Extractions: THE BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL LANDS AND FUNDS In the Enabling Act of Congress passed April 19, 1864, pursuant to which Nebraska became a State on March 1, 1867, and as a condition of statehood, the federal government granted generally every section 16 and 36 in each township in Trust for the support of Nebraska's common (K-12 public) schools. The Trust nature, conditions and obligations of this grant are reflected in Article VII, Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Nebraska Constitution and have been recited in numerous decisions of the Nebraska Supreme Court including, for example, State ex rel. Ebke v. Board of Educational Lands and Funds, 154 Neb. 244 (l95l). Nearly 2.9 million acres have been acquired in Trust for the support of Nebraska's K-12 public schools and about 1.45 million of these acres have been sold to private sector owners. Approximately 85% of the deeded acres were conveyed pursuant to cash sales, or contractual purchase rights vested in the buyers, prior to 1900 and several decades before the Board of Educational Lands and Funds came into existence. In accordance with Article VII, Sections 7 and 8 of the Nebraska Constitution, the proceeds from all sales comprise part of the permanent school trust fund and all school trust funds are invested exclusively by the Nebraska Investment Council. The Board of Educational Lands and Funds is now the Constitutionally established Trustee of Nebraska's School Trust Lands. The Board consists of five members, four from Nebraska's congressional districts as they existed on January 1, 1961, and one at large, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Legislature to rotating five year terms. Once appointed to the Board, its members are independent Trustees who manage the Board's activities and conduct its business operations in a totally non-partisan and non-political manner. The Board is governed entirely by trust law and its Trustee members are legally bound to fulfill exclusively the Trust duties of maximizing the income and preserving the assets of the School Trust for the benefit of the State and its citizens.
Distance K-12: Baker's Guide To Christian Distance Education Programs The following are some k12 distance programs K12 works with partner schoolsin Colorado University of nebraska-Lincoln Independent Study High School http://www.gospelcom.net/bakersguide/k12.php
Extractions: For parents, particularly homeschoolers, distance education provides the opportunity to supplement a child's learning experience with a subject which might be out of the normal realm of expertise. For instance, if your daughter wants to take trigonometry but math was never your strong point, she could enroll in a distance learning math class. You could go beyond course supplements and use a distance program as your child's complete educational framework. Furthermore, since distance classes can either be high-tech independent studies taken whenever is convenient or a group class with a fixed schedule, you can choose which fits with your circumstances and your child's learning style. Accreditation is a different animal on the K-12 level than on the higher education one. Because of the varied state regulations concerning homeschooling (or any form of non-traditional learning) accreditation isn't critical as with colleges and universities. Furthermore, most of the regionals aren't particularly equipped to handle the uniquenesses of distance primary and secondary schools. To address this issue, the regional accrediting agencies have created a new accrediting agency called The Commission on International and Trans-regional Accreditation (CITA). (You can find a list of CITA and regionally accredited K-12 schools by searching the

The 3-year NPQTE project is directed at achieving four primary goals: NPQTE Activities: Revise teacher preparation program standards to include common exit requirements for new graduates in the areas of teaching knowledge and skill as well as subject matter content. Implement written student assessments for all levels of teaching knowledge and skill and for selected content areas. Teacher education programs will create formal processes for program revision which include teacher education faculty, arts and science faculty, and K-12 schools so that the revised programs will be based on the new standards.

"This technology, provided by Qwest and others, is a big boost to rural Nebraska and will tie communities together by offering educational opportunities to all learners." Under the contract, Qwest, together with other communications carriers, will provide high-speed access that will support interactive video and audio transmissions, as well as Internet access, thereby enabling the delivery of distance-learning educational initiatives to CDLEC members.
