"The Giles report pro-
vided us with an impetus
and a focus," Mr. Wise
said.
The first step was cre-
ating a constitution for
JEC. The constitution
committee, chaired by
Mr. Wise, included seven
professional Jewish edu-
cators and members of
the council.
Approved Oct. 15 by
JEC, the mission state-
ment remains intention-
ally broad — listing
goals and direction, but
leaving the realization of
those objectives up to the
membership and board of
JEC.
Among the aims are: to
promote professional
growth and communica-
tion, to coordinate and
facilitate development of
teaching staff and lay
educational leadership
and to advocate Jewish
education.
To promote growth and
communication, JEC
hopes to disseminate
information on Jewish
education, create forums
and networks to focus on
special issues, provide
opportunities to study
with experts, and
encourage educators to
pursue higher levels of
professional certification.
JEC hopes to reach its
others goals through cer-
tification of teachers
through AJE, establish-
ment of seminars on
Jewish education for lay
leaders, and develop-
mentof a public rela-
tions system.
The constitution also
addresses issues of mem-
bership, officers, voting,
committees, dues and
amendments.
"We wanted to be
taken seriously," Mr.
Wise said. "So we had to
constitute ourselves for-
mally and play by the
rules and work within
the established frame-
work.
"We saw the Giles
report as an opening.
Not as a way to destroy
an agency, but to take an
institution with strong
roots and refocus it to
where Jewish education
is today and should be
tomorrow," he added. ❑
JHA Shifts Focus
To Prentis Manor
Aged officials are
shifting attention
these days away
from Borman Hall to
Prentis Manor, the 100-
bed nursing home facility
in Southfield whose state
operating license expires
in February.
State officials are
expected to survey Prentis
sometime before February.
Generally, inspection
takes place within 90 days
of a license's expiration.
Borman passed state
inspection early last
month, when state health
officials removed four of
the highest level (Level A)
code violations which could
have forced the Seven Mile
Road facility to close.
Since August, Borman
twice failed state survey,
forcing JHA crews to work
round-the-clock to correct

violations and implement
new systems. Officials are
concerned that Prentis
may not be up to par, and
they have begun imple-
menting the Borman sys-
tem at Prentis.
"It's too early to tell how
it's working," said acting
JHA Administrator
Markey Butler. "One of the
assumptions is that if
there is a problem in one
place, it will be in the
other. We're working in di-
etary and updating charts."
Ms. Butler, who special-
izes in fast-track cleanups
of nursing homes, said her
team is "trying to be more
rational in our approach
with Prentis" because it is
not in danger of closure at
this point.
"We are not going full
tilt and millions of dol-
lars," Ms. Butler said. "We
will try to avoid level A." ❑
