Whereas, Care and attention must be given to ensure that young children grow and mature into loving, considerate, productive, and healthy adults capable of caring for themselves; and
Whereas, The entire state of Michigan and our great nation have high stakes in how well each young child develops in the early years; and
Whereas, Some children experience child abuse, neglect, inadequate health care, poor nutrition, inept parenting, and inappropriate child care, all of which limit their opportunities for a successful, happy life; and
Whereas, We have the ability and duty to see that each child acquires appropriate social, emotional, cognitive, and motor skills and enjoys necessary supports in areas of health services, nutrition, education and care; and
Whereas, Celebrating the importance of meeting the needs of young children is a worthwhile endeavor for every Michigan citizen; and
Whereas, Each April, Michigan's people reflect on ways to enhance the well being of young children with each week set aside for a particular focus. The focus weeks in April 2006 are: Recognizing Early Childhood Professionals, Celebrating Community Partnerships, Promoting Healthy Children and Families, and Advocating on Behalf of Children and Families; now, therefore, be it,
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body proclaim April 2006 as Month of the Young Child in Michigan. We encourage all citizens to join activities associated with this month and support continuously the needs of young children.

Whereas, In 1984, Governor James Blanchard created the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF); and
Whereas, In 1985, Gov. James Blanchard also created the "Research Excellence Fund (REF) as an arm of the MSF; and
Whereas, In 1995, Governor John Engler created the Michigan Jobs Commission (MJC) and the Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) under the MJC; and
Whereas, In 1999, Governor John Engler also created the Michigan Department of Career Development (MDCD) and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) from the previously created MJC, and placed MEGA under MEDC; and
Whereas, In 2003, Governor Jennifer Granholm created the Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG) by combining the MEDC and MCDC, yet retained the MEDC with its quasi-public status as a separate entity; and
Whereas, In 2005, Governor Jennifer Granholm created the 21st Century Jobs Initiative; and
Whereas, In the 59 year history of such state organizations aimed at diversifying and improving our state's economic climate, we have achieved the enviable economic status we currently enjoy; now, therefore, be it

Reps. Lemmons, III, Lemmons, Jr., Cushingberry, McConico, Murphy and Nofs offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 229.
A resolution to memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States and the Justice Department to free the "Cuban Five."
Whereas, Five Cubans are in American prison cells for activities these individuals undertook to monitor Cuban-American individuals and groups seeking to disrupt life in Cuba. These five prisoners were falsely accused and convicted of espionage, and they were sentenced to four life sentences and 75 years; and
Whereas, The five individuals known as the Cuban Five, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labanino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, and Rene Gonzalez, were working to combat illegal activities of Miami-based anti-Cuba organizations and individuals. The Cuban Five were arrested in 1998 and placed in solitary confinement prior to their conviction in June 2001 and their sentencing in December 2001. In August 2005, an appellate court overturned their conviction and ordered a new trial outside of Miami. This action was reversed in October, and the Cuban Five remain imprisoned; and
Whereas, The Cuban people have suffered in many ways over the past four and one-half decades from illegal actions taken against their country. The Cuban Five are in prison as victims of the continued political maneuvering against their country. Many people are upset that these political victims have been targeted instead of those who have taken actions against the Cuban people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States and the Justice Department to free the "Cuban Five"; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the President of the Untied States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the United States Department of Justice.

(2) If the board of a school district or intermediate school district or the governing body of a public school academy or nonpublic school determines it necessary to hire an individual for a particular school year during that school year or within 30 days before the beginning of that school year, the board or governing body may employ the individual as a conditional employee under this subsection without first receiving the report described in subsection (8) if all of the following apply:
(a) The board or governing body requests the criminal history check required under subsection (1) before conditionally employing the individual.
(b) The individual signs a statement identifying all crimes for which he or she has been convicted, if any, and agreeing that, if the report described in subsection (8) is not the same as the individual's statement, his or her employment contract is voidable at the option of the board or governing body. The department shall develop and distribute to districts and nonpublic schools a model form for the statement required under this subdivision. The department shall make the model form available to public school academies. A district, public school academy, or nonpublic school shall use the model form for the purposes of this subsection.

(9) If the report received by a school district, intermediate school district, public school academy, or nonpublic school under subsection (8) discloses that an individual has been convicted of a listed offense, then the school district, intermediate school district, public school academy, or nonpublic school shall not employ the individual in any capacity, as provided under section 1230c, and shall not allow the individual to regularly and continuously work under contract in any of its schools.

(8) Not later than 7 days after receiving notification from the prosecuting attorney or the court under subsection (7) or learning through an authoritative source that a person who holds a teaching certificate has been convicted of a crime listed in subsection (1), the superintendent of public instruction shall request the court to provide a certified copy of the judgment of conviction and sentence or other document regarding the disposition of the case to the superintendent of public instruction and shall pay any fees required by the court.

(10) For the purposes of this section, a certified copy of the judgment of conviction and sentence is conclusive evidence of conviction of a crime described in this section. For the purposes of this section, conviction of a crime described in this section is considered to be reasonably and adversely related to the ability of the person to serve in an elementary or secondary school and is sufficient grounds for suspension or revocation of the person's teaching certificate.
(11) For any hearing under subsection (1), if the superintendent of public instruction does not complete the hearing procedures and make a final decision and order within 120 working days after receiving the request for the hearing, as required under subsection (1), the superintendent of public instruction shall submit a report detailing the reasons for the delay to the standing committees and appropriations subcommittees of the senate and house of representatives that have jurisdiction over education and education appropriations. The failure of the superintendent of public instruction to complete the hearing procedures and make a final decision and order within this 120 working day time limit, or the failure of any other official or agency to meet a time limit prescribed in this section, does not affect the validity of an action taken under this section affecting a person's teaching certificate.
(12) Beginning July 1, 2004, the superintendent of public instruction shall submit to the legislature a quarterly report of all final actions he or she has taken under this section affecting a person's teaching certificate during the preceding quarter.

(3) The department shall develop and distribute to all public schools proposed accreditation standards. Upon distribution of the proposed standards, the department shall hold statewide public hearings for the purpose of receiving testimony concerning the standards. After a review of the testimony, the department shall revise and submit the proposed standards to the superintendent of public instruction. After a review and revision, if appropriate, of the proposed standards, the superintendent of public instruction shall submit the proposed standards to the senate and house committees that have the responsibility for education legislation. Upon approval by these committees, the department shall distribute to all public schools the standards to be applied to each school for accreditation purposes. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION SHALL REVIEW AND UPDATE THE ACCREDITATION STANDARDS ANNUALLY USING THE PROCESS PRESCRIBED UNDER THIS SUBSECTION.
(4) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop and distribute to all public schools standards for determining that a school is eligible for summary accreditation under subsection (6). The standards shall be developed, reviewed, approved, and distributed using the same process as prescribed in subsection (3) for accreditation standards, and shall be finally distributed and implemented not later than December 31, 1994.
(5) The standards for accreditation or summary accreditation under this section shall include AS CRITERIA pupil performance on Michigan education assessment program (MEAP) tests and ON THE MICHIGAN MERIT EXAMINATION UNDER SECTION 1279G AND, UNTIL THE MICHIGAN MERIT EXAMINATION HAS BEEN FULLY IMPLEMENTED, the percentage of pupils achieving state endorsement under section 1279, as criteria, but shall not be based solely on pupil performance on MEAP tests OR THE MICHIGAN MERIT EXAMINATION or on the percentage of pupils achieving state endorsement under section 1279.

(6) If the superintendent of public instruction determines that a public school has met the standards established under subsection (4) or (5) for summary accreditation, the school is considered to be accredited without the necessity for a full building-level evaluation under subsection (2).
(7) If the superintendent of public instruction determines that a school has not met the standards established under subsection (4) or (5) for summary accreditation but that the school is making progress toward meeting those standards, or if, based on a full building-level evaluation under subsection (2), the superintendent of public instruction determines that a school has not met the standards for accreditation but is making progress toward meeting those standards, the school is in interim status and is subject to a full building-level evaluation as provided in this section.
(8) If a school has not met the standards established under subsection (4) or (5) for summary accreditation and is not eligible for interim status under subsection (7), the school is unaccredited and subject to the measures provided in this section.
(9) Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, if at least 5% of a public school's answer sheets from the administration of the Michigan educational assessment program (MEAP) tests are lost by the department or by a state contractor and if the public school can verify that the answer sheets were collected from pupils and forwarded to the department or the contractor, the department shall not assign an accreditation score or school report card grade to the public school for that subject area for the corresponding year for the purposes of determining state accreditation under this section. The department shall not assign an accreditation score or school report card grade to the public school for that subject area until the results of all tests for the next year are available.
(10) Subsection (9) does not preclude the department from determining whether a public school or a school district has achieved adequate yearly progress for the school year in which the answer sheets were lost for the purposes of the no child left behind act of 2001, Public Law 107-110. , 115 Stat. 1425. However, the department shall ensure that a public school or the school district is not penalized when determining adequate yearly progress status due to the fact that the public school's MEAP answer sheets were lost by the department or by a state contractor, but shall not require a public school or school district to retest pupils or produce scores from another test for this purpose.
(11) The superintendent of public instruction shall annually review and evaluate for accreditation purposes the performance of each school that is unaccredited and as many of the schools that are in interim status as permitted by the department's resources.
(12) The superintendent of public instruction shall, and the intermediate school district to which a school district is constituent, a consortium of intermediate school districts, or any combination thereof may, provide technical assistance, as appropriate, to a school that is unaccredited or that is in interim status upon request of the board of the school district in which the school is located. If requests to the superintendent of public instruction for technical assistance exceed the capacity, priority shall be given to unaccredited schools.

(d) The school shall be closed.
(14) The superintendent of public instruction shall evaluate the school accreditation program and the status of schools under this section and shall submit an annual report based upon the evaluation to the senate and house committees that have the responsibility for education legislation. The report shall address the reasons each unaccredited school is not accredited and shall recommend legislative action that will result in the accreditation of all public schools in this state.

Rep. Miller, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While I support this bill and voted for its passage, I am registering this small protest to draw attention to the shamelessly immature behavior being by representatives this evening. While people in Michigan are without jobs, Michigan's economy is slumping, and people are looking to the Legislature to provide solutions and direction, the leadership of this chamber is allowing petty partisanship to waste time and money. Instead of working together to find solutions to these challenges, the leadership of this chamber is engaged in petty oneupmanship. The people of Michigan expect more from their elected representatives than this. To my constituents and people across the State of Michigan, I apologize. You deserve better."
