Extractions: Raytown Quality Schools R aytown Quality Schools are about education in every sense of the word. Academically and socially, the schools challenge students to live up to the promise of their expectations and provide the programs they need to succeed. The Raytown District has a tradition of community support. Residents have come to expect the exceptional in student and teacher performance, as well as the wide range of multiple academic programs and extra curricular activities serving all children. In November of 2000, the patrons passed a $47 million bond issue to install ground source energy so that all schools would be air conditioned and heated at a minimum cost, and to ensure state-of-the-art technology for all students. The Missouri State Board of Education and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Raytown Quality Schools the states highest accreditation Accredited with Distinction. Eighty percent of the 2002 graduates indicated they were going to college or on to business/technical schools. The schools alumni are attending, in addition to the state schools in Missouri, include Boston College, Harvard University, Chicago University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Extractions: The Department of Energy and the Urban Consortium Energy Task Force have issued a report that addresses electric utility restructuring issues of concern to local governments, such as the impact competitive forces can have on tax-based revenue streams. The report's four sections cover aggregation of customers under traditional franchise authority; a step-by-step approach for evaluating franchise powers; methods for soliciting alternative power suppliers; and the obstacles and benefits to using a community franchise to aggregate power customers. The report, "Community Franchise Study, An Option for Local Governments Facing the Challenge of Electric Industry Restructuring," reminds officials that local governments are important stakeholders and have significant power and authority to help move the restructuring process forward in a manner to benefit their customers. According to the report, "elected officials, planners and citizens need to develop a thorough understanding of the issues in order to participate in discussions in their states, and to position their communities for whatever markets might be created."

Extractions: During this two year project Western MassCOSH worked initially with the Cosmetology Department Roger L. Putnam Vocational School in Springfield to incorporate awareness and toxics use reduction training into the current curriculum for hair and nail care. Teachers and students were trained in identifying chemical hazards, choosing less toxic alternatives, and incorporating pollution prevention practices into daily practices. Building on the 1999-2000 Healthy Hair Campaign TURN project in Boston, this project continued to raise awareness about toxic chemicals in hair dyes, hair relaxers, permanents, hairsprays, bleaches, disinfectants, nail sculpting and manicuring products. End products consisted of a curriculum, reference materials, and a self-inspection checklist. The second year of this project focused refining and expanding the training program to three additional schools and train additional Western MassCOSH staff. The goal was to raise awareness among cosmetology teachers and students, vocational safety and health staff, cosmetology professionals, and the Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health's staff of the hazards associated with hair and nail care and to provide tools to reduce those hazards. Western MassCOSH conducted a "train-the-trainer" program at three Vocational Cosmetology Departments. The training materials were presented at four statewide trainings of Health Officers and at the annual Vocational School Conference. They will also be used in the future to raise awareness among the Board of Cosmetology.

Extractions: An Overview Previous section Next section Contents Pathways ... home page by Nancy Fulford, NCREL Nancy Fulford is a program associate with NCREL's Evaluation and Policy Information Center (EPIC). She is the editor of NCREL's Policy Briefs and has been studying charter schools since 1991. Strong supporters of charter schools include parents who have been given the opportunity to choose schools that they hope will benefit their children in specific ways. Indeed, just the opportunity to choose and to be involved in the school in a meaningful way is very important to these parents (parent interviews, Spring 1997). But parent satisfaction does not necessarily mean that children are receiving a better education in charter schools.(A discussion of the impact or likely impact of charters on school reform is included later in this publication.) What do researchers say about charter schools? At this stage, there have not been a significant number of substantive research studies finding increased student performance in charter schools. However, the experts agree that charter schools are a force to be reckoned with and are not likely to go away soon (Howard Fuller interview, February 6, 1997). What Are Charter Schools?

Field of Dreams: Red Deer kids pose at future school site. Edmonton Christian Schools and Red Deer Christian School in Alberta have become part of the public school system in a move that drastically reduces the cost to parents and yet allows the schools to maintain their identity. Alberta has been providing nonpublic schools with a stipend equal to 60 percent of the per-student allotment that public schools receive from the province. The new Alberta School Act allows public school districts to set up alternative schools based on educational philosophies, culture, language, subjects, or religions. The Christian schools in Edmonton and Red Deer negotiated with their public school boards to become alternative schools. The Christian schools have significant input into how the public school superintendent chooses their principals, who in turn hire the teachers. And the goals of the Christian schools remain in force. "Our vision statement is enshrined in our agreement with the public school system," says John E. Hull, chair of the board of Edmonton Christian Schools.

Extractions: Alternative Schools Albany Free School The Free School is a process which must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The kids themselves make the choice to join us, after a week's visit (we do not leave that decision to parents alone) and since the changes they may want and need to make occur only over time and the space to discover for themselves who they really are, we ask parents for a commitment to allow their children to stay in the school for at least a year, so that the value we have for them can be fully realized. Alpine Valley School - Based on the Sudbury Valley School (see below), Alpine Valley is a place dedicated to freedom, respect and the joy of learning. Here, learning occurs as that magical state of being fully engaged and freely exploring your interests, gifts and talents. True freedom and responsibility emerge from trust and respect. Every student is a part of all school decisions and stands on equal footing with the staff and each other. Australian Correspondance School - "Established in 1979, ACS has educated thousands of full and part-time students, many of whom have gone onto successful employment, both in industry or in their own businesses. Others have used their courses to develop a hobby, or simply broaden their general education. We currently have over 2500 students enrolled from Australia and around the world."
