The Michigan Department of Education, as part of its Technology Literacy Challenge Fund Grant Program, has granted Okemos, East Lansing and Ingham Intermediate school districts over half a million dollars to develop, in collaboration with MSU, programs that will furnish students and educators with cutting-edge, 21st century resources for teaching and learning. "These three grants will permit MSU faculty to strengthen ties with leading educators in area schools. Together, the partners will develop innovative curricular materials in several disciplines," said Paul Hunt, vice provost for libraries, computing and technology. "Through its Virtual University, MSU will also deliver Advanced Placement courses to Michigan high school students who may not have access to local AP programs." Civics On-line - Okemos Public Schools Images and sounds such as Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and pictures of the first Freedom Rides, along with supporting teaching materials, will be easily available to social science teachers across Michigan through a project called Civics On-line.

They are funded through federal, state and local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community. Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According to the National Association of Independent Schools, the median tuition for private day schools in the United States is close to $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $13,000 for grades 6 to 8 and $15,000 for grades 9 to 12. The median tuition for boarding schools is $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $27,000 for grades 6 to 9, and $28,000 for grades 9 to 12. Parochial schools generally charge somewhat less.

Extractions: THE POWER OF ONE LETTER FROM PRESIDENT COLEMAN ... CONTACT US Michael Rachor knows what it means to be a non-traditional student Friends, family and students surround donor Michael Rachor at a reception honoring him. Joining Rachor in the front row is his wife, Gloria; in the middle row, from left, are scholarship recipients Ellen Makhenzon and Julie Dodd, with UM-Flint Chancellor Juan Mestas; in the back row, from left, are Arlene Kocsis and Charles Rachor, sister-inlaw and brother of Rachor. Ellen Makhenzon emigrated to the United States five years ago from Ukraine. Since then, she has learned English, earned U.S. citizenship, and started a family of two boys with her husband. Today, she is a 29-year-old college senior studying finance and economics and carrying a 3.8 grade point average in the business administration program at the University of Michigan-Flint. At first glance, the 44 scholarships supported by the Rachor Foundation appear to have little in common. They support students pursuing careers in management, medicine, U.S. history, and other disciplines. They cover tuition for graduate school, undergraduate study, community college, and parochial grade school. Some require good grades, others do not. Some are based on financial need, others are not.
Poor Kids Can Go To Private Schools WASHINGTON michigan came out the big winner Monday in a new national Both plans would likely include parochial as well as private schools. http://www.freep.com/news/education/qfund29.htm
Extractions: Free Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON Michigan came out the big winner Monday in a new national scholarship program set up by an entrepreneur to help poor children go to private or parochial schools. But the Children's Scholarship Fund is just the type of program that some public-school advocates say threatens the future of public education. Of 35,000 four-year scholarships ranging from $600 to $1,600 annually, 3,750 totaling about $15 million will go to Michigan. About 50 percent will be granted to students in metro Detroit; 37 percent are earmarked for the Grand Rapids area. "This is fabulous news," said Anita Nelam, a member of the Detroit Partnership for Parental Choice, a coalition of Detroit ministers and others who want alternatives to Detroit Public Schools. "This is a tremendous opportunity for us to expand parental choice in the city." The competition could help improve Detroit Public Schools, she said.

Extractions: 6 November 2000 Use this version to print On November 7 voters in California and Michigan will cast ballots on state-wide initiatives to provide parents with publicly funded school vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools. California's Proposition 38 (the National Average School Funding Guarantee and Parental Right to Choose Quality Education Amendment) would make a $4,000 voucher available to the parents of all school-age children. The official anti-voucher coalitions are largely made up of the teachers unions and other AFL-CIO affiliates and sections of the Democratic Party. But these forces offer no serious program or strategy for addressing the crisis in public education, and the danger consequently exists that growing numbers of parents, desperate to find better conditions for their children, may be susceptible to pro-voucher arguments, if not now, then at some point in the future. These forces have sought to exploit the widespread anxiety felt by working class and middle class families over deteriorating conditions in the public school system. The voucher proponents, however, conceal the fact that the crisis in the schools is the product of decades of federal, state and local spending cuts, tax breaks to big business and attacks on teachers' and other school employees' wages and working conditions.
