Pennsylvania Private Specialized School Case Study

Education is primarily a state and local responsibility in the United States. It is the states and its communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation. In Pennsylvania, the enactment of Act 61 of 2008 will make funding for public education in Pennsylvania more adequate, equitable, and predictable for the first time since 1991. Although tax systems change from year to year, sources of revenue for education in many states in the U.S. comprise predominantly of general sales tax, individual income tax, selective sales taxes, corporation net income and property taxes.

To become licensed, applicants must: be fingerprinted and pass a criminal background check, have at least a Bachelor’s degree, complete a nationally accredited physician assistant program (possible Master’s degree), pass a national certification exam (PANCE), and be supervised by a person licensed to practice medicine in any given area. Once a PA is officially licensed and certified, they can begin earning and logging their needed CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits. CME’s are earned every two years by attending

To gain accreditation, the process is very time consuming and thus took many years and help from a diverse group to gather. It wasn’t until March of 2006 that the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) awarded the option of accreditation to physician assistant programs with residencies. To give an idea of the depth of the standards to which each accredited program is held to, I have listed the following: having a full and active faculty and staff team assembled, adequate funding, having access to patients to further the skill of the student, enroll students full-time with a minimum duration of 6 months, and offer clinical and didactic training (Ballweg et al., 2013 p.

Kassandra MacPherson graduated college with a biology degree, while minoring in psychology which she states “lined up perfectly” with her requirements for PA school. Other requirements for graduate school include a minimum of 1000 hours of other medical experience such as, Emergency Medical Services, Paramedic and many more. Depending on the graduate school an intrigued student wants to attend, the limitations and requirements regarding acceptance vary. MacPherson suggested being informed of the requirements

This way, public funds will transfer to the appropriate school; this provision will ensure that the allocated dollar per-pupil ($9,492) will actually follow the respective student, rather than the initial public charter school that a student attended. In connection to the audit provided in Solution 1, every charter school will be accountable for assessing student mobility in their financial audit. Not only does this mandate protect the intended allocation of public funds from the hardworking tax payers, but it also guarantees that each student will receive an adequate amount of funds to that parallels the funds invested in another charter school

Roanoke Valley Governor’s School is known for its Project Forum. Students can work independently on creating a research study project that has a great potential for changing the world. Two subjects I am passionate about are improving the environment and finding the most efficient way to learn. My two ideas for Project Forum involve making a more friendly car for the environment and finding what type of note taking students learn the best from.

Saginaw Public School District, located in Saginaw Michigan is the urban school district of Saginaw, Michigan. The district has approximately 7,500 students and operates 15 schools which include, 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school and 3 high schools. Over the past 10 years there has been a drastic decrease in student enrollment. The main cause of the decrease in enrollment include Michigan’s failing economy. The closing of automobile factories has resulted in a huge decrease in the city of Saginaw’s populations. During the past 10 years there has also been closing of many schools in the Saginaw Public School District. The district is also operating in a deficit and has been required by the state of Michigan to decide a plan to eliminate

The case I chose was one that took place in Houston, TX, in the Houston Independent School District. I chose it because Houston is where I was born and grew up, and I wanted to use a case that felt close to home for me. This case was about a student who, throughout the course of about two years, displayed several signs of aggression, defiance, and general misbehavior both in class and at home. The misbehaviors ranged from “pestering and irritating” his/her siblings at home, throwing tantrums, and becoming easily upset or angered. The student also led a lonely life, both in class and school, expressing dislike and resentment towards siblings and other family members, as well as stating that student “feels student has no friends.” In class, the

Unlike other nations, the United States’ school systems are primarily run and funded on the local and state level who also determine curriculum and educational standards. The function of the Department of Education according to their mission statement is to “establish policy for, administer and coordinate most federal assistance to education, collect raw data on schools in the United States and to enforce federal educational laws regarding privacy and civil rights.” Under the department of education there are several offices that take on different responsibilities to fulfill their mission by creating programs and providing funds to schools. For example, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Office of Postsecondary Education, and the Office of Vocational and Adult Education. Another example is the Federal Student Aid office which is responsible for assisting students financially who are pursuing higher education through FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student

There are some types of schools that are not funded by local authorises. These are known as †̃independent schoolsâ€TM and †̃academiesâ€TM.

On November 18, 1867, the first school district was established in Arizona Territory. It was located in Pima County, in the community of Tucson. This was an important step for the advancement of education in the region because the schools were considered “a free and tax supported” public school system. This evolution required the Territorial Governor of the times to propose and secure legislation creating the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1871. This evolved in today’s current system consisting of the Arizona Department of Education and the Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction when President Taft approved Arizona's
