Extractions: In the fall of 2001, the MES faculty met in grade groups to identify areas of need in preparation for writing the School Improvement Plan. The entire faculty met with parents to brainstorm accomplishments and write the school vision and mission. The Survey of Goals for Student Learning was sent to parents, community members, and all staff members. The Core Committee then met to analyze data collected from the grade group meetings, surveys and Louisiana school accountability results. The committee identified and prioritized needs to determine school goals for the 2001/2002 school year. The goals developed focused on increased achievement in reading and math and to improve attendance. In the spring of 2002, a SACS kickoff meeting was held which included all stakeholders such as community members, parents, faculty and staff. A core committee was chosen which consisted of writers and captains. Core members established a method of researching and reporting data. Opinion surveys and Survey of Instructional and Organizational Effectiveness were sent to parents, community members, students, teachers, and paraprofessionals and cafeteria workers. The writers compiled and analyzed the data to develop the school profile.

Extractions: Preliminary Guidance for Migrant Education Program, Title I, Part C Public Law 103-382 To help all children reach high academic standards, many states, school districts, and schools will need a new kind of technical assistance. They will need comprehensive assistance that is driven by the needs of families and children and that can provide tools and information to help them leverage all available resources in order to improve teaching and learning for all children. To that end, the Department is creating regional technical assistance centers to provide comprehensive, high-quality assistance and information. The Depart ment is also changing the way it relates to the field by shifting its focus from monitoring for compliance to providing support to enhance program quality. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), which houses the Office of Migrant Education, has a new organizational structure that is built around ten regional service teams. Existing program offices, including the Office of Migrant Education, will retain a small program base, but will provide most services to OESE grantees through teams that have staff with expertise in OESE's programs. This new structure signals a new relationship with states and local operating agencies. Rather than focus on providing program-specific advice, the restructured OESE will use cross-program teams to encourage and support state and local efforts to integra te services and collaborate across programs. In anticipation of this change, OESE began in 1994-95 to conduct integrated reviews of federally funded education programs. Integrated reviews are on-site observations and assessments performed by a team of s taff members from two or more program offices within the Department. Each focused on the progress of systemic reform efforts within a state and explored how individual federal programs fit within that broad reform effort. The Office of Migrant Education participated in all of the initial integrated reviews.

$250 Million For Better School Libraries A librarian from louisiana wrote, I am constantly challenged to facilitate resourcesharingamong schools and school library media centers and public http://reed.senate.gov/releases/0154.htm
Extractions: Home Congress Approves Reed Amendment Providing $250 Million to Improve School Libraries WASHINGTON, DC The Elementary and Secondary Education Act contains an amendment by U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) to provide $250 million to local schools to purchase new books and advanced technology, provide training for librarians and allow school libraries to remain open longer. Over the past 30 years, funding for school libraries has plummeted. While the average price of a new library book is $16, the average amount spent by school district per student for books is $6.75 in elementary school, $7.30 in middle school and $6.25 in high school. Direct federal funding for school libraries was eliminated in 1981 and local school districts and states have consistently cut school library funding in order to address more pressing needs. As a result, many outdated books which were acquired through funding provided under the original Elementary and Secondary Education Act in the mid-1960's are still on the shelf. Many librarians feel obliged to keep outdated books because they cannot afford to replace the books, especially volumes of reference materials, or the school districts do not have the trained staff to weed through the materials. The Department of Education reports that, on average, there is a ratio of one certified school librarian for every 591 students. In the neediest communities that ratio is even greater.

This project focused on research of the resources available on the Internet. The end product was an Internet resource guide for use in a K12 media center by students, teachers, and media specialists. By targeting a varied audience, the researcher was able to discover the resources that were availablefor all the people that a media specialist may serve. In addition, the researcher focused on reference and bibliographic sources for students because those resources would benefit the greatest number of students. For media specialists and teachers, she (Sally Moses) chose resources that would support their professions.

Which books are the topics of their conversations? M. Jerry Weiss provides us with some answers. Publisher's Connection POTPOURRI M. Jerry Weiss, Editor, Publisher's Connection New Jersey City University Students' Surprising Choices In April, 1998, I had the opportunity to visit two middle schools in Louisville, KY, to talk with students about what they were reading, and to discuss authors of some of their favorite books. I went to the schools, thinking I would hear about Gary Paulsen, Jerry Spinelli, Alice Reynolds Naylor, Judy Blume, Paula Danziger, Joan Lowery Nixon, Lois Duncan, Richard Peck, Paul Zindel, Gordon Korman, to mention just a few. I seemed to have arrived on a different planet. These were not the authors mentioned in either school. Instead I became involved in discussions about Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Tom Clancy, Piers Anthony, Paul Anderson, Terry Brooks, among other adult authors. What amused me was the way that the teachers and school media specialists were shaking their heads from left to right, indicating that these were not the authors on their library shelves. The students had discovered these authors and books on their own. I did not ask them how they came across these particular authors or their books. I should add that these were not students selected because they were "gifted or talented." The classes invited to meet with me were a heterogeneous group, reflecting a wide range of interests and abilities.

A compressed, interactive video system will be installed in each school district that will be used in conjunction with existing network infrastructure to provide distance learning opportunities to the twelve rural school districts. In addition, the school districts will benefit from the educational support and expertise that SEARK can provide thorough its service group of 21 total school districts.
