Extractions: Authored by: Maggie Walters, Montana PTA Advocacy Vice President Madam President, the Montana PTAs Legislative Platform states that we will recommend, initiate and support legislation and appropriations for public schools that will ensure all children and youth in Montana a high quality education. The Montana PTA will support legislation for the improvement of community programs and facilities which provide maximum protection against moral, emotional and physical hazards for children and youth and strengthen home and family life. The Montana PTA believes all levels of government play varying roles in ensuring that the educational needs of all citizens are met. In order to ensure effective and efficient use of limited public resources, the responsibilities of each level should be clearly defined. Controls of the public schools belong to the taxpayers through their nonpartisan state Board of Education and elected nonpartisan local Boards of Education and the Montana PTA shall oppose any legislation that would curtail the power and responsibility of local Boards of Education. No local, state or federal legislation policies or procedures would be passed that will erode the authority of local Boards of Education. The State roll in education should include the responsibility of providing a system of financing education to ensure adequate and equitable financing of public elementary and secondary schools and to ensure the continued strength and diversity of post-secondary institutions. In addition, the State should be formally committed to ensuring all persons within Montana an equal educational opportunity without regard to race, sex, national origin, handicapping condition, ethnic heritage, economic condition or geographic location.

Extractions: Paying for Child Care The cost of paying for child care is a major consideration for most families. Many families today are spending over half of their income toward high-quality child care programs. There are many reasons why child care can be so expensive. Some of the reasons include high ratios of adults to children, teacher or provider qualifications, location of care, and costs of space, insurance, equipment, and special programs. Quality care for infants and toddlers can be especially expensive, due to small group sizes. Hiring an in-home caregiver tends to be the most expensive form of care, followed by centers and family child care homes. Find out more about the cost of care, government assistance, employer-sponsored programs, and tax credits that may be of benefit to you. Assistance in Paying for Child Care If you are receiving TANF or if you are working, there are many ways that you can find out more about income-eligible programs, and receive government assistance in paying for child care.

Extractions: Auburn, Alabama Extension educators and their community collaborators are increasingly being held accountable for results. They need to know how to evaluate their programs and effectively communicate results to stakeholders. This article reports the design and results of a statewide training in parent education evaluation in Montana, using the National Extension Parent Education Model (NEPEM). It provides a useful example of how evaluation training can be conceived, carried out, and evaluated by Extension professionals. The National Extension Parent Education Model (NEPEM) and The Alabama Children's Trust Fund Evaluation Manual In 1992, a team of specialists in the Cooperative Extension System noted that a national parent education model that pulled together critical parenting practices did not exist. In collaboration with family life specialists throughout the nation, the team reached agreement on a model summarizing core categories and the critical parenting practices emerging from them.
