Extractions: Education in Oklahoma City is very different from the time when parents' only option was to send their child to the school assigned through an attendance plan. Today, Oklahoma City Public Schools offers parents a choice in the style of education their child receives. Who better to decide a child's educational path than the people who know the child best. Parents can choose the school closest to their home, or they can choose a school that uses an emphasis or theme to excite children's interest in school. They can also choose a school where parents and community leaders map the students' curriculum and activities. Each of these choices gives students a unique educational experience and the opportunity to succeed. Attendance Zone Schools are comprised of students who reside in a particular area and these schools are typically the closest to a student's home. The quality education is based on the traditional model, with a focus on core subjects and giving the students a well-rounded education. There are 74 Attendance Zone Schools around the district.

W A S H I N G T O N, June 16 WASHINGTON (AP) One in six parents of disabled children has considered suing or has threatened to sue the child's school district to get services, a poll shows. The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers. "They're thinking about their own child," Duffett said. "They're not thinking about all the other things that have to be weighed."

Extractions: The purpose of the Star Schools Program is to provide improved instruction in mathematics, science, and foreign languages as well as literacy and vocational education through the establishment of telecommunications partnerships. The Department has awarded $80 million to telecommunications partnerships since the Program was authorized in 1988. The Program has provided services to more than 5,000 schools in 48 states, the District of Columbia, and several territories. Approximately 200,000 students and 30,000 teachers have participated in the instructional and staff development activities, respectively, produced under the Star Schools Program. However, because programming is also distributed via cable and other services for which no formal registration is made, the actual number of individuals who benefited from this program is difficult to enumerate. The first round of two-year projects focused primarily on the delivery of instructional programming and teacher pre-service and inservice activities via satellite and microcomputer. The majority of the schools that participated in the first four projects served students and teachers located in rural, isolated areas including Indian reservations and schools in the South. Under the second cycle of two-year projects, services tended to focus on multi-media applications for students in grades five through eight and students in urban schools. In addition, programming for teachers, administrators, parents, community members, and policymakers was expanded.
