Extractions: Weekly Reader, Newsweek hook up on new publication aimed at getting kids involved in current events. G Newsweek to create Teen Newsweek Teen Newsweek , launched in September, reaches 300,000 sixth to ninth graders. Packaged to look like Newsweek , the magazine offers enough variety to draw both female and male readers, Maccarone says. With content closely tied to curricula, the magazine is primarily used in social studies classes to teach current events and civic studies. But Maccarone hopes that language arts teachers will begin adopting it. The magazine features news stories, columns, a cartoon, a debate page, and an activities page for vocabulary, current events, and critical thinking, as well as related Web site listings.

Extractions: Editorial Consultant, LSU School of Dentistry They ran like gazelles and swam like schools. Once they were through, they knew what to do, which was to open wide for the annual oral screening that the LSU School of Dentistry (LSUSD) and the Special Olympics, Special Smiles (SOSS) Dental Health Program held at the 2000 Special Olympics at Tulane University. This year 60 volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and LSUSD faculty and students screened and educated 541 athletes, which was one more than last year's 540. Due in part to the services that the Louisiana Dental Health Resources/Dental Medicaid Office provides to the Louisiana developmental centers, many athletes had good oral health. "Some of those that we see in the developmental centers came through with a heightened awareness of oral health, and therefore, had little trepidation of the screening," said Charlotte Connick, R.D.H., M.S., assistant professor and the coordinator of the Louisiana Special Olympics Special Smiles Dental Health Program. Besides screening and educating, SOSS is collecting data on this population. Connick and Dr. Peter Fos, assistant dean of the Tulane School of Public Health, are in the preliminary stages of a study that thus far has data on nearly 1,100 who were screened in 1999 and 2000. They will compare the oral health of those who are in the centers to those who are not. "Sometimes caregivers at home are not getting education on oral health for this population," Connick said.

Extractions: This was an enjoyable visit, and we hope this report provides a fair and accurate description of the community, school, and efforts to provide a quality education for the students of this parish. While we learned a great deal about education in an area for which there are considerable economic limitations and other major challenges, we also gained an understanding and appreciation for some of the major barriers for systemic reform and the value of recognizing little successes and signs of improvement whereever and whenever they occur. East Feliciana Parish is located in the heart of English Louisiana's Plantation Country where cotton was once king. The parish occupies a land area of 453.4 square miles (290,200 acres) of which 2.3 square miles or 1,464 acres are covered by water. Geographically, it is strategically located in the southeastern part of the state, immediately (about 30 minutes by automobile) north of Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, and it extends north to the Louisiana-Mississippi state line.

Extractions: Government Finance Review , August 1996 Charter schools are illuminating education finance issues that could have implications for high-performance schools, decentralized schools, and education funding in general. As of May 1996, 22 states had some type of charter school law on the books, and more states are likely to follow. This response is significant given that the first charter school law was enacted just five years ago. Charter schools are independent public schools formed by teachers, parents, and/or other community members. Such schools are freed from most state and local laws and/or policies in exchange for a written contract (or charter) which specifies certain learner results that must be met. Each charter school law is different (as are the resulting schools), and much has been written about the characteristics of stronger and weaker laws. Charter schools formed under weaker laws tend to remain a legal part of their school district and pose few serious school finance challenges. Those schools formed under stronger laws, however, are often legally and fiscally autonomous entities. This situation is raising new issues about how charter and other public schools are funded. Charter schools with fiscal autonomy could serve as laboratories to study whether funding schools directly - versus the current system of funding districts - results in resources being more closely connected to student performance.
