Extractions: Last updated October 2000 In 1997, as part of a SHEEO initiative on state strategies to support student transitions—K-16, SHEEO conducted a survey asking states to identify initiatives sponsored by their agencies that support early outreach and preparation for college. That information was reported in a 1998 publication, Statewide College Admissions, Student Preparation and Remediation Policies and Programs. To update state initiatives, in May 2000, SHEEO conducted an e-mail survey asking state higher education agencies to respond to the following questions: Does your agency sponsor a formal effort to link K-12 and postsecondary education (K-16 or related initiative)? What is the name of the initiative and provide a brief description. When did the initiative begin? If information on the state initiative is available on a website, provide the specific website address. The following is a summary of responses.

Extractions: Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department - Support CITY HOME COUNTY HOME SITE MAP STAFF ... County Home Leon County, originally part of Escambia County and later a part of Gadsden County, was created by the Territorial Legislature in 1824. Named for Ponce De Leon, Leon County was one of the most populous and prosperous counties in ante-bellum Florida. Tallahassee, named for the "old fields" that it once encompassed, earned the title early in the 16th century from the Apalachee Indians who inhabited the area. Legend says that the final spelling was chosen by Octavia Walton, daughter of the territorial governor of Florida. Today, Tallahassee exemplifies not only the influence of the Indian, but also that of the Spanish, French and English who occupied the area in succession. The City of Tallahassee, the county seat and only incorporated city in Leon County, was established in 1825, following a decision by the legislature to locate the capital of the new Florida Territory midway between the population centers of St. Augustine and Pensacola.
