As the principal of any school you have the increased responsibility for the compiling to the rules of the local school district as well as state and federal guideline. This becomes especially true as you undertake the challenge of serving as principal of the Elm Street Elementary School. The Elm Street Elementary School is a small suburban school located in Prairie Hills, USA. This school serves students in kindergarten to fifth grade.
As a result of the location of the school in a suburban community, the parents are very actively involved in the school. As a result of the active of the supportive parents in the community, the students arrived every day with a smile on their faces and generally prepared for learning. However, as with

I also share that she is entitled to religious beliefs as long as she does not share them with the students (Whitehead, 2002). The reading of the Bible is acceptable in the public schools as long as the teacher does not promote a particular religion for the students in her class according to the First Amendment (Whitehead, 2002). The teacher can only discuss religion and the Bible if it relates to a subject matter that is outlined in the approved curriculum (Whitehead, 2002).
Teachers must be careful not to even share Bible readings with students as this is declared unconstitutional by state and district courts (Abington School District v. Schempp,1963). The sharing of Bible readings even without teacher comment may violate the students First and Fourteenth Amendment Rights (Essex,2012). Teachers must therefore follow the guidelines of the Lemon Test that stipulates the fact that teachers must only teach courses that are offered in the public schools using materials that they are designated to use in public schools and agree not to teach courses in religion (Lemon v. Kurtzman and Early v. Dicenso, 1971).
Students, however may read the bible during non-instructional times (Essex, 2012). In a Cypress Fairbanks Indiana School Case, a second grade student was reading the bible during

Is the reading of Bible verses before class deemed unconstitutional under the 1st and 14th Amendments? The plaintiff stated that the Bible readings before class goes against his family’s 1st and 14th amendments. Their freedom of religion was compromised when Schempp’s children had to sit in public schools and be subjected to the Bible, when their family is Atheists. As well that they have equal protection under the 14th Amendment to the
Mr. President, on July 18, 2014 the United States Sentencing Commission amended policy 1B1.10. This amendment, amendment 782, reduced the offense levels of federal inmates with statutory mandatory minimum penalties in 2D1.1, by two levels.
It has been over a long time since the U.S. Incomparable Court restricted petition in state funded schools in the now scandalous case Engle v. Vitale. (Joined States Courts, n.d., para. 4). By decision that school-supported nondenominational supplication in government funded schools disregarded the First Amendment of the Constitution, the training ended up noticeably impermissible in every single state funded school all through the nation. In the year following Engle v. Vitale, the Supreme Court heard a comparable case in Pennsylvania which challenged school-supported book of scriptures perusing and recitation of the Lord's
The board of education was in Champaign County, Illinois which had let teachers with religious beliefs come into the public schools to provide 30 to 45 minutes of weekly religion instructions for the kids in grades fourth though ninth that was in public schools. Parents had printed cards that they signed authorizing that their children were able to attend these classes, and absences were reported to the school authorities. The ones that did not attend the religious instructions were not excused from any of their regular classes. The teachers were employed by the Champaign Council on religious education at no cost to the schools. They had classes that were offered to the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish students. Programs were very popular
Over the centuries there have been many different environmental and geographical factors that have shaped the development of the United States. Two of these factors that I feel are extremely significant to this development are the Irish Potato Famine and the discovery of gold in California. The Irish Potato Famine began in Ireland in September 1845. The famine was caused by an airborne fungus, phytophthora infetans, which attacks the leaves of the plant, turning them black, causing them to curl and rot, ultimately killing the plant. The rotting plant makes the perfect environment for the fungus to multiply. The wind then carries the fungus spores to more healthy plants. (Irish Potato Famine,
addition, the policy indirectly supports the families of the elderly. It does so by offering services to caregivers that prevent or shorten costly nursing home placements, relieving financial strain, and providing educational programs to give a better understanding of aging. However, due to insufficient funding OAA services have restricted access and cannot reach all the elderly in need. Statistical demographics reveal that 27% of seniors that are receiving services are below the poverty line, recipients are more likely to be female (71% vs 57%), twice as likely to be rural, more likely to live alone, have less income, less educated, and less healthy than the average senior (Herrera 2013).
It is imperative that the class being taught is unbiased in order to keep it within the lines of constitutionality. Chuck Stetson, a deeply-rooted conservative, wrote The Bible and Its Influence, a textbook that claims to be secular. However, a close reading will find that it only has largely positive impacts of the text. There is a similar issue with teachers; they must present the information without bias of their personal opinion. With a neutral textbook and teacher, the ideal secular Bible literacy class would allow students with differing beliefs to have a safe space to debate the various interpretations of the
The courts did pass an injunction stopping the passing out of Bibles to elementary school students at any time on school property. They did this due to the fact that passing out the Bibles during the school day and on school property endorsed a particular religion. The district’s policy that was adopted was contradictory to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, considering it stated, “All requests “shall be approved” unless the material is libelous, obscene, or unlawful; advertises products or services for sale; endorses a candidate for public office; promotes alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or other illegal activity; or is likely to cause substantial disruption at the
I have read 1-6 documents for assignment 0. I fell I understand the requirements you expect from us and am excited for this semester. I recently got married and took my name change paper to the Frank Phillips at the Dalhart, TX center. My name is changing from Engelbrecht to Cooley. For now, I will continue to sign everything as my maiden name Engelbrecht so that there is no confusion. If there is any confusion with this please let me know.
I volunteered at Chiefland Elementary School, under Ms. Sidorenko’s supervision. After doing my twenty hours of volunteering at Chiefland Elementary School, I have gained new knowledge on how religion works in schools. If you grew up in a small town area like I did, you would know that religion around here is not a touchy subject with many people. Many faculty administrators who work in the school system happen to be Baptists or Christians. Therefore, people are able to throw in religious assessments here and there without getting into too much trouble. In this case, at this school, everyone goes to the same church or partners with each other’s churches. Before I go on, let me just say, even though I am a Christian, I think that religion shouldn’t be a topic talked during school hours. My reasoning for this is because children are there to get an education and to learn about the world around them. Teachers barely have enough time to teach the concepts that are mandatory, if we add religion it will just offend students and teachers won’t be able to get their job done. Now that society is changing and is starting to accept individuals more, I have noticed this school is having a hard time accepting that.
In the beginning, Dr. Mark A. Chancey borrowed a report from Texas Freedom Network Education Fund. This report from TFNEF is focusing on 25 Texas public schools offered Bible courses in the 2005–2006 school year, utilizing materials from the previous five academic years. By this evidence, the author notes that the public school Bible courses in Texas always have challenges on the following two aspect: First is the Academic and Legal Appropriateness which including failed or only meet the minimal academic standards for “teachers’ qualifications, curriculum, and academic rigor; and secondly, the Preservation of Religious Freedom which promoting one faith perspective over all others; and push an
With most of the western world rooted around Christianity and the values of the Bible, it is only fair it is taught in public schools. Being referenced about 1,300 times by perhaps one of the most famous writers
As I mentioned in my summer report, I am working in the Advance digital R&D Department. I continued my FALL term on the same team of Mcknly61 Memory Controller. Previously I have written a script for Register value calculation for DDR3 and LPDDR4 memory models. I have extended this python script to calculate the register values for DDR4, LPDDR2, and LPDDR3. During this script development, I learned specifications related to DDR3 and LPDDR4, with which I am able to use those concepts in any of design involving that kind of memories.
