Extractions: Regional Office of Education #17 The Illinois State Board of Education is a group of nine people who have been appointed to represent all Illinois citizens in setting policy for the public schools. Its responsibility includes preschool through high school, as well as adult education and vocational education. The board consists of nine (9) members appointed as follows: 2 appointees from Cook County, one of whom must be a resident of the City of Chicago and one of whom must be a resident of that part of Cook County outside the city limits of Chicago; 2 appointees from the five counties contiguous to Cook County; 2 appointees from among the remaining counties in the rest of the state; and 3 appointees selected as members-at-large. Board members are generally selected on the basis of their knowledge of, or interest and experience in public education.

Extractions: (SIRS) Research You Can Use Topical Synthesis #3 Kathleen Cotton and Nancy Faires Conklin INTRODUCTION Education in the second half of the twentieth century has been characterized by increases in the provision of educational programs for preschool-age children. The largest wave of preschool education activity has been the federally funded Head Start program, established in the 1960s to help children overcome the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical deficits that frequently accompany growing up in economically deprived homes. By providing an array of educational and social services to children and their families, Head Start programs are designed to foster general well-being and enhance school readiness, so that these children might gain the full benefit of their school experiences and be more successful in life generally. If Head Start and other programs for economically disadvantaged children can be shown to make a positive difference in these children's school and life experiences, their impact can be very widespread. Schweinhart (1985) points out that one-fourth of all children under the age of six are living in poverty, and that three-fifths of the mothers of three- and four-year-old children now work outside the home. However, fewer than 20 percent of the nation's threeand four-year-olds from poor families are currently enrolled in Head Start programs. Kindergarten enrollment has also increased dramatically in recent years. While only seven states mandate kindergarten attendance, about 95 percent of all children currently attend kindergarten (Sava 1987), and 23 percent of these attend full-day programs (Karweit 1988).
