Full Report (PDF) Appendix A.Survey Methodology Fast Response Survey System Sample Selection Information from the pilot study helped guide the allocation of the total sample to the two major categories of districts: districts that reported alternative schools in the CCD and those that did not report alternative schools in the CCD. Within each category, the samples were further allocated to district size strata (less than 2,500, 2,500 to 9,999, 10,000 or more) in rough proportion to the aggregate square root of the enrollment in the stratum. The sampling frame was also ordered by metropolitan status (urban, suburban, rural) and region (Northeast, Southeast, Central, West) to induce additional implicit stratification. Within each primary stratum, districts were selected systematically and with equal probabilities. The sampling frame constructed consisted of 14,619 regular public school districts during the 1998–99 school year. After the stratum sample sizes were determined, a final sample of 1,609 districts was systematically selected from the sorted file using independent random starts. The 50 states and the District of Columbia were included in the sample, while school districts in the outlying U.S. territories were excluded. Districts are of three types: unified, secondary, and elementary. Unified districts serve students across all grade levels and comprised 83 percent of the total sample (table A-1). Secondary districts comprised 2 percent, and elementary districts (i.e., serving grades no higher than grade 8) comprised 15 percent of the sample.

Journal of American Indian Education Volume 13 Number 2 May 1974 AN ALTERNATIVE TO FAILURE Paul Fitzgerald and Thomas Davis Paul Fitzgerald is Assistant Professor of Education at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh. Thomas Davis is Curriculum Specialist and Program Designer for the Menominee County Community School at Keshana, Wisconsin. EDUCATIONAL problems facing Indian students nationwide would seem insurmountable except for community schools like the Menominee County Community School at Keshena, Wisconsin. At the time of the school's founding, the chances that it would survive were minimal, and there was almost no chance that it would help provide a pattern for revolutionizing Indian education. Too many free or alternative schools had started up only to die within the first year of operation in the past. But committee members petitioned Melvin Laird, then Secretary of Defense, for release from the Army of one of three certified Menominee teachers in the country (he was released a little more than a month after filing of the petition), and then opened the school with one teacher and several ACTION volunteers from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus. Seven students showed up for the first day of classes. From that modest beginning, however, the school mushroomed in importance. Only a month after its founding, it helped with the formation of the Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards in Denver, Colorado, and set out to develop an educational philosophy tailored to Indian problems rather than to white conceptions of Indian problems.

Reasons vary, but most universities say they are going online to reach a larger number of students. This means more sleep and for some, a better learning experience. At some schools, entire departments have moved online. The universities of Iowa State, Iowa and Northern Iowa have joined forces to save a number of foreign language departments. The three schools plan to teach Eastern European language via Internet-based videoconferencing. Whether or not going online is beneficial to students is yet unknown. Studies concerning online education and their benefits have yielded mixed results.

January 1999 1998-2000 Policy Paper: Alternative Education Opportunities News At the Capitol Collective bargaining Press room ... ONLINE SERVICES Background: As an organization of educators, the Wisconsin Education Association Council recognizes that more and more of today's students want to complete their high school education but have extraordinary needs. Many of these needs can be addressed through alternative education programs and truancy abatement efforts. Chapter 115.28 (7) (e) of the state statutes defines an alternative education program as an instructional program approved by the school board that utilizes successful alternative or adaptive school structures and teaching techniques, and is incorporated into existing, traditional classrooms or regularly scheduled curricular programs, or is offered in place of regularly scheduled curricular programs. "Alternative educational program" does not include a private school or a home-based private educational program. The state superintendent of public instruction is charged with the development of administrative rules establishing requirements for licensure of alternative education program teachers. Funding of alternative education programs is currently the responsibility of the local school district in which a program is established.
