	Independent/public/boarding schools in the uk (britain, england).
		Schools are often single-sex boys schools or girls schools, although many boys schools accept girls in the sixth form (between the ages of 16 and 18).
		A public school is an independent secondary school which is a charity (not profit-making) and which belongs to one of the public school associations, the largest of which are the Headmasters' Conference (HMC) and the Girls' School Association (GSA).
		The expression "public school" can be confusing: in many countries other than England a "public school" is a school which is run by the government, which is not the case with these schools.

	Independent school (United Kingdom) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A public school (in the independent sense) usually teaches children from the ages of 11 (for girls) or 13 (for boys) to 18, and was traditionally a single-sex boarding school, although many now accept day pupils and are coeducational.
		John's School, Leatherhead, Epsom College and the City of London School, another day school (which derived from a mediæval foundation of 1442) was reconstituted by a private Act of Parliament in 1835 and was held to be a public school by the Divisional Court in the case of Blake vs. City of London in 1886.
		University College School, founded in 1830 as part of University College London, was unique in that it neither took boarders nor gave religious education; indeed, by not limiting its intake to a specific religious denomination, it gained the claim of being the first truly "public" school, open to all.

		A public school, in common British usage, is a school which is usually prestigious and historic, which charges fees, does not arbitrarily restrict admissions, and is financed by bodies other than the state, commonly as a private charitable trust.
		The term 'public' (first adopted by Eton) refers to the fact that the school is open to the paying public, as opposed to, a religious school open only to members of a certain church, and in contrast to private education at home (usually only practical for the very wealthy who could afford tutors).
		The head teachers of major British independent schools usually belong to the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC), as distinct from the Secondary Heads' Association, and it is generally considered that any school that is a member of HMC is entitled to call itself a Public School.

	How Public-Private Partnerships Can Facilitate Public School Construction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Such efforts to federalize public school financing are likely to continue in the 106th Congress as Members of both parties attempt to demonstrate their commitment to public education, which opinion polls suggest is an issue at the top of the list of voter concerns.
		Although public financing of public schools has been the norm in the United States, all except one of the new legislative initiatives introduced at both the state and federal level last year would perpetuate and expand that practice by tapping into new governmental sources of money, notably at the federal level.
		The traditional approach to public school construction already entails significant federal subsidies by virtue of the tax-exempt status of the general obligation bonds that communities issue to fund their schools.

		The authors grapple with the effects and challenges of charter school autonomy across a range of areas, from student achievement to special education, staffing patterns to classroom practices, and innovation to equity.
		In closing, we argue that in order to continue to attract and retain teachers, charter schools may need to extend their use of autonomy to address the bread-and-butter issues, improve the working conditions of teachers and ultimately, to extend the life of the school.
		Following the argument that charter schools need to be autonomous, self-governing organizations in order to enhance their potential for high performance, this article explores legislative conditions that promote charter school autonomy.

	New Tax Law Boosts School Construction with Public-Private Partnerships (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Whereas the developer-investor would be responsible for the physical structure of the public school, the school system would still operate the school with its own teachers and administrators, curricula, educational guidelines and standards, and other such requirements pertaining to the educational process.
		Public school systems will experience additional savings through the partnership approach because they will be leasing a building for only a portion of the time that the facility is available for use.
		Under the conventional school construction process, the public school system attempts to be both educator and real estate developer, and sometimes performs both functions inadequately as limited resources and specialized talents are spread thinly among disparate endeavors.

	Dealing with School Violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		North Country Union High School, et al., the Orleans County Superior Court recently dismissed claims against a high school and supervisory union brought by a student who was severely injured when another student allegedly struck her and threw her down a flight of stairs.
		In Cheney, the injured student claimed that she was the victim of an unprovoked attack, and that the high school and supervisory union were negligent in failing to supervise students in the hallways between classes.
		The school district argued that, while schools have the duty to exercise ordinary care to prevent students from being exposed to unreasonable risk, they do not owe their students a duty of immediate supervision at all times and under all circumstances.

		Each school has an application process that aims to ensure that the students it admits are well matched to the programs and mission of the school.
