tested and not every grade level is tested. if you are a second grade teacher in orlando and they wait to third 2k3wr5id but says i have to put a test score number, they said, okay, here is a k-2 schoolacts primary school. they had no standardized testing for that entire school so they picked another school, the third graders, and put those scores and put them next to the teacher's name. kids. is not responsible for anything. it's just that important that we have a number. it's absurd to ridiculous and how in the world does anybody support something like that? >> if we go to this testing-based performance assessment, will you choose elmo instead of san antonio, scars detail instead of the south bronx almost by a rigid law of averages, better-off kids are going to do better? you are going look better, you will get your raise and put together a career as a te

i think that the game changer was it -- the department of education's 2011 dear colleague letter to colleges and universities. when the department of education issued that letter and in numerous steps that they've taken since then, the federal government has gotten much more involved in the problem of sexual assaults on campus. there's been the white house task force and most recently the legislation coming out of the senate. i mean, i think that was the real game changer. >> who must take the lead in campus sexual assault cases? >> i think that it really needs to be a joined effort. in today's day and age, as we see in the case inform ferguson, people don't trust the police anymo anymore. victims are unlikely to want to go to the police knowing in all likelihood they will face further judgment and revictimization when they go to the police. oftentimes campuses try to prevent thementsz as friendly towards the student says as a safe space to be. i think colleges have a great opportunity to reach out. >> you have to wonder, miss harris, do college campuses have the staffing and financial capab
