Rural Statistics The Rural Bellwether By Kathy Christie Reprinted with permission from Phi Delta Kappan , February 2001. Schools in rural America face an array of problems every bit as daunting and intractable as those confronting schools in urban communities. In rural communities, graduating students who see no future locally leave town, and a snowball effect begins. These young people are no longer there to start families, to send their children to school, to buy toothpaste from the local druggist or houses from the local realtor. A “brain drain” begins that leaves fewer high-quality workers to attract high-quality jobs. Fewer high-quality jobs means even fewer opportunities for the next generation of students, who will find themselves forced by economic necessity to leave the community. In fact, in 22 states, more than half of all rural schools lost students between the 1994-95 and 1997-98 school years, according to the newsletter Rural Policy Matters. Those states with the highest percentages of enrollment loss were Louisiana, Idaho, North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming. States with large rural populations have begun to face these and other problems of rural schooling directly.

While the time available for the development of the plans was brief, states were able to identify some of their key issues, goals, and objectives. The outcomes are summarized in the following section. Action Plan Teams: Iowa Participants: David Wright, Iowa Department of Education Deb Synhorst, Iowa Department of Public Health Jan Rose, Governor's Alliance on Substance Abuse Jim Tyson, Iowa Department of Education Mary Sloan, Northwest Iowa Alcoholism and Drug Treatment Unit Issue: There is a lack of respect for human relationships by both youth and adults. Goal: To increase the skills and commitment for positive human relationships Objective: The representatives of the Prevention and Education Committee will develop an action plan for positive human relations. This committee will then present an action plan to the Governor's appointed Prevention and Education Council. Plans will be implemented in each department for compiling and listing resources, and for developing materials and providing technical assistance, as well as developing measurable outcomes. Each state department will then have an action plan that is a collaborative effort with all other departments.

Web-based In early 2001, we asked the State Archivists to tell us what educational programs their agencies and state historical records advisory boards (SHRABs) had in place for a variety of audiences. Please note: The information in the table below was gathered through the broad question "What is your state archives/SHRAB doing in the following education areas?" Accordingly, this is not intended as an all-encompassing summary of what the respondent states are doing, but rather, a sampling of the types of educational activities being undertaken at this time. Educational Programs for State Government Employees Summary: Of the thirty-three states included in this category, twenty-nine responded that they provide regular workshops and/or daily training for state records managers (six provide both). Only nine of the states indicated that they have manuals or retention schedules (CT, ME, MO, MI, OR, PA, SC, TX, WY), six of them are available on-line. Michigan and South Carolina have outside funding for state records education (NHPRC). Oregon is the only state providing Web-based training for state government at this time. States and Territories

Position Statement. Revised. http://www.nasn.org/positions/2005psbioterrorism.pdf (National Association of School Nurses. , Jun 2005) It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses that school nurses should be designated and recognized as first responders to mass casualty emergencies, including those resulting from bioterrorist events. School nurses should be trained in protection, detection, and treatment of victims of such events and in the command and control management techniques of the logistics of such a situation. The strategic position of well-prepared nurses within the school environment has significant potential for minimizing the effects of a bioterrorist attack in school settings and, subsequently, in the community at large 3p.
