• W328905286 abstract "Visit any school playground in the U.S., and you'll likely witness teachers delivering the same advice: Be nice and play fair. For public school districts, it pays to practice what you teach. Too often, school districts forget that equity--the adult version of niceness and fair play--is the best way to succeed academically and administratively. Making equity a priority has another big plus: It helps avoid courtroom squabbles. U.S. Constitution, state laws, and school district policies all demand basic fairness. When matters go awry, however, a court challenge could follow. Consider these court cases and federal administrative complaints that used the mantle of equity to challenge district actions as diverse as adding student activity fees and creating more rigorous paths for top students. Students and equity In this tough budget climate, schools and districts are tempted to charge parents user fees for costly basics and extras. Examples include textbooks, field trips, musical instruments, and extracurricular activities, especially athletics. It's a risky strategy since many state constitutions guarantee a free public education. Once decided in California, the fees issue had a new twist last year. Supreme Court of California concluded in a 1984 case, Hartzell v. Connell, that fees violate the state constitution. Educational opportunities must be provided to all students without regard to their families' ability or willingness to pay fees or request special waivers, the court said. This fundamental feature of public education is not contingent upon the inevitably fluctuating financial health of local school districts. In 2010, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a class action lawsuit alleging that at least 40 school districts listed fees on their web sites in spite of the earlier court ruling. suit was settled with an agreement to fully reimburse families. state also agreed to create a monitoring and enforcement system against fees. In October, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law prohibiting schools from charging fees for anything that is educational in character. In Idaho, a former superintendent filed suit in 2012 to force school districts to return more than $2.4 million in fees. In Joki v. State of Idaho, Russ Joki said he was forced to pay $95 to enroll his two granddaughters in kindergarten and another $85 to enroll his grandson in high school. Like California, the Idaho Supreme Court struck down the use of fees. In Paulson v. Minidoka County School District, the state's highest court said in 1970 that a $25 activity fee was not permitted. The [district] may not charge students for such items because the common schools are to be 'free' as our constitution requires, the court ruled. More recently, in Birmingham, Mich., a couple filed a class action lawsuit over $40 in fees the public school charged for a lock, planner, and gym uniform. John and Laurie Kelly's son is a 6th-grade middle schooler. That case is just beginning to wend its way through the courts. Academic opportunity knocks In this hypercompetitive era, parents seek an edge for their children. Thus, admission to specialized, elite, high school academies is like striking resume gold. It's no surprise, then, that the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is investigating equity complaints filed in 2012 about special-admission high schools in New York City and Fairfax, Va. Critics claim the qualifying exams, coupled with other admissions practices, suppress racial and ethnic populations in flagship programs. In New York, a coalition of civil rights groups filed a 31-page OCR complaint in September 2012. group said black and Hispanic students are largely excluded from the city's eight premiere high schools (among them well-known Bronx High School of Science and Stuyvesant High School) due to a state law requiring an exam as the sole criteria for admission. …" @default.
