Does state regularly conduct its own data collection? Yes. Oregon's technology plan was adopted last year and is now being revised for presentation to the state board of education this fall. The state conducted only a "ballpark" cost estimate for last year's plan; it will have a clearer estimate when the new plan is adopted. Evaluation thus far has been informal; the new plan will set the stage for a more thorough evaluation. Yes. The state conducts a district-level technology survey every fall. FINANCIAL COMMITMENT Did state fund technology in FY 98? Does state target technology funds to reduce inequity? How does state help schools update their physical infrastructure?

Enrollment is limited and admission is competitive at optometry schools, which require a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution before acceptance or at some point early in the course of professional study. The preoptometry program at Southern Oregon University is designed to prepare students for admission to the School of Optometry at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. Because requirements for other schools of optometry are similar, students may prepare for the school of their choice by slightly modifying the courses taken. Contact the Department of Biology as soon as possible for an appointment with the preoptometry advisor. Pacific University admits qualified students to their professional optometry program after they complete a minimum of 135 quarter credits, with the understanding that the bachelor's degree must be completed within two years of admission to the professional program. SOU offers a three-year course of study that prepares students for admission to the professional program at Pacific University and allows students to complete the fourth year of the bachelor's degree in biology by successfully completing the first year of the professional optometry program at Pacific University.

Extractions: Electricity Forum News PORTLAND Electricity customers in Oregon will find a small but perhaps satisfying refund on their utility bills later this year under a $15 million settlement with energy company Williams Cos., state Attorney General Hardy Myers announced. Of the total, $8 million will go to residential and business ratepayers, $6.1 million into low-income utility assistance and energy conservation programs, and $900,000 to the state for legal fees and administrative expenses. "We are reimbursing every Oregon ratepayer for damages that can be attributed to the actions of the Williams Companies during the outrageous energy price spikes of 2000-2001," Myers said at a Salem news conference. The settlement stems from a three-state investigation into price manipulation and antitrust violations during the energy crisis of 2000-01. Attorneys general in Oregon, Washington and California launched the investigation in January 2001. The Williams deal is the first of what state officials hope will be a series of settlements with energy companies involved in the unprecedented period of jumps in wholesale prices and revelations of market manipulation. Williams was a relatively small player in Oregon, but the agreement provides leverage for further deals, Myers said.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC This ERIC Digest brings together two large and timely topics: coalition building and school reform. These two subjects are not always paired. Parents, businesses, and others can work with schools in ways that do not restructure schools. And schools can restructure themselves without enlisting the help of others. But school restructuring commonly involves using the energy and ideas of people outside the schools. Indeed, many restructuring efforts work to break down the walls that separate teacher from parent, classroom from community. Other reformers turn to coalitions out of necessity, because district resources seem too meager to meet the growing challenges that public education faces. WHAT ARE THESE COALITIONS?

They all receive Lottery profits to help them prepare for the future! Prior to the current biennium (2001-03), all Lottery profits went to helping fund Oregon's K-12 schools, and to strengthening Oregon's economy. Constitutional amendments approved by Oregon voters in 1984 and 1995 earmarked Lottery profits for economic development and public education. In November 1998, 65% of Oregon voters approved another Constitutional amendment that added parks and salmon restoration to that list of allowable uses of Lottery proceeds. Since the Lottery began in 1985, over $3 billion in Lottery profits has gone to public education and economic development programs throughout Oregon. During that same time, players have won over $7.3 billion in prizes, and over $1.5 billion has been paid to Oregon businesses for services and supplies needed to operate the Lottery. The Oregon Constitution and legislative statutes govern how and where Oregon Lottery dollars are distributed, and defines what types of programs can receive Lottery funds. It also requires that the Lottery be funded entirely by its sales; no tax dollars or other public funds are used to operate the Oregon Lottery.
