What is an 'adequate' education for our children?
The US Supreme Court Claremont Decisions require that the State
of New Hampshire ensure that all students be afforded an "adequate
education" which is more than just providing the basics. As
described in Claremont II the Court "look[ed] to the following
seven criteria articulated by the Supreme Court of Kentucky"
"as benchmarks of a constitutionally adequate public education.
They are:
*
sufficient oral and written communication skills to enable students
to function in a complex and rapidly changing civilization;
*
sufficient knowledge of economic, social, and political systems
to enable the student to make informed choices;
*
sufficient understanding of governmental processes to enable the
student to understand the issues that affect his or her community,
state, and nation;
*
sufficient self-knowledge and knowledge of his or her mental and
physical wellness;
*
sufficient grounding in the arts to enable each student to appreciate
his or her cultural and historical heritage;
*
sufficient training or preparation for advanced training in either
academic or vocational fields so as to enable each child to choose
and pursue life work intelligently; and
*
sufficient levels of academic or vocational skills to enable public
school students to compete favorably with their counterparts in
surrounding states, in academics or in the job market.
Community Education Defined/Philosophy
Community education is a system that utilizes identified resources
to provide for the efficient delivery of human and and educational
services with equal access to information. This process is fueled
by ongoing and regular input from a broad range of community members.
When fully implemented community education will
* Provide a link between classroom teachers and community resources
that can be used to enhance the learning environment and promote
better public understanding
* Provide an extensive range of educational programs for community
members of all ages
* Increase citizen participation on school advisory committees
* Increase the quality of and breadth of communication to residents
provide a ready source of information to all citizens about programs
and learning opportunities offered by local agencies
* Promote cooperation between the schools and specific groups of
residents, such as senior citizens, to gain their involvement and
support in educational programs
* Substantially increase the use of school buildings by area residents,
and
* Provide an ongoing relationship with community and area agencies
to coordinate services and improve the delivery of education programs
