the state university of new york, the university of indiana in michigan have also approve some of those states' most successful charter schools. local school boards look at things in a different way. they consider their district's own financial situation when volting on charter school bus that focus sometimes interferes with the view of the greater good, quality, viable public school choices for parents and students that address the needs of their district. unreasonable denials by school districts can be appealed and that's one they have provisions of this. from my own experience on the state board of education, i know the appeal prosssess is less desirable for a numb of reasons. it's only reactive and only addresses whether a denial was valid or not. it's not proactive in developing innovative learning models. two, appeals can address cool district delays in approving charter schools. there's a way of killing by delays, burying under paperwork, unreasonable request after unreasonable request from the school district to the founds of the charter school that lead to the aban tonment of t

brian barrett, an education professor at the state university of new york, describes the unique contributions black churches play in cultivating successful students in inner cities. he observes that, quote, religious socialization reinforces attitudes, outlooks, behaviors and be practices, particularly through individuals' commitments to and adoption of the goals and expectations of the group. end of quote. now, these are the things that are conducive to positive educational outcomes. in fact, back in 2009 barrett reported in another article that for black inner city youth who report to religious services often, the black/white achievement gap, quote, was eliminated. i'll say that again. the black/white achievement gap was eliminated simply because students in low-performing schools in bad neighborhoods were actively involved in religious life and in religious community. barrett reports that one of the most important advantages of inner city churches is that they provide a community where black students are valued both for their academic success and, more broadly, as human beings and members
