Policy Recommendations. The BEU and the BSC desire to encourage the active participation of the administrators in the development and implementation of the best possible programs for the children of Brookline, including State and Federal Aid Programs. The Faculty Representative Council as the standing committee of the BEU may make recommendations to the Superintendent in regard to such programs. The Superintendent or his/her designee shall acknowledge and review such recommendations and meet with the Faculty Representative Council to discuss them.
Policy Recommendations. Due to its nature and function, FARB may find it desirable to communicate with the Board through the College President, in writing, regarding areas in which policy is unclear, or not in conformity with practice. The Board through the College President will, in such instances, reply to FARB in writing. The Association is to be advised in writing of such communications and Board response.
Policy Recommendations. This section presents the action agenda that resulted from the summit. Through their efforts in the six working groups, summit participants made five recommendations. The first four are national-level, long-term efforts. The fifth recommendation relates to local and regional efforts that can begin immediately. Existing cooperative efforts have been limited by the lack of a coordinating entity. Over time, the first four recommendations (regarding national coordination) will support the fifth recommendation (local and re- gional efforts).
1. Leaders of the major law enforcement and private security organizations should make a formal commitment to cooperation.
2. The Department of Homeland Security and/or Department of Justice should fund research and training on relevant legislation, private security, and law enforcement–private security cooperation. The appropriate body should con- duct both baseline and ongoing research and should encourage training.
Policy Recommendations. A statement from any para council member containing recommendations for policy changes can be submitted to the Superintendent. The Superintendent will present any recommended policy changes to the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Receipt of the Board agendas shall constitute notice to the Council of proposed changes in Board policies.
Policy Recommendations. The aim of this section is to provide general patterns, recommendations and conclussions to boost entrepreneurship programmes, projects and policies targetting the over 50 cohort and assess how they will influence local, regional and national policies. These policy recommendations reflect the contribution of partners participating in the MYBUSINESS project and have been defined after a process of research and analysis of previous experiences and good practices in senior entrepreneurship in Europe, included in the first output of the project (the Transational Report), common discussions and interviews with experts and stakeholders and, further informed by the direct experience and feedback gathered during the implementation of the SEAP pilots. All the Policy Recommendations have been definded following the five criteria established by the MYBUSINESS project partners, depending on their level of relevance, effectiveness, replicability, innovativeness and sustainability.
Policy Recommendations. States also offered a number of policy recommendations for better serving students who are D/HH: ▪ provide more distance education training opportunities for both teachers of D/HH and educational interpreters; ▪ move toward standardization of assessments to determine educational interpreters’ competency across states – i.e., use of EIPA; ▪ earmark additional funds for IHE programs that prepare personnel for working with children who are D/HH; ▪ encourage schools for the deaf to assume greater leadership throughout the state as a whole – including outreach to LEAs; ▪ support research to identify evidence-based best practices for teaching students who are D/HH; ▪ implement web-based IEPs to enable improved monitoring of student outcomes according to disability category and location; ▪ provide clarity regarding financial responsibility of states for cochlear implants.
Policy Recommendations. Based on the previous subtasks the Consultant will develop policy statements to guide justifications and necessary conditions to inform service priorities and making trade-offs in favor of transit.
Policy Recommendations. 1. Demobilization and reintegration of ex-combatants is a crucial element in the successful transition from war to peace and ensuring national and regional security. It may also represent an opportunity for fiscal savings, allowing governments to shift scarce resources to urgently needed poverty reduction. Considering the high prevalence of HIV positive military personnel in many Sub-Saharan African countries and the challenges this poses, HIV/AIDS prevention programs should be integrated into demobilization activities. Donors and organizations currently involved in demobilization activities must therefore make HIV/AIDS prevention and control an integral part of their policy planning and programs.
2. For an effective HIV/AIDS strategy for the military, it is essential that interventions are already planned and implemented during peace-time and included in the training program of all military personnel. The activities should continue through the demobilization and reintegration process. Interventions should include awareness campaigns, information, education, counseling and care for HIV infected personnel. As part of this strategy voluntary HIV testing and counseling should be encouraged. Measures to ensure that testing is consistent with international standards of confidentiality must be reinforced. The distribution of condoms must be facilitated and more proactively and routinely pursued.
3. Interventions should target all military personnel, their families as well as the communities to which they return. Interventions targeting non-regular forces pose particular difficulties, they are more difficult to reach and may have little incentive to participate. Further studies need to be carried out to cater programs to their particular situation and needs.
4. The demobilization of HIV positive military personnel or of those with AIDS related symptoms presents a number of challenges particularly with regard to their continued care and treatment. Currently, prevention efforts receive more attention within the military establishments than meeting the needs of those already affected. More emphasis and resources will have to be dedicated to meeting the needs of those infected and their families, to improve access to treatment and care. Long-term financial provisions should be included in demobilization/downsizing budgets. Partners and families of infected combatants/ex-combatants and communities of return should receive information and advice on how to avoid infecti...
Policy Recommendations. The thematic findings from this body of literature, which spanned the eras before, during, and after policy change, should inform current policy developments in other sub-‐Saharan African countries and also lend insight to countries that have seen recent liberalization in abortion policy. The following six recommendations are derived directly from the published literature and seek to respond to unsafe abortion using a public health frame: if unsafe abortion is a cause of morbidity and mortality, the policy that seeks to reduce unsafe abortion should target the distal factors that lead women to unsafe abortions.
i. Recognize the published literature on the public health impact of unsafe abortion The ten countries and 117 publications examined in this document demonstrate a substantial portion of the public health research and discourse on unsafe abortion, but by no means cover the entire scope of the literature on abortion, unsafe abortion, and post-‐abortion care in sub-‐ Saharan Africa. The majority of sub-‐Saharan African countries have assessed in some form of formal study the prevalence or scope of post-‐abortion care in their respective settings, and in doing so found that unsafe abortion exists within their borders, constituting a public health problem that is largely left unaddressed by national policies. Obtaining copies of these studies, however, requires requesting research articles from institutions and libraries around the world, many of which are not located in the countries in which the studies took place. In amassing the data and studies in a respective country, the policy maker or policy influencer gains evidence upon which to base their assertions.
ii. Acknowledge the root causes of post-‐abortion care The discussion of post-‐abortion care both in the literature and within national policy falls into a somewhat safe domain because it has the ability to obscure the origin of the abortion and allows for ambiguity around whether it was induced or spontaneous. However, as seen through the examination of the literature in question, a significant portion of post-‐abortion care is indisputably treatment for induction of an abortion that was intentionally conducted without coercion and at significant risk to the woman’s life, health, social status, and general wellbeing. Post-‐abortion care is treatment for a preventable state of physical harm that was induced in a manner that caused medical complications. As such, post-‐abortion care sho...
Policy Recommendations. The Xxxxxx team will present housing policy recommendations that will identify how to address the City’s housing issues and concerns, as well as how to direct/use the City’s resources to benefit City housing over the long term. The Xxxxxx team will advise the City how its resources can be used to create a range of housing opportunities and support sustainable and balanced housing and economic growth. Based upon project research, “best practices” research, and experience, the Xxxxxx team will identify those affordable housing programs, policies, and measures that will work best for the City in achieving its objectives. The team will note other programs that have been used successfully, but will focus upon those that fit the situation and needs of Arlington. Policy approaches to be investigated and vetted for City application include, but are not limited to, analysis of supply and demand side housing policies, and development and financing tools available through existing laws and programs.
