Each year, employees volunteer more than 15,000 hours of community service to local charities throughout southern Nevada. We support endeavors that are vital to the public's welfare and important to community's vitality. Our Employee Volunteer Program has two main goals. First, the program helps to increase the Company's involvement in the community. Second, the program provides a service to employees who want to get involved in their communities, but may not know where to start. The Employee Volunteer Program makes the connection with community organizations and works out the logistics so that employees can jump right in and get started.

Home Issues in Education "No Child Left Behind"/ESEA Special Ed/IDEA ... Other Resources NCLB Absurdities 'Adequate Yearly Progress' Absurdities NCLB requires schools and school districts to demonstrate " Adequate Yearly Progress " (AYP) in raising student test scores in reading and math. This fall, a large number of schools and school districts did not make AYP, including many good schools caught in absurd situations by AYP rules. A school can fail to make AYP if fewer than 95 percent of the students are present to take two standardized tests. Ooltewah High School, Hamilton County, Tennessee Ooltewah High students have one of the highest performing rates in the state, but their school is now labeled "in need of improvement" because only 94.1 percent of students took the standardized math test. Out of 1,700 total students, if three more had been present and taken the test that day, the school would not have been on the list. (Nashville News Channel 9, 9/5/03) Ridgewood High School, Ridgewood, New Jersey Many states have accountability systems that recognize and reward high performing and fast-improving schools. Yet a school can fail to make AYP even if it meets or exceeds its own state's standards for education.
