Extractions: Home Bowling with Tocqueville Civic Engagement and Social Capital By Everett Carll Ladd Posted: September 15, 1998 SPEECHES Bradley Lecture (Washington) Publication Date: September 15, 1998 If some public pleasure is concerned, an association is formed to give more splendor and regularity to the entertainment. Societies are formed to resist evils that are exclusively of a moral nature, as to diminish the vice of intemperance. In the United States associations are established to promote the public safety, commerce, industry, morality, and religion. . . .The Americans make associations to give entertainment's, to found seminaries, to build ins, to construct churches, to diffuse books, to send missionaries to the antipodes; in the manner they found hospital, prisons, and schools. . . .There is no end which the human will despairs of attaining through the combined power of individuals united into a society. . . .

Extractions: e-mail this story to a friend write a letter to the editor (oped@csps.com) In your June 4 editorial "Rethinking Parent-Teacher Ties," you questioned the relevance of PTA to parents and children, suggested that the National PTA's request for a $1 dues increase was too much, and reported that many parents and PTAs are considering converting to PTOs (parent-teacher-organizations). National PTA has been advocating for the health, welfare, and education of all of America's children for more than 100 years. PTA lobbyists in our nation's capital work closely with elected officials to develop and support legislation to improve the lives of children. My state PTA organization is also a major force in passing effective legislation. Recent laws include a graduated drivers license for teens, stricter traffic penalties in school zones, and pesticide-use notification to schools and communities. Our full-time lobbyist is currently working very hard to help us pass anti-bullying legislation. People looking toward PTOs and away from PTA often do not understand the global need to advocatefor children beyond their communities, or realize that for a small fee ($7 to $10 in our state) each year, they can help affect positive change for children through PTA's parent-involvement and legislative programs. That's not too much to ask, when you consider that the future of our nation will soon be in their hands.

Extractions: var rootpath = '../../'; nav('virtualvillage') Published for The Teaneck Housing Center by The Teaneck News May 18,1983 A Grass Roots Town By Councilman Frank Hall When visitors come to Teaneck, they are generally impressed by a number of physical features. They see beautiful homes some contemporary, some Tudor, a few Pre-revolutionary colonials, and many other types. They see our broad "Main Street" called Cedar Lane, with its attractive shops and absence of overhead wires. They see our high school up on the hill, the two junior highs, and the eight elementary schools. If they take the time to drive around town, they see our 19 municipal parks, our Richard Rodda Teaneck Recreation Center, our beautiful, recently remodeled library, and our entire municipal complex on Paul Volker Green. They'll see our university, Fairleigh Dickinson, our hospital Holy Name,. and our most recent addition Glenpointe with its Loew's Hotel, office building, atrium, and hundreds of townhouses. All this and much more in an area of about 7 1/2 square miles located just four miles from New York City. But beautiful physical features are not unique to Teaneck. They can be found scattered throughout Bergen County. What really makes Teaneck unique is its people, its grass roots.

Extractions: Summer 95 Inside this Issue School-Based Health Care Assembly Breaks New Ground M ore than 500 people from around the country gathered June 23-25 to establish a national movement to support improved health services for children through school-based health care. The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments.

Extractions: Newsbytes for 2001-02 Index: Updated: 7-7-2002 story The implementation of New York State's new graduation requirements has been an enormous challenge for the thousands of immigrant students who are English Language Learners (ELLs) in New York City's public high schools. The current outcomes for these students as a direct result of these new requirements are extremely disturbing; more ELL children are now dropping out than are graduating high school. Under the new graduation standards, ELLs are required to pass the English Language Arts (ELA) Regents an exam designed for native-born English speaking children who have been learning English language arts since elementary school. Advocates, parents and students, and teachers and school administrators raised concerns that the new policy, without major improvements in the education provided to ELLs, would result in higher dropout rates.

Extractions: Chapter 9 - Resources Finding the resources to finance, maintain, and upgrade equipment, and to provide teacher training and technical support is universally one of the biggest hurdles that schools face when it comes to technology implementation. For many, the funds are simply unavailable via the conventional means of local tax-based school financing. Despite this fact, we found schools and districts in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the nation that have somehow managed to establish exemplary technology programs. How did they do it? As an additional component of this chapter, we provide some information on the use of various information resources available through the Federal government. Not only is money essential for acquiring technology but so is good information about the availability of Federal programs and information sources. Questionnaire Data: Awareness, Use and Helpfulness of Resources In this area, we identified a list of nine very general approaches to expanding the resource base available to schools involved in implementing technology. It included various sources of resources (e.g., private versus public), various types of resources (e.g., money versus in-kind), and different types of relationships with the resource providers.

Extractions: CHAPTER NINE RESOURCES Finding the resources to finance, maintain, and upgrade equipment, and to provide teacher training and technical support is universally one of the biggest hurdles that schools face when it comes to technology implementation. For many, the funds are simply unavailable via the conventional means of local tax-based school financing. Despite this fact, we found schools and districts in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the nation that have somehow managed to establish exemplary technology programs. How did they do it? In a word, they did everything . While we collected questionnaire information on a number of typical sources of funds (see below), schools provided literally dozens of interesting examples of how to approach fundraising. Some fostered and rewarded grantsmanship among their faculty; others developed alliances with community groups; and still others were able to steer traditional educational funding vehicles into more direct support of technology. Many schools identified non-monetary in-kind resources such as volunteers, bartering relationships, and corporate contributions of hardware and software. The best schools (from a resource acquisition perspective) had fairly elaborate strategies and tactics that combined all of these elements. One of the areas we focused particular attention on was how schools make effective use of Federal or state technology grant programs. This is an area where there is much opportunity for creative and effective public policy, as well as for some dreadful mistakes.

Williams or a caring adult from one of the 41 participating volunteer organizations. Festivities continued with a spaghetti supper and a student production of "Green Eggs to Hamlet Rap." (1998) Senator Charles Robb cut a ribbon at the new Mt. Vernon Elementary School in Alexandria and then read to classes of students at the school. A reading night was held at Maury Elementary featuring a presentation of "the Star-Bellied Sneeches," green eggs and ham, creating bookmarks and a Dr. Seuss mural, story readings and a book raffle. (1999) U.S. Senator Charles Robb cut the ribbon opening the Dr. Seuss Reading Room at Alexandria's Mount Vernon Elementary School on March 2 and then became the room's first guest reader. Parents and volunteers read with students in classes and small groups. The kindergarten breakfast menu offered green eggs and ham. Reading competitions lead to eight classes being chosen to ring the school bell and be shown on television. A March 13 celebration will provide bells, certificates and bookmarks for children who reach their reading goals. (2000)
