Are we having a McNair DSNI meeting on Tuesday, May 16, 2017? As of this day, no one has explained any information to the committee about the summer camp vouchers. I know you mentioned to Mrs. Peek and I at the Kelley Lake School beautification that you were going to get with us about your plan of distribution for the summer camp vouchers, but it was not address at the last meeting or previous meeting. All the committee members that I spoke with are unaware about any information about the summer voucher program. However, we did discuss at the last meeting to invite more community people because we are planning to vote on some community projects and thoroughly review our entire budget of Habitat for Humanity funds that Daniella will provide
So many Veterans, even with the HUD VASH voucher system, are living in sub par conditions while landlords are pocketing overage monies for personal gain. Our mission is to offer not only housing, but a more complete and all-inclusive approach to treating our veterans, for future success. We aim to be an extension from existing VA programs and become a direct link to job training – while bridging Veterans back into society. Veterans are faced daunting challenges while transitioning into civilian society – which include—lack of camaraderie, lack of transferable job skills through the lack of support network lack of identity outside the military, and unemployment. Our mission is to alleviate these problems while benefiting the VA, overall society,
A quick review of your paid SJ voucher reveals a deduction in the M&IE section for breakfast -provided by registration paid by NIH on 03/29/17 and lunch provided on 03/30/17. It is my understanding a POTS was NOT done/paid for you to attend WTP Awardee Meeting and Rutgers/WTP Workshop Venue at $290.00. I looked by my POTS requests and it shows an order for George Tucker, but not you. Please tell me if my understanding is an error.

Going to college, for me, is more than just getting my degree and having the college experience because, no one in my family has went to college. My mom not attending college, and being a single mother of four children, has created many barriers for me and my family. However, I have still been able to overcome many of the adversities that we have faced. We always managed to get by because of the Housing Choice Voucher Program and the SNAP program but we still had other financial issues. Even though we had The Housing Choice Voucher Program we still had to move often because rent would become higher than the amount of money given to us from The Housing Choice Voucher Program. Because I had to move a lot, I have went to four elementary schools,

The New York Times published an article on June 28, 2002 by an unknown publisher about, “The Wrong Ruling on Vouchers,” where the Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling upheld school vouchers in Cleveland. The author argues that the Supreme Court’s decision is damaging to education in America and violates the Constitution's First Amendment.
The article “The Wrong Ruling on Vouchers” argues that continuing Cleveland’s controversial voucher program is a “bad decision on Constitutional grounds, and a bad one for American education” (Unknown 2002 NP).

Education is the most powerful tool one can arm themselves with. Education provides people with the power to innovate, invent, and change the world. Recognized on a global basis as the ultimate key to unlocking one’s potential, education is one of, if not the most important aspect of a human being’s life. Despite this recognition of education as a necessary aspect of positive advancement, there has lately been a high amount of controversy surrounding the education system in the United States. A large amount of this controversy surrounds the views of the new secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, who strongly believes in the concept of school-choice vouchers, which are essentially subsidies given directly to parents to

When people think of Texas many might think of a rich and flourishing economy. With that thriving economy in mind, people may associate a great over all public school system in place. Unfortunately for Texans this not the case. In a 2016 report Texas ranks 43rd among the other states national k-12 education rankings (Fechter 2016). The determination of the ranking included 3 variables, chance for success, school finance, and K-12 achievement (Fechter 2016). The news is worse for the Corpus Christi Independent School District. According to Murphy & Daniel (2015), CCISD fell below nearly every statewide standard when it comes to academics. It is understandable that parents might feel that their child may
If you select me for your Summer Seniors program, I will take every advantage it has to offer. At the USC Summer Seniors program, I will retain what I learn and use the information that I am taught to further my career. I want to experience life as a residential college student and know how to be a successful college student. The Summer Seniors program will teach me that. However, not only do I want to experience life as a college student, I want to experience it as a USC student. USC is one of the biggest college campuses I have ever seen. I live in a small town and go to a small high school. I also attend Tri-County Tech, a small college. Going to the Summer Seniors program will teach and prepare me how to navigate a campus with a larger
School vouchers can be described as financial funding given to students who elect not to attend public schools. Therefore the government would not be spending money educating that student in a public school. A school voucher is the allotment of money that the government would have used for that student to attend public school. This money is then given to the family of the student to help fund the education of that student. This money cannot be used for anything other than education. There are many sides to take and many opinions to be had. It is very clear that the prospect of school vouchers is an issue to be debated. Some people feel that if they are not using the government’s form of education then they should
Many advocates and policymakers of housing for the poor believe that to achieve optimal human development of low-income households the location of the housing must be considered as well as the quality of the housing unit (Newman, 2008).
While I was looking for a social action event to attend that involved, adolescence, children, families, and other individuals/professionals, I had a difficult time. Therefore, I reached out to my local town hall and found an opportunity that included each of these individuals to a certain degree. In other words, a few days before the actual event on July 20, 2017, I had been reviewing my town’s website. Granted, I recently had moved to this town over the last six months and never knew there were so many committees and commissions that existed before. To be honest, some of them I had reached out to see how I can become a volunteer or a member of the board. Nonetheless, I was looking and one event that had appealed to me was the event that is titled, “Middletown’s Youth Juvenile Board (MYJB). While I had some thoughts about what this meeting was going to be, I was intrigued so I wanted to learn more about it. Therefore, the next morning I had called to see if it was open to the public and so forth. To my amazement, the receptionist was very happy to share that it was open to the public, the meetings are two hours long, and they are held on the third Thursday of each month, and what the board does for these children and adolescents.
