Administration State Educational Statistics Dear Friends, The Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 calls for dramatic changes in public education over a 7-year period. Among the major improvements are greater and more equitable funding to schools, accountability for student learning, and statewide standards for students, educators, schools and districts. While there is still much to be done to achieve our goals, substantial progress has been made in schools throughout the Commonwealth. Many people have asked for an update on Education Reform at its midpoint, including the Governor and legislative leaders, members of the State Board of Education and local school committees, the Massachusetts Education Reform Review Commission, advisory councils, and parents. I hope this progress report is helpful in answering your questions.

Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act and general administrative regulations applicable to these programs. To be eligible to receive Ed-Flex authority, a State educational agency must have an approved Goals 2000 comprehensive improvement plan and possess the authority to waive State education requirements. The twelve States that have been delegated Ed-Flex authority are Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Vermont.

As the nation awaits the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Court on the right of same-sex couples to civil marriage, educators are the presented with an opportunity to teach students about one of the most significant civil and human rights issues of our time. Marriage is a critical issue because it touches all at once on questions of love and sex, religion and politics, access to legal and economic benefits, and the role of government in our personal lives. Along with parents and care takers, schools must take a leading role in providing accurate information about same-sex relationships and creating safe spaces in which students can make sense of the various points of view they hear from family, peers, community leaders, and mass media. Toward this end, At Issue: Marriage, Exploring the Debate Over Marriage Rights for Same-Sex Couples offers educators six lesson plans for high school aged students that challenges them to explore the range of complex issues reflected in the marriage debate.

Extractions: The COEC provides community members current, appropriate, science and technology-based information specifically designed to address environmental health issues in rural Midwestern communities, and other vulnerable populations. The COEC also serves as a local, state, national and international resource and assists community organizations and populations with special needs. Rural Americans are more often at increased risk from a number of agricultural and rural environmental hazards and exposures, have less access to health care providers, and generally have more adverse health outcomes than Americans living in urban areas. Farmers, farm family members, children, the elderly, and the poor are at particular risk. The COEC channels the diverse environmental health capabilities of the EHSRC toward meeting the educational needs of the broader community, promoting environmental health, and serving America's heartland as a technical resource to assist in making environmental health policy.
