MCOECN, OECN, and DA Sites - a critical link to technology in Ohio schools In 1979, the Ohio Department of Education (or Ohio State Assembly) established the Ohio Education Computer Network to provide comprehensive educational computer services to Ohio's schools. To provide best value, customized technology services to the districts, 23 Data Acquisition Sites (DA Sites) were formed to serve districts on a regional basis. In an effort to ensure consistency among the 23 DA Sites, a "board of directors" was formed to oversee all 23 of the DA Sites. The "board of directors" is known today as the Management Council of the Ohio Education Computer Network (MCOECN). OECN's DA Sites have been a valued resource in Ohio school districts for more than two decades. Ohio school districts rely on their DA Sites to provide core services including: -Staff Payroll Systems -Ohio Career Information System -Equipment Inventory System -Student Fees -School Accounting Systems -Education Management Information System (EMIS) -Electronic Mail (Email) -Special Education Child Information Management System -Scheduling -Discipline Tracking In addition, DA Sites provide a variety of ancillary services, based on funding and goals established by the districts' local "governing boards." Governing boards often include Superintendents, Treasurers and other School Board members.

Shrinking High Schools By George M. Kacan and Michael K. Schipp The typical American high school is a crowded place. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Education indicate that more than 70 percent of high school students attend schools with enrollments of more than 1,000, and half attend schools with more than 1,500 students. In many communities, enrollments of more than 2,500 or 3,000 are not uncommon, and some urban areas see enrollments as high as 5,000. Rural areas, where many communities have consolidated facilities, also have seen school populations grow. Research shows, however, that students perform better in smaller schools. So, how do districts reconcile the desire for smaller schools with the financial reality that larger facilities are more economical? If approached carefully, constructing large high schools, as well as modernizing large facilities, can allow school districts to achieve smaller learning communities. This can be achieved through the house concept, which is becoming more prevalent in secondary school design, and through incorporating the school-within-a-school concept to varying degrees. Getting small Research over the past decade has supported the national emphasis on school downsizing. The federal government says smaller schools and more intimate learning communities lead to better attendance, lower dropout rates, fewer discipline problems and better academic performance. It also has been shown that in smaller schools, students are more active in extracurricular activities and teacher morale is higher. Teachers tend to collaborate more with their colleagues and develop closer, more supportive relationships with their students.

State Status Reports ESA Task Force February 8, 1999 New Leadership ESA members reported changes in their states (some expected, some not) as a result of recent elections. Illinois has a new governor, Republican George Ryan, who has promised to designate 51 percent of general revenue funds for education and work force readiness. Minnesota's surprise winner in the governor's race is Jesse Ventura, a Reform party candidate. Governor Ventura has put together a $33 billion budget that includes 5.3 percent for education, the highest funding since 1992. Iowa and Ohio have also elected new governors. Iowa's Thomas Vilsack is a Democrat; Ohio's Bob Taft, a Republican. Both Illinois and Ohio have new state superintendents. Max McGee is Illinois's first state superintendent coming directly from the local superintendency. McGee wants to move forward with the standards implementation and quality assurance and stop measuring schools according to a single state assessment figure and then comparing them across state by the mean score. Ohio's new state superintendent, Susan Zelman, has never been a superintendent or a building principal. She has, however, worked extensively with legislators and has both university and state department background. Professional Standards Indiana is halfway through the first year of a professional standards pilot. A teacher coming out of school now holds a provisional license for the first two years. After that, the teacher's portfolio and performance will be evaluated by local corporations that will make recommendations for a permanent teaching license. Another change taking place is that teachers can no longer get their teaching license renewed in any subject area; they have to take continued advanced study in one topic area. In three years, this will be a statewide requirement.

Director's CV Purpose: The Institute operates within three basic objectives: 1. to initiate and seek funding for research, training, development, production or other opportunities which will significantly and meaningfully involve faculty and students of the School in the mastery of telecommunications knowledge and skills; 2. to provide administrative and clerical support in the implementation of research, production, training, or development projects involving School faculty and students, and 3. to promote faculty and student involvement in research, scholarship and creative production and to publicize their activities. History: Initiated in the 1960s as the Broadcast Research Center, the Institute assumed a new identity and mission when the School changed its name from Radio-Television to Telecommunications in 1983. Today, the School of Telecommunications is one of the top academic programs of its type in the United States, with strengths in international communication, critical/cultural studies, media management, policy and regulation, and technology and its effects. The research and development activities of ITS are intended to support and enhance the School's multiple missions of teaching, research and service.

Student Speeches Elizabeth Bonham 7th grade, Bay Village Middle School What is a Quality Education? A quality education is like a tree, always growing, cultivating new trees and strengthening itself. The roots are the teachers, the educators. They give strength and support to the tree and feed the leaves. The trunk is the school facilities, a strong, solid basis that supports the tree. Finally, the leaves are the students, the educated. They are fed and nurtured by every part of the tree, from the soil to the roots to the trunk through the branches. The leaves fall off the tree in the end, making way for new leaves, and falling to fertilize seeds which will grow into whole new trees. Each part of the tree is vital; each part would not function without all of the others. Click here for the full essay.
