| OH | Signed into law 12/2006 | P-12 | Sec. 3301.0716 allows the state department of education to have access to personally identifiable student information under certain circumstances, including to respond to an appeal from a school district or school for verification of the accuracy of the student's score on a test; to determine whether the student satisfies the alternative conditions for a high school diploma; or if a testing contractor has notified the department that the student's written response to a question on such a test included threats or descriptions of harm to another person or the student's self and the information is necessary to enable the department to identify the student for purposes of notifying the school district or school in which the student is enrolled of the potential for harm. Allows the independent contractor engaged by the department of education to create and maintain for school districts and community schools the student data verification codes required by division (D)(2) of section 3301.0714 of the Revised Code to upon request of the director of health, assign a data verification code to a child who is receiving services under division (A)(2) of section 3701.61 of the Revised Code. The contractor is to provide that code to the director, who will submit it to the public school in which the child will be enrolled for special education and related services.

| KS | Adopted 05/2006 | P-12 | Memorializes the President and Congress to make a serious commitment to improving the quality of the nation's public schools by substantially increasing its funding for the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the Higher Education Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and other educational related programs.
Requests that the President, U.S. Congress and U.S. Department of Education offer the various states waivers, exemptions or whatever flexibility is possible regarding the requirements of the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, in any year that federal funding for public K-12 education is decreased to prevent states from spending state and local resources on activities that have not proven effective in raising student achievement and may not be the priority of an individual state.
Encourages other states to pass similar resolutions. Directs the secretary of state to send an enrolled copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education and each member of the Kansas legislative delegation.
