Nebraska LJS Resources: Mortgage Rates Featured Web Sites: Fremont Tribune Columbus Telegram Beatrice Daily Sun Midwest Messenger Legislature: Home Email this story Printable Version Small school backers rebuff consolidation plan By SCOTT BAUER / The Associated Press The parent of a student in one of Nebraska's elementary-only schools had one question for the Legislature's Education Committee at a hearing Tuesday. "Why are we here?" Ed Swotek asked. Tara Frickel (top left) testifies before the education committee in the State Capitol on Tuesday during a standing-room-only hearing. (Ken Blackbird) Why Swotek and about 100 other parents and school employees filled the room was to oppose a proposal that would force the elementary-only schools, known as Class Is, to merge with larger kindergarten through 12th grade districts. Swotek and the other people speaking objected to what they said was a state-mandated effort to close the schools, which they said offer students a unique, high-quality educational experience. "The present system works," Swotek said. "It's not broke and doesn't need to be fixed."

Nebraska Overview Nebraska's telecommunications network infrastructure is among the best in the country: fiber optic cables connect all 93 of the state's counties with digital technology. State officials estimate that 99 percent of Nebraska's population has access to advanced telecommunications services, since all of its communities are served by digital switching. Citizens, governments, and businesses have put this infrastructure to use in many ways. Omaha, for example, is often cited as the center of the nation's telemarketing industry. Local government and industry analysts expect improvements to Nebraska's information infrastructure to take the form of policy changes and educational measures rather than additional infrastructure construction projects. The legislature created the Nebraska Information Technology Commission to develop a statewide strategy to ensure that the telecommunications infrastructure needed to remain competitive was planned, coordinated, and put in place in a timely fashion. The commission's final report, released in November 1994, outlines desired policy changes that would recognize the impact of and take advantage of telecommunications technology. The report recommends educating citizens about how to use the technology and expanding the uses of the state's well-developed network infrastructure. Infrastructure Development Nebraska deregulated its telecommunications market in 1987, far ahead of many other states. This early deregulation is probably one of the reasons Nebraska succeeded in building an extensive, sophisticated telecommunications access system. The state government is the largest single consumer of telecommunications services. Although 42 different companies provide telephone services in the state, the government has been able to leverage its market share to create the incentives for private telecommunications companies to invest in infrastructure: the cost of infrastructure development has been borne entirely by the private sector. State service contracts help providers recover costs, however. The state has often agreed to contracts of up to ten years to demonstrate its commitment to private sector development.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute Nebraska Wesleyan University K-12 Science Teaching Institute 2002 Instructors and Participants The K-12 Science Teaching Institute at Nebraska Wesleyan University is made possible by a 2001-2004 grant from HHMI to provide an outreach program for Nebraska K-12 math (elementary-middle school) and science teachers from Class C and D schools. This is the third time (1993-1996, 1997-2000) NWU has received a four-year grant from HHMI to train teachers. Secondary science teachers are often the only science person in their high schooland sometimes even their junior high school. Out of necessity, these science teachers must teach certain science courses for which they have no endorsement to teach. This is also the case for elementary-middle school teachers in math and science consequently the training has been expanded from 7-12 to a K-12, Math, Science and Instructional Technology Institute. The primary focus of this outreach program is to assist participants by providing a better knowledge in math, science and technology and inexpensive hands-on tools (which they take home) and computer software for teaching math and science in order to increase student interest and understanding of interdisciplinary concepts and relationships. The participants and instructors will also form a network for sharing math, science and technology information through email and the HHMI web site.

CCPE Home Comprehensive Plan Introduction and Overview Chapter 1: Higher Education for Nebraska's Future ... Appendix Three Chapter Five MEETING EDUCATIONAL NEEDS THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATION No higher education institution or sector can operate successfully in isolation. To realize its full potential, higher education must extend beyond colleges and universities and forge partnerships with businesses, industries, K/12 schools, government agencies, cultural institutions, communities, and families. Such partnerships offer many benefits to the institutions as well as the State and its citizens. Goals and Strategies Major Statewide Goal: Higher education institutions will work as partners with one another and with other entities whenever appropriate to share resources and deliver programs cooperatively to enhance learning opportunities for Nebraska residents. PARTNERSHIPS AMONG PUBLIC POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS Collaboration and partnerships among the State’s public postsecondary education institutions will improve efficiency and save taxpayer dollars. Beyond the savings, however, collaboration also offers institutions a means to improve quality and enhance the scope of their offerings through integrating learning opportunities, and sharing of expertise and resources. The result of such partnerships will be a network of institutions with distinct roles and missions and unique areas of excellence that work together to ensure that the State’s higher education needs are met.
