Guest Book In this issue: New Jersey Education Association Stands Up for Comprehensive Sexuality Education The New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) has canceled three sexuality education workshops that were scheduled for its annual convention in Atlantic City in November after learning that the leaders of the sessions support abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. "When we realized their views were contrary to our policy, we felt we had to un-invite them," said Karen Joseph, NJEA spokesperson. "We have an obligation to provide our members with a wide array of information and as many tools as we can. We have replaced the abstinence-only presentations with seminars that we believe will give our members more tools that they can use in their classrooms. This is the more educationally sound approach." The union supports comprehensive sexuality education, which includes information about contraceptives as well as abstinence. The canceled sessions will be replaced by two workshops led by staff members of the Network for Family Life Education at Rutgers University. The group trains teachers in comprehensive sexuality education.

Extractions: New Jersey's Office of Telecommunications and Information Systems was founded by executive order in 1984 to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the telecommunications and information technology used in state government. The state's telecommunications connections are provided by the Garden State Network, a leased system. New Jersey is relying on private industry to build its hub on the information highway. Although New Jersey has long-standing ties with the telecommunications industry, its infrastructure and use of telecommunications applications for government and education providers appear minimal at this time. A request for proposal was issued in August 1995 for distance learning, video teleconferencing equipment, and support services. Many New Jersey counties, towns, and cities have developed websites to inform users about events in their areas and to attract business. The Department of Insurance has posted an extensive set of information about its office, filing claims, and tips on buying health and life insurance. The Department of Human Services uses the Garden State Network to support its Income Eligibility and Verification System.
Extractions: Microsoft Helps New Jersey Web Site Recruit Volunteers for Community Service New Brunswick, N.J. - June 19, 2000 Rutgers professor Dr. Michael Shafer calculates that if every person in New Jersey over the age of 13 were to pledge just one hour of volunteer time per year, nonprofit organizations statewide would benefit from 5 million hours of community service annually. That was the theory behind Shafer's "Give an Hour" campaign, which last spring helped launch njserves.org, a Web-based clearinghouse for nonprofit organizations in New Jersey that Shafer and his students developed under the auspices of Rutgers University's Citizenship and Service Education (CASE) program. This unique Web portal contains a database of 40,000 civic-sector organizations and, thanks to the "Give an Hour" campaign, the names of 10,000 individuals who are interested in community service. "Our idea is to provide an essential community service at no cost to the users, and at no cost to the taxpayers and citizens of New Jersey," Shafer said. "Assistance comes from corporations like Microsoft that want to support the community."

Today, two stark realities seriously threaten that well-being." First, too many families have too little income to meet even their most basic needs. Second, families traumatized by personal crises and seeking relief from breakup too often meet with a daunting system of disjointed services that rarely prevents children and parents from being wrenched apart."
