Alternative Schools - Private Boarding Schools alternative schools â These schools are not just training grounds for the armed forces but also in many other fields. http://www.militaryschooloptions.com/education.html
Extractions: Contact us today to get help for struggling teens With the quality of most public schools dwindling as a result of increased enrollment and decreased funding, many parents seek alternative schools to educate their children. Effective alternatives include private schools whose focus is a military style of discipline and education. Military schools provide cadets with the traditional college prep curriculum found in public schools, but the quality of teaching often exceeds that found in public school. Since most military schools are also a boarding school, many times the teachers are fully dedicated to the students and can offer extra academic assistance. In addition to a quality education, cadets can expect to have organized daily study time to ensure they complete their assignments and keep from falling behind.
Kerr Center For Sustainable Agriculture Bringing oklahoma Food to oklahoma schools. by Maura McDermott. Two groundbreaking publicationsThe oklahoma Farmto-School Report and The oklahoma Food http://www.kerrcenter.com/nwsltr/2003/fall/news_okfood.html
Extractions: Fall 2003 by Maura McDermott Two groundbreaking publications The Oklahoma Farm-to-School Report and The Oklahoma Food Connection: A Directory of Agricultural Producers, Crops, and Institutional Buyers Oklahoma Food Policy Council For its first project, the group examined the potential for increased use of locally grown foods by public institutions, especially public schools. The council was acting on the belief that serving fresh, locally grown foods would not only improve the quality and the nutritional value of the meals served by these institutions, but would also bring increased opportunities and profitability to farmers interested in this market. The first step in the project was to learn the buying habits of institutional food service directors in the state. The council, assisted by Barry Bloyd and his staff from the Agricultural Statistics Service and Dr. Kathleen Kelsey of Oklahoma State University, with coordination by council co-chair Jim Horne and Kerr Center staff, devised and mailed a 30-question survey to 638 institutions in Oklahoma: public schools, colleges and universities, correctional centers, state hospitals, technology centers and state resorts. The response to this survey was very good, nearly 67%. While it is clear from the responses given that currently not much Oklahoma-grown food is served by these institutions, many have a high level of interest in buying it.
Extractions: Alternative public schools are in jeopardy just when we need them most to meet the needs of troubled students. That does not have to be so. We can create and develop alternative schools that do not crumble the minute the political winds shift or the economy begins to slow down. I know because I run one that has stood the test of time. In a minute, Ill tell you how, but first I want to tell you what too often goes wrong. In my experience, alternative public schools have a brief life cycle that starts with enthusiasm and ends in disintegration. Typically, a school district will begin with a small program designed for anywhere from 15 to 30 students, run by a small group of full and part-time teachers, and paid for with state or deferral grants. These teachers generally have some freedom from normal school rules and regulations during the first year. That allows them to learn more quickly what works and what doesnt. Alternative programs usually work well in the beginning. The teachers are enthusiastic and committed. The students attendance and academic performance improve, and they seem to develop higher expectations for themselves. What more could we ask for?

OKLAHOMA CITY , Oklahoma (CNN) President Bush, speaking Monday at the dedication ceremony for a museum and interactive media center commemorating the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, said Americans must remember the goodness of what was lost to that terrorist act. "The time of mourning has passed, but the time of remembering will never pass," Bush told the citizens of Oklahoma City. "Your loss was great, and your pain was deep. Far greater and deeper was your care for one another, and that is what brings us back to this place today." Marking his first Presidents Day, Bush arrived in Oklahoma Monday morning to dedicate the Oklahoma City facility that commemorates the 168 people killed on April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building the most lethal terrorist attack on U.S. More than 500 people were injured in the bombing. The convicted perpetrator of the bombing, Timothy McVeigh, is scheduled to die by lethal injection on May 16 at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The popular Mercy Health Career Exploration Day, now in its third year, gave area students a chance to learn about a wide variety of job opportunities. Students often think that a career in health care simply means being a doctor or a nurse, but there are so many opportunities in health care today, said Kerri Beasley, RN, Mercy recruitment coordinator. This event isnt a lecture or some boring intro into health care; this is an exciting hands-on experience for students to see what they would get to do in a health care career. We dont tell them about it, they get to see it up close. Students couldnt agree more.

SENATE 1997 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY - EDUCATION SB 1 (Fisher/Tyler) Requires the oklahoma School of Science and HB 1458 (Wells/Fisher) Consolidates the alternative Approaches Grant Programs, http://www.oksenate.gov/publications/legislative_summary/LegisRevu97.dir/LRevu97
Extractions: Education With nearly 150 education-related bills filed in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, covering several important education topics, such as student suspension, technology and technology training for teachers, district annexation, charter schools, and school choice; education received a great deal of attention. Legislation addressing student suspension (HB 2130) and technology training for teachers (SB 398) successfully passed the Legislature to be later signed by the Governor but district annexation, charter schools, and school choice had a more difficult time. District annexation proposed in SB 751(4) (Gustafson) came under fire primarily by the school administrators and parents of elementary school districts who expressed concerns over losing the autonomy and quality of their small schools. Independent school districts in support of the measure called for a sharing of the costs of education services for students from the elementary school districts. Currently none of the ad valorem taxes collected within the elementary school district follows the students as they enter into the independent school district. This measure was held over in the Senate Education Committee, pending an interim study. Charter schools presented another issue that piqued the interest of many this session. Out of the six charter school measures introduced only threeSB 13(5) (Williams/Roach), SB 592(4),(Williams/Bryant), and HB 1418(4) (Bryant/Williams)would be heard on the floor of either chamber. All failed, despite the open endorsement of charter schools by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sandy Garrett.

Extractions: HCRHS Home District News Athletics Counseling ... Search Oklahoma! Finds Home at Central by Erika Hellings Senior Marina Fishbeyn stops to make a last-second adjustment to a cast members costume while all around her, the auditorium and the surrounding area are buzzing with activity. While stage crew members set up backstage, musicians tune and warm up their instruments, actors and dancers change into costume, and the directors do their best to maintain order. The chaos is due in part to the usual hectic but fun experience described by Fishbeyn, acting as costume mistress for this year. However, as the opening curtain draws near, the cast, crew, musicians, and directors rush to make last-minute preparations to ensure that the music, scenery, costumes, lighting, and staging all come together. In this years case, the finished product is Oklahoma!, one of American musical theaters classics. The show, written by Broadway legends Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein, first debuted sixty years ago, and has since been reprised by high schools, colleges, and community theaters frequently. Central has staged Oklahoma! on two other occasions, most recently in 1995. We return to the great shows because they work, and they are loved by the public, explained director Reva Kazman. Katie Atanian, who plays lead Aunt Eller said that Rodgers and Hammersteins characters dont initially seem to have much depth to them. But as the story progresses, the characters take on more distinct qualities which give the show meaning.
