Educators Converge on Capitol Hill to Oppose the Elimination of Education Technology Funding For more information contact: Jon Bernstein Consortium for School Networking Press Release: Barbara McDonald ISTE Washington, D.C. – March 21, 2005 – Nearly 150 education technology advocates from 37 states fanned out across Capitol Hill today to demonstrate to Congress their strong opposition to the Administration’s proposal to eliminate the Enhancing Education Through Technology Program (EETT). The education technology advocates held meetings with the offices of their respective Senators and US Representatives and explained how pivotal the EETT program is to complying with the No Child Left Behind Act’s goals of closing the achievement gap and ensuring that all teachers are highly qualified. The joint Advocacy Day was sponsored by the Consortium for School Networking and the International Society for Technology in Education. Advocacy Day participants, hailing from different points on the map and with vastly different technology needs, were unified in their message of support for EETT: Norton Gusky, coordinator of education technology for Fox Chapel Area School District in Pennsylvania, stated that: “EETT funds have been used to provide materials and training for teachers and administrators to deal with the mandates of

AUGUST 2005 Main Article: Infection Control in the Correctional Setting By Joseph Bick*, MD, CCHP Disclosures: *Nothing to disclose The crowded conditions that exist in most jails and prisons create an ideal environment for the transmission of contagious diseases. Limited availability of clean laundry, soap and water increase the probability that infectious diseases will be transmitted from one person to another. Furthermore, the transient status of inmates who are frequently moved from one location to another can complicate the diagnosis of infection, recognition of an outbreak, interruption of transmission, performance of a contact investigation and eradication of disease. Many correctional facilities have inadequate information technology, and the linkages between different jurisdictions and agencies responsible for the care of inmates are often poor. Published guidelines for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of communicable diseases are not always readily applicable to the correctional setting. This article is the second in a two-part series, the first of which appeared in the IDCR July/August 2004 issue.

Source: Charter School Achievement: What We Know, July 2005 Update Budget, Finance, and Fundraising Introduction Budgets and Fiscal Management Facilities and Start-Up Costs Charter School Revenues ... Resources I. Introduction The financial autonomy of charter schools depends on each state's charter school legislation. In states that regard charter schools as schools within a district (also known as local educational agencies [LEAs]), the charter schools' fiscal responsibilities are similar to those of the other schools in the district. In states that treat charter schools as independent school districts/LEAs, charter schools have the same fiscal responsibility and autonomy as other independent districts/LEAs. Although all charter schools, regardless of status, must develop sound financial management practices, it is especially important that charter schools established as independent LEAs be able to address a full range of fiscal management issues. Since proper accounting for the use of local, state, and federal funds is a critical element in operating and maintaining continued support for a charter school, the budget plans that charter schools develop must ensure that public funds are used properly, reflect the charter school's purpose and philosophy, and stand up to a financial audit.

W Academic Performance Index (API) A single number index for a school or district using specified measures of student performance. A school’s API score is used as the basis for ranking California’s public schools. The ranking system is based on deciles, with each decile representing 10% of the schools. Decile 1 schools are the lowest performing schools. Decile 10 schools are the highest performing. As of January 2003, results from the California Standards Tests (CSTs) in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics for all students in grades 2–11 plus history/social science in high school are included in the API score. CSTs in ELA and mathematics will count for 80% of an elementary or middle school's API score. The other 20% is based on scores in ELA and math from the California Achievement Tests, Sixth Edition Survey (CAT/6) , a standardized basic-skills test that compares California students to a national sample of students. In high schools, 73% of the API score is based on results from CSTs in ELA, mathematics, and history/social science; 12% on the CAT/6, which measures ELA, mathematics, and science; and 15% on the results of the California High School Exit Exam,

CFNP Summer Food Service Program for Children (SFSP) When school lets out, millions of low-income children lose access to the school breakfasts, lunches and afterschool snacks they receive during the regular school year. The Summer Food Service Program for Children is a key to filling this gap. The Summer Food Service Program provides meals and snacks to children who might otherwise go hungry and is often provided in conjunction with educational, developmental, and recreational activities. With more parents working outside the home, organizations are serving school-age children afterschool as well as during the summer. History Benefits Participation Eligibility ... USDA Resources History The Summer Food Service Program for Children (SFSP) was created by Congress in 1968. It is an entitlement program designed to provide funds for eligible sponsoring organizations to serve nutritious meals to low-income children when school is not in session. Benefits The SFSP feeds hungry children in the summer, gives a boost to public and private non-profit summer programs, and helps give low-income children the best start on the new school year. Many of the children served are at nutritional risk when they do not have access to school meals.

Enter keyword: Volume 16 Fall 2004 Issue No. 1 'Working Together, Unlimited Things Can Happen' CDC, tribes, colleges strive to improve Native health by Ron Selden PIPELINES FOR STUDENTS. Tribal colleges introduce students such as Carol Gist and Cindy McCorison to health professions. Photo by Jonathan Chapman Photography, courtesy of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College Making positive changes in the overall health of American Indians and Alaska Natives must come from within the community, and "the more tribal members who become healthcare professionals, the better," says Pelagie "Mike" Snesrud, a Dakota Sioux working for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. Native people living on reservations and in urban areas face a broad array of health problems, Snesrud notes. There are many documented disparities in the health status and in the quality of health services Native people receive compared with other populations. The CDC is committed to improving the health of Native Americans, according to Snesrud. The agency, she says, recognizes that substantial progress can be attained by expanding government-to-government consultation and developing stronger partnerships with tribes. Snesrud is one of two full-time employees assigned to the "Indian desk" in the CDC's Office of Minority Health. She and Dr. Ralph Bryan, a medical epidemiologist, are helping to formulate a new tribal consultation policy for CDC, one of the agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Snesrud is in Atlanta, and Bryan is based at the Indian Health Service National Programs office in Albuquerque.
