Extractions: by Charlene K. Haar Despite much lip service to the contrary, teachers and teacher unions frequently view citizen/parent participation in school affairs as a threat to their benefits and their prerogatives. Although the importance of teacher/parent cooperation is obvious, parent/teacher relations are actually characterized by inherent conflicts of interest. For instance, parents want teachers to be available to meet with parents after school or on Saturdays or weekends. Clearly, such availability is not in the interests of teachers. They prefer to be duty free as much as possible; typically, they view availability to parents before or after the regular school day as an extra duty which calls for additional compensation. In saying this, I impute to teachers only the same degree of self interest that characterizes most workers. At some point, however, we must distinguish employer from employee rights; understandably, teachers, like employees generally, draw the line more in their favor than their employers would. Of course, parents are not the legal employers of public school teachers. Nevertheless, teacher employment responsibilities are important to parents in ways that go far beyond the ordinary citizen's stake in public education. A critical point is that these ways involve conflicts of interest that are typically resolved in collective bargaining between teacher unions and school boards. For example:

Extractions: Principal's Message School Facts Hours and Attendance School Calendar ... Contact Us May 26, 2004 It is anticipated that the Edina School District will have to reduce expenditures or find new revenue to make up a shortfall of approximately $1.8-$2 million for fiscal year 2005-2006. Unfortunately, the current legislative session ended with no positive financial impact on the school district. The district will therefore undergo an extensive Budget Reduction, Reallocation, and Revenue Generation (BRRRG) process to identify potential reductions and new revenue. As superintendent, I will oversee this process for the Board of Education. The process is yet to be established formally by the Board, but will be discussed at a Board workshop on July 12. The formal process will begin in September and conclude with a report to the Board in January. The timing fits well within the time frames of the legislature and our program and staffing needs for 2005-2006. The BRRRG committee will most likely be made up of the Board Finance Committee of which there are 6 members (three Board members and three community members). In addition, there will be administrative representatives from the three levels of schooling (elementary, middle, and high school) as well as a representative from the Teaching and Learning (curriculum) department. The role of this committee is to gather information and suggestions for cuts or new revenue, determine cost savings and whether they are legal and doable, and then provide a prioritized list to the Board for further review and action.

Extractions: From The Wall Street Journal Online It seemed like a simple thing, to hold a PTA meeting in the evening instead of during the workday. But for one mother, a Pittsburgh-area corporate attorney, getting it done proved impossible. When she asked the PTA president at her children's elementary school for a meeting to be held after work hours so she could attend, "I encountered open hostility," she says. Even after a parent poll at the school favored evening meetings, PTA leaders stuck to the daytime schedule. The attorney has given up and volunteers elsewhere. Getting involved in your kids' school can seem impossible for working parents. The timing of everything from school plays to bake sales, book drives and choir concerts can be a sore spot among parents, for understandable reasons. Working moms and dads desperately want to feel connected, but they need flexible volunteer opportunities and events timed around the workday. At-home parents, on the other hand, want to preserve family evenings and may feel being involved in school during the day is one benefit of staying home. The rift is one reason only one in nine working parents is active in children's schools, compared with a national average of one in four among all parents, says the National PTA, Chicago, a six-million-member parent group.

Extractions: Chapter 9 - Resources Finding the resources to finance, maintain, and upgrade equipment, and to provide teacher training and technical support is universally one of the biggest hurdles that schools face when it comes to technology implementation. For many, the funds are simply unavailable via the conventional means of local tax-based school financing. Despite this fact, we found schools and districts in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the nation that have somehow managed to establish exemplary technology programs. How did they do it? As an additional component of this chapter, we provide some information on the use of various information resources available through the Federal government. Not only is money essential for acquiring technology but so is good information about the availability of Federal programs and information sources. Questionnaire Data: Awareness, Use and Helpfulness of Resources In this area, we identified a list of nine very general approaches to expanding the resource base available to schools involved in implementing technology. It included various sources of resources (e.g., private versus public), various types of resources (e.g., money versus in-kind), and different types of relationships with the resource providers.
