Clinton passes legislation
to aid education expenses
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Clinton signed legislation
Thursday giving states greater
freedom in spending federal edu
cation dollars — a modest
achievement by Republicans and
Democrats that was accorded a
Rose Garden ceremony to show
case possibilities for bipartisan
ship.
“You know, there have been
days in the last few years when
I’m not sure we could have got
ten this many members of Con
gress to agree that today is Thurs
day,” Clinton joked as he
surveyed the dozen or more law
makers witnessing his enactment
of the “Ed-Flex” bill.
“1 hope now we’re getting off
to a good start, and we’ll keep on
doing this,” Clinton said.
In a similar spirit. Rep.
Michael Castle, R-Del., said, “I
hope this is simply the first ac
complishment. ... We must con
tinue along this path” of working
together to improve schools.
Remarks from both sides of
the aisle, however, suggested that
was no sure thing.
The Education Flexibility Part
nership Act allows all states to re
ceive waivers of certain federal
education requirements in order
to improve school and student
performance.
But Clinton, before painstak
ingly marking his signature on
the bill with more than a dozen
pens that would become the law
makers’ souvenirs, threatened to
undo the legislation if it didn’t
work the way Republican spon
sors promised.
If states and school districts
did not use their new flexibility
to produce measurable results,
Clinton said, “and the money’s
being misspent under this law
then we’ll revert to another sys
tem.”
‘7 hope now
we're getting off
to a good start,
and we'll keep
doing this."
— PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
He pressed the GOP majority
in Congress to take up his own
education agenda: massive new
federal funds for hiring teachers,
modernizing and building
schools, and testing students
against national standards.
Republicans, in turn, criti
cized the Democrats’ agenda as a
”one-size-fits-all” approach to
fixing the nation’s schools.
”1 urge President Clinton and
his colleagues in Congress to
help us to eliminate the federal
middleman in Washington and
empower our teachers and par
ents to improve public education
at the local level,” Oklahoma
Rep. J.C. Watts Jr., chairman of
the House Republican Confer
ence, said in a statement.
Ed-Flex, which was the first
substantive bill to emerge from
the post-impeachment Congress,
was approved overwhelmingly in
the House and Senate last week.
Its passage was cheered by Re
publicans who advocate allowing
more local authority over nearly
$11 billion in education spending
this fiscal year.
The legislation expands to all
50 states and the District of Co
lumbia a program established in
1994 that freed 12 states and
school districts from some rules
for obtaining federal funds and
let them establish their own pro
grams under which they would
be accountable for academic re
sults.
It authorizes the Education
Secretary to deny Ed-Flex status
to states that fail to develop strict
standards and assessments for
measuring the progress of stu
dents and school districts.
Clinton called for an expan
sion of the Ed-Flex pilot program
last year in a speech to the Na
tional Governors’ Association.
To stave off a threatened pres
idential veto. Republicans had to
give up a provision allowing a
portion of the $1.2 billion in this
year’s budget for Clinton’s new
teacher program to be used for
special education needs. Instead,
the bill says school districts with
class sizes of 18 or fewer stu
dents may join with other dis
tricts to use the money for
teacher training.

The sc
DALLAS (AP) — Four years after Ron Kirk
fought his way through a 10-candidate field to be
come Dallas’ first black mayor, he faces two light
ly regarded challengers Saturday in his bid for a
second term.
Kirk is running against immigration lawyer
and political novice Margaret A. Donnelly and
perennial candidate Billy Jack Ludwig.
During his first term, Kirk pushed through ref-
erendums to build a sports arena and develop an
area along the Trinity River near downtown. Each
passed by fewer than 2,000 votes.
Kirk, a lawyer and former Texas secretary of
state, said he is optimistic that voters “aren’t
looking for a lot of change.”
“There is overwhelmingly positive feeling
about the direction the city is going,” he said.
“We’ve had two controversial referendums. Peo
ple like that I tell them what I’m going to try to
do and then go out and do that.”
Kirk said he will focus his second term on fix
ing streets, keeping the city safe and promoting
economic development in south Dallas, the poor
est part of town. Critics argue he has focused on
grand projects that exist only in architectural
drawings while ignoring crumbling roads and
poor schools.
“Too many of our resources are being direct
ed to economic development and not enough to
education,” Ms. Donnelly said. “Recreation cen
ters in Dallas are closing between noon and 2
p.m. on Saturdays, just when they're most des
perately needed.”-
Ludwig, who said he operates a direct-mar
keting company, accuses Kirk of being a tool of
wealthy interests, including Tom Hicks and Ross
Perot Jr., whose pro hockey and basketball teams
will play in the new arena.
“I’m running to get rid of The downtown
group, the billionaires that control the mayor,”
Ludwig said, complaining that Hicks and Perot
should be paying the city’s $125 million share of
the arena project.
Kirk expects to spend $500,000 on the cam
paign — much more than his opponents but only
half of what he spent in 1995.
Also Saturday, voters in the Dallas neighbor
hood of Oak Cliff will decide whether to re-elect
longtime Councilman A1 Lipscomb, who has
been indicted on federal bribery-related charges
involving payments from a taxi-company owner.
The 73-year-old Lipscomb goes on trial May 17.
Mayoral elections will also be held Saturday
in San Antonio, El Paso and Brownsville.
