For Journalists Virginia Local Governments Are In Better Fiscal Shape Than The State But May Have To Rely More On Real Estate Tax, U.Va. Study Warns January 15, 2002 Virginia's severe financial crisis means that local governments as well as the state face tough times ahead. But while state coffers overflowed during the boom of the 1990s, now it is the localities that are in better shape than state government, according to a new study by the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. “So far, local governments have weathered the current recession better than in the previous recession, when a poor housing market diminished real-property tax collections," said economist John L. Knapp. "However, in the near future, Virginia’s local governments will face difficult times, as the state reduces aid and as local tax revenues reflect the slow growth of the economy.” Knapp also warned that "if the so-called housing bubble were to burst, this would cause a sharp drop in real-property tax revenue" for local governments and add to their problems.

For Journalists DANGER IN EXURBIA U.Va. Study Reveals Outer Suburbs More Dangerous Than Cities April 30 Leaving home to go to work and other activities is more dangerous for residents of outer suburban areas than for many central city residents and for nearly all inner suburban residents, concludes a recent University of Virginia study. From Baltimore to Minneapolis to Houston, some sparsely settled outer suburban counties are the most dangerous parts of their metropolitan areas, according to a study by William H. Lucy, professor of urban and environmental planning at U.Va., and graduate research assistant Raphael Rabalais. Their findings are contrary to the conventional wisdom that cities are dangerous and outer suburbs are safe. The metropolitan areas examined in the study are: Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh for the years 1997-2000, depending on data availability. The study analyzed traffic fatalities and homicides by strangers to test the common belief that outer suburban areas with low-density housing and quasi-rural settings are safer places to live and raise children than cities and inner suburbs.

Do trails attract crime and vandalism to neighborhoods? How can trails be made as safe as possible? How about public and private liability? What about the privacy of those living near the trail? ... Information obtained from: Do trails attract crime and vandalism to neighborhoods? No. There is no evidence that trails cause an increase in crime. In fact trail development may actually decrease the risk of crime in comparison to an abandoned and undeveloped corridor. And, several studies show that people prefer living along a trail than an abandoned corridor. Typically, lawful trail users serve as eyes and ears for the community. Return to top How can trails be made as safe as possible? Trail advocates should be sure to address security concerns beginning in the planning stages and continuing through the development of a trail's management plan. The trail's design can also enhance safety, such as landscaping in a manner that limits deep shadows and hiding areas or installing emergency telephones in key areas along the trail. Various safety programs can be used once the trail opens ranging from limiting use to daylight hours to establishing volunteer trail ranger programs and from holding periodic "safety days' to instituting regular police patrols.

Coordinator: Valeta C. Paige Valeta.Paige@ccs.k12.va.us Course Sequence History and Social Science is one of the four core subjects in the school curriculum. The curriculum development is structured around the 2001 revised Standards of Learning. The Sample Scope and Sequence Guides (2002) offer suggestions of how the knowledge, skills, and processes that are identified in the Standards of Learning may be introduced to students in a logical, sequential, and meaningful manner. A recent purchase of maps, globes, and atlases was made to ensure that teachers and students in all schools are equipped with the most current resources to support their study of history and social science. Interwoven throughout the history and social science content are spiraling strands in history, geography, civics, and economics. Through the study of history, students better understand their own society, as well as others. The curriculum guides students to understand the relationships between past and present, to appreciate the heritage and contributions of other cultures, and to value ideas and the contributions of individuals as agents of change and progress. The goal of the civics strand is to develop in all students the requisite knowledge and skills for informed, responsible participation in public life. Civics instruction develops a basic understanding of politics and government and the skills of good citizenship.
