This article presents a survey of the significant developments in the area of K-12 education law in Virginia from 2012 to the present. After two of the most active legislative and judicial sessions for education policy in recent years, this review can present only a select number of the many education-related statutes and judicial decisions introduced during this time. This survey places a special emphasis on the Virginia General Assembly's recent legislative updates to the Virginia education code. The volume and significance of these updates reflects Governor Robert McDonnell's commitment in 2013 to pursuing a bold education agenda. As Congress begins to seriously consider the reauthorization ofthe Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, however, the education community may need to prepare for additional significant changes to the K-12 school law landscape.

In 1865, near the end of the Civil War, the Indiana state legislature passed a school law that established a system of public schools, yet excluded black and other non-white children. Various attempts were made over the following years to amend this law and expand the school system to include black children. Governor Oliver Morton was a fierce proponent, but after he was elected the United States Senate to represent Indiana, this responsibility shifted to Lt. Governor Conrad Baker. While the general assembly struggled to pass a new law, communities across Indiana implemented their own solutions. In cities such as Indianapolis and Evansville, religious organizations such as the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church spearheaded efforts to educate African Americans. While the law was amended in 1869, African Americans still faced obstacles in obtaining equitable access to education in Indiana.

Die Verabschiedung eines neuen Gesetzes über das Bildungswesens hat bei der ungarischen Minderheit Befürchtungen wachgerufen, ihre Existenz als ethnische Gruppe in Rumänien sei bedroht. Der Verfasser stellt die Beratungen über das Gesetz und seine parlamentarische Verabschiedung dar und gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Vorschriften des neuen Bildungsgesetzes. Im Mittelpunkt der Kritik seitens der Vertreter der ungarischen Minderheit stand vor allem die Tatsache, daß das neue Gesetz weitgehend nur das Rumänische als Unterrichtssprache zuläßt. Die Verabschiedung des Gesetzes hatte einen negativen Einfluß auf die ungarisch-rumänischen Gespräche und rief zahlreiche internationale Organisationen auf den Plan. Sie führte zu einer Verschärfung des innenpolitischen Klimas in Rumänien und zu einer Radikalisierung der Forderungen der Ungarischen Demokratischen Föderation Rumäniens (UDMR). (BIOst-Wpt)
