Extractions: Resources ... Obey-Porter Legislation Comprehensive school reform focuses on the reorganization and revitalization of the entire school. It uses well-researched and well-documented models for schoolwide change. In 1997, the U.S. Congress passed legislation to fund schools in the adoption of a successful comprehensive school reform model. The bi-partisan legislation, sponsored by Congressmen David Obey (D-WI) and John Porter (R-IL), is based on the belief that comprehensive school reform programs are an effective way to achieve academic success for all students. Comprehensive Center-Region VI (CC-VI, Wisconsin Center for Education Research) Web site: http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/ccvi/ The CC-VI Web site is a rich resource for pertinent information on school reform. This interactive Web environment provides current newsletter articles, monthly issues of Reform Talk, a resource library, a roadmap to enable networking by CSRD schools, a calendar of services and updates on educational and legal issues.

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: ITD Strategic Business Plan (844 kb pdf document) Established as a department in 1999, ITD's history dates from 1969 when it was first created as the Central Data Processing Division with the Office of Management and Budget. The division set up an electronic data processing center used by all state agencies except the institutions of higher education, Job Service, and the office of the Adjutant General. The Higher Education Computer Network (HECN) was funded after a 1969-70 interim legislative study. In 1981 the director of CDP was directed to supervise all executive branch agency data processing activities and to approve data processing equipment acquisitions. The division was renamed the Information Services Division in 1989. Job Service and the Adjutant General were brought under the division's jurisdiction in 1997. At this time, the division was required to prepare guidelines for agency information technology plans, develop a statewide plan based on those plans, develop statewide information technology policies, standards, and guidelines, coordinate services with political subdivisions and systems and services with higher education, and report non-compliance to the legislature. The Information Technology Department (ITD) is responsible for all wide area network services planning, selection, and implementation for all state agencies, including institutions under the control of the State Board of Higher Education, counties, cities, and school districts. ITD is also responsible for computer support services, software development, statewide communications services, standards for providing information to other state agencies and the public through the internet, technology planning, process redesign and quality assurance.
