Notes from Editor column by Burton H. Brooks MDE's 5-year plan for technology on target Late last year, draft copies of Michigan's Five-Year State Technology Plan were unveiled to educators following its presentation to the State Board of Education on November 26. Within the following few weeks before the end of the year, school personnel and professional educational organizations were asked to respond to the document so that a more concentrated version can be written for immediate and long term use. Those who had an opportunity to react to the Michigan Department of Education's excellent outline for educational technology in Michigan for the next several years were asked to rate each of 21 recommendations and to select the five which they believe should receive the most emphasis during the next five years. Opinions differed as to which were the five most important recommendations, but most agreed that the entire body of suggested goals and supporting information were useful guidelines for educational technology at building, local, regional and state levels and could serve as a Michigan map for planning educational technology programs in the remaining years of this century. Early this year, aided by input from the field, the MDE will have fine-tuned the document for eventual approval of the State Board of Education. And, according to news reports, Michigan's newly hired Superintendent of Public Instruction

Higher Education System Characteristics and History Constitutional Autonomy State Board of Education Comunity Colleges Four-Year Public Institutions ... Financial Aid Each of Michigan's public institutions has its own governing board (with the exception of the University of Michigan's two branch campuses at Flint and Dearborn, which are governed by the same board as the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor). All boards have nine members, including the institutional president who serves as an ex-officio member. Other board members serve eight-year terms. The boards of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University are elected by the public in statewide elections. The Governor appoints the board members governing the rest of the public four-year institutions. Each of the public two-year community colleges has a regionally elected governing board. As Table 3 indicates, Michigan is about average relative to the seven states in this study with regard to participation in higher education among new high school graduates. The state has the highest percentage of students enrolled in public four-year institutions per 1,000 population among the study states, and average undergraduate, graduate and professional enrollments per 1,000 population. This indicates a possible change among generations in the emphasis on higher education; the percentage of the entire population that has completed a degree is low, yet the enrollment levels now are high.

The law requires that local sex education advisory boards include half of its members as parents, that sex education programs emphasize abstinence, and that they address eleven specific issues detailed in PA 165. PA 166 establishes a complaint process for parents. If the process does not result in compliance, schools can lose up to one percent of their state aid. Below are some documents that can provide more guidance to school districts as they reconstitute their Sex Education Advisory Boards and review and update their sex education programs.

California's Proposition 38 (the National Average School Funding Guarantee and Parental Right to Choose Quality Education Amendment) would make a $4,000 voucher available to the parents of all school-age children. The official anti-voucher coalitions are largely made up of the teachers unions and other AFL-CIO affiliates and sections of the Democratic Party. But these forces offer no serious program or strategy for addressing the crisis in public education, and the danger consequently exists that growing numbers of parents, desperate to find better conditions for their children, may be susceptible to pro-voucher arguments, if not now, then at some point in the future. These forces have sought to exploit the widespread anxiety felt by working class and middle class families over deteriorating conditions in the public school system. The voucher proponents, however, conceal the fact that the crisis in the schools is the product of decades of federal, state and local spending cuts, tax breaks to big business and attacks on teachers' and other school employees' wages and working conditions.

91. Putting Values In Classroom, Carefully In michigan, after months of discussion, the State Board of education is The michigan Board of education s final version of a character education policy http://personal.ecu.edu/estesst/2323/Readings/charactereducation.html

October 23, 1996 New York Times Putting Values in Classroom, Carefully By KEITH BRADSHER WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. When a public elementary school here in this affluent Detroit suburb recently adopted a policy of "character education," every class was to spend a few weeks on each of several values: respect, citizenship, caring, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness and justice. The problem was how to teach good citizenship, for example, as part of every subject from art to gym. The art teachers ended up assigning a color to each virtue purple for respect and blue for good citizenship and devised projects like color-coded paper dolls. The gym teachers invented a game in which second graders take turns as good citizens and bad citizens throwing balls over a low volleyball net. The game is rigged so that the good guys always win. "The moral of our game is, if you're a good citizen, you always come out on top," Sheryl Schmidt, the physical education instructor, told her class. Values like good citizenship and respect for others, once confined to social studies classes if taught at all are becoming a formal part of the curriculum in more and more public schools across the nation. The approach coincides with rising national interest in values and education, as shown by the recent presidential and vice-presidential debates.
