Extractions: April 8, 2002 News Release NEA Report Shows Teacher Salaries Not Keeping Pace With Education Investments Washington, D.C. - America's teachers did not reap the rewards of increased investment in public education during the 1990s, according to a report released today by the National Education Association (NEA), the nation's largest professional employee organization. To read the full report, visit http://www.nea.org/edstats/images/02rankings.pdf Teachers' salaries increased by 3 percent during the decade spanning from 1991-2001 when adjusted for inflation. This increase works out to an average annual rate of 0.3 percent a year, according to NEA's report Rankings and Estimates 2000-2001 . During this same period, school revenue receipts, total expenditures, and per-pupil expenditures increased significantly. "As more money was invested in public education, teacher salaries remained stagnant - all while the U.S. was in a time of economic expansion," NEA President Bob Chase said. "If we, as a nation, are serious about student achievement, we need to make sure we can attract and retain high-quality teachers. Nothing has a more profound effect on a child's achievement than the quality of his or her teacher, and it's hard to convince someone to stay in the classroom when the salary is so low."

Extractions: TSSA Draft (v4.0) The Collaborative for Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA Collaborative) has facilitated the development of a national consensus on what P-12 administrators should know and be able to do to optimize the effective use of technology. This consensus is presented by the Collaborative (November 2001) as Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA). The Collaborative believes that comprehensive implementation of technology is, in itself, large-scale systemic reform. Leadership plays a key role in successful school reform. The CollaborativeÕs standards, therefore, focus on the role of leadership in enhancing learning and school operations through the use of technology. These standards are indicators of effective leadership for technology in schools. They define neither the minimum nor maximum level of knowledge and skills required of a leader, and are neither a comprehensive list nor a guaranteed recipe for effective technology leadership. Rather, these standards are a national consensus among educational stakeholders of what best indicates accomplished school leadership for comprehensive and effective use of technology in schools. The standards challenge almost every school administrator in some areas, yet each individual standard is attainable by the professional education leader. Although a national consensus, in no way should these standards inhibit new development, innovation, or progress for schools or for school leadership.

Extractions: to Mississippi Public Schools Oxford, MS - August 13, 2002 - The North Mississippi Education Consortium (NMEC) will lead a pilot program designed to provide Free and Open-Source software to Mississippi's public school system. The program, called "Freedom to Learn," is part of a Ph.D.-level study exploring alternative technologies and methods of reducing costs while increasing efficiency and student productivity within public school systems. The program will be hosted at the University of Mississippi's School of Education in Oxford, Mississippi. Freedom to Learn was conceived and initiated by the Open Source Software Institute (http://www.oss-institute.org) a (Mississippi-based) non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the development and implementation of open source software within government agencies and academic entities. "The goal of this program is to harness the vast resources available through Free and Open-Source software and apply these resources to good use in Mississippi's public school system," said Jim Chambless, Dean of the School of Education at the University of Mississippi. "This program will allow us to explore opportunities in cutting edge technologies that can save our public schools money while freeing funds to improve the computer systems being used by students and teachers."
