Extractions: It turns out that there are two states that can forgo the high-stakes testing requirements of the No Child Left Behind education reform act: Nebraska and Iowa. But Nebraska is the only one that is using the option to avoid the testing that is the cornerstone of the act and an anathema to many teachers and other educators. Nebraska's school districts develop their own requirements based on students' classroom portfolios, and they don't face the specter of an achievement test that determines whether they and their schools pass or fail. That's because of a state constitution that bans statewide requirements. The U.S. Department of Education says Congress provided an opton in the legislation to allow for state constitutional requirements. Iowa has a similar provision in the constitution, but it also has a long tradition of testing with its Iowa Test of Basic Skills, which it continues to use. Nebraska has made no attempt to change its policies and has no desire to do so, says Education Commissioner Douglas Christensen.

Extractions: Policy Frameworks for Distance Education: Implications for Decision Makers How can decision makers deal with the growing number of policy issues in the distance education arena? How can instructional managers comprehensively plan for the present and the future in a time of frequent flux and constant change? How can institutions structure a robust and proactive decision making environment around distance education? Are there policy making models to provide a foundation and to offer guidance to the decision maker in distance education? How can managers identify a policy making "zone?" We believe there are such models and we will briefly describe one of them, a Policy Analysis Framework. We will also outline a shorter version, which may be worthwhile to some practitioners at the beginning of the distance education policy path. Not included here are models of communication and computing assessment (Rocheleau, 1996), project management (task, time, and resources, Strauss 1997), instructional development models (Gustafson and Branch 1997), or delivery models (McLendon and Cronk, 1999). The focus is on distance education and management.
