21 Conflict Resol. Q. 1 (2003-2004)

handle is hein.journals/cfltrq21 and id is 1 raw text is: O ver the past month, as I finalized the contents of this issue, I have had the opportunity to participate in several meetings concerning conflict resolution education and the future policy and research agendas for this portion of our field. I have been heartened by the consensus of support for CRE and reinforced in my belief that one of the major contributions of Conflict Resolution Quarterly is to promote and report research on the efficacy of CRE and related efforts. I have been alarmed by the sense of urgency and the evaporating opportunity to share research proven prac- tices with the educational community in a timely manner so they can use this information to secure rapidly dwindling resources from the federal government. I have been comforted by the new and renewed commitment to partnership among major organizations in the field, walking their talk of collaboration with each other rather than competing against the other. I have also been profoundly saddened by the challenge to several institutions that have been leaders in this field. Mostly, I have been emboldened to assertively pursue what I perceive to be the most important next step for conflict resolution education: the development of preservice education initiatives for elementary and secondary school teachers in conjunction with mentoring structures supported by solid in-service work. Although it is highly unusual, and certainly precedent-setting in my editorship, I would like to dedicate this issue to Jennifer Batton, director of the schools programs at the Ohio Commission for Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management. This past year, faced with serious financial short- falls, the Ohio legislature proposed cutting the commission's funding. As June proceeds quickly to a close, it appears that all efforts (some of which were almost heroic) to save the school programs of the commission and get funding restored by the legislature have failed. With this decision, Ohio and the nation have lost the leading CRE state institution in the country. Established by the Ohio legislature in 1989, the commission provided dispute resolution programs and services throughout the state, working with schools, courts, communities, and state and local government. Since the early 1990s, the commission and the Ohio Department of Education CONFLICT RESOLUTION QUARTERLY, vol. 21, no. 1, Fall 2003 @ Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 1 and the Association for Conflict Resolution
