The community colleges subscribe to an open door policy, admitting high school graduates as well as others who have personal developmental needs and who can profit from this educational experience. The specific programs offered by each of the community colleges are responses to the identified needs of the state and in particular the communities to be served. The community college mission encompasses a belief that education and training are the chief means of developing human capital for investment in the economic health of the state of Nevada. Each of the educational programs and support services provided through the community colleges is equally important. The college provides a broad range of courses to fulfill the requirements of an associate degree and the first two years of a baccalaureate degree aimed at preparing students for transfer to a four year college or university. The college offers transfer agreement contracts to eligible students.

Extractions: Statewide Masterplan for Nevada Libraries 2000-2005 Introduction The Statewide Masterplan for Nevada Libraries provides direction and serves as a blueprint for development of library services throughout the state. The plan is based on input from people who attended meetings in every corner of Nevada and also reflects the best thinking of public, school, academic and special librarians. The developing draft was reviewed and discussed at regional meetings in Elko, Las Vegas, Reno and Carson City. The planning process incorporated ideas gleaned from efforts in states with characteristics similar to Nevada on the variables of population, population density and revenue. A planning background document was developed by Elko County Librarian Sara Jones as part of an internship toward her graduate degree from Syracuse University School of Information Studies. Using the above variables, Sara developed summaries and evaluations of planning documents from Idaho, Nebraska, New Mexico and Utah. Sara also reviewed the 1996-2000 Statewide Masterplan for Nevada Libraries to determine which objectives had been met and which activities had been completed. This work demonstrates the overall effectiveness of the plan in terms of impact on library services in Nevada.
Extractions: Over 10 percent of Home School Legal Defense Association member families are teaching a child with special learning needs, and the number continues to grow. What does a parent do when his child needs extra help, a different approach, or special equipment to be able to learn? What if these services are not accessible through the private sector, and then denied by the public school? In order to clarify the law for our families throughout the country who need these services, but have been denied, Home School Legal Defense Association filed suit on behalf of several families. We filed in Connecticut when 9-year-old Kaitlyn Gallagher was denied $10,000 of specialized equipment for the blind, in New Jersey when 6-year-old Gregory Forstrom was denied speech therapy, and in Nevada when 9-year-old Christopher Hooks was denied speech therapy.

Extractions: December 04, 2003 SUN STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON Education Department officials have decided children with the most severe learning problems can be held to a different academic standard than their peers a move that will ease pressure on schools struggling to make yearly progress. The new department rule to be announced within days would affect a limited number of students deemed to have "significant cognitive disabilities" by their states. It would allow those students to be tested against standards appropriate for their intellectual development. More significantly, those scores would be counted as part of their school's performance. Currently, students who take tests based on different standards can't be considered "proficient." This penalizes schools as they add up yearly achievement, which is critical because schools that receive federal aid for the poor, but fail to make adequate yearly progress, face increasing sanctions from the government. Many schools have failed to make annual progress because disabled students didn't score high enough on tests or because too few of those students participated.
