THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2002 The Bush administration is opening public debate on a proposal to encourage same-sex public schools. A Federal Register notice published yesterday announces the plan, which is a reversal of decades of federal policy regarding discrimination in education. Comments will be accepted until July 8. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is engaging in consultation of its own on various education programs. A notice Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb published this week announces a series of meetings on topics to be expanded upon in a forthcoming booklet. Privatization, funding and implementing President Bush's "No Child Left Behind" law are expected to be on the agenda. Consultation on contracting some of the BIA's lowest-performing schools was to have started last month but was delayed. Bush is currently promoting the education reform law, the hallmark of which is testing tied to federal funding. Democrats are saying this is merely smoke and mirrors since his budget actually slashes school programs. Get the Story:
