Insights...on education policy and practice Number 6 December 1995 Alternative Learning Environments Insights Summary of Alternative Education Legislation in SEDL's Southwestern Region Arkansas Louisiana Oklahoma Texas Background Information* Act 830 (1991) required school districts to create alternative education programs for students facing difficulties in the regular schools. Act 597 (1995) clarified reporting requirements. In 1993, Act 1288 established the Pygmalion Commission on Nontraditional Education. The group develops proposals for alternative methods of meeting children's educational needs. The members represent many groups involved with children, ranging from local superintendents to state legislators and medical professionals. The governor appoints 14 of the 16 members and the remaining 2 are appointed by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Act 671 (1994) required suspended and expelled students to attend an alternative education program beginning in the school year 1995-96. Before the requirement went into effect, Act 102 (1995) added the provision that this requirement is only applicable for students suspended for more than 10 days or expelled. School systems may apply to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education on a school year to school year basis for a waiver from these requirements for economic reasons. Although it previously funded programs, Oklahoma passed its first alternative education legislation establishing Alternative Approaches Grants in 1992. These grants award funds to local education agencies or nonprofit organizations for programs serving at-risk students. In 1994, House Bill 2640 required a statewide district needs assessment of alternative education. The state also established Alternative Education Academy Grants for grades 6-12 programs serving high need districts. The state also funds technical assistance centers to recommend programs for funding, provide training and technical assistance, and evaluate grant-funded programs for state validation.

What will MAPS for Kids Cost? What is MAPS for Kids? News reporters are calling this campaign MAPS for Kids. It's an accurate name because it offers the same successful investment in schools that we made in downtown Oklahoma City with the MAPS projects. We've all seen the new private investments MAPS has created - new hotels, new businesses, new jobs. As big a success as MAPS has been, it could prove modest when compared with MAPS for Kids. We all know the best way to bring new and better jobs is to build new and better schools. As Mayor Kirk Humphreys has said, "We could pave the streets with gold, but until we fix the schools, we can never make Oklahoma City what we want it to be." What will MAPS for Kids Do? Create neighborhood schools that work by cutting administrative costs and letting parents take more control, allowing them to join teachers and principals in deciding what is best for their children, rather than letting central-office administrators dictate everything.

38. Expanding Educational Freedom In Oklahoma Of course, none of these alternative strategies are But oklahoma could relativelyeasily expand charter school families have more choices, schools are less http://www.ocpathink.org/Education/ExpandingEducationalFreedom.html

Expanding Educational Freedom in Oklahoma by Jay P. Greene, Ph.D. Where parents have more choices in the education of their children, students learn more. To be sure, there are other differences between the education climates in Oklahoma and Wisconsin besides the extent of education freedom. Wisconsin spends more per pupil than does Oklahoma, but Oklahoma has smaller average classes. Wisconsin generally has wealthier families and has roughly a similar minority population to that found in Oklahoma. To achieve comparable improvements in student performance by increasing school expenditures, our statistical model suggests that Oklahoma would have to increase per pupil spending by about $9,000 for a total expense per student of more than $14,000. Or class size would have to be reduced by about 10 students, giving the state an average of 5 students per teacher, to produce an improvement comparable to what could be accomplished simply by expanding education freedom. If the state could somehow increase the average household income by more than $18,000 it could also achieve similar improvements in student achievement as those that we estimate could be produced by expanding educational choice. Of course, none of these alternative strategies are practical. The state is unlikely to be able to nearly triple education spending, reduce class size by two-thirds, or increase household income by about two-thirds. But Oklahoma could relatively easily expand charter school options or initiate a pilot voucher program. The main obstacles to these reforms are political, not financial.

Open Their Eyes That They May See by Regna Lee Wood High School Data High school graduation rates dropped from 79 percent in 1991 to 73 percent in 1998. High school dropout rates increased from 13 percent in 1991 to 22 percent in 1998. Higher Ed Data Remedial Education Enrollment The numbers and percentages of all public college freshmen (including third- and fourth-semester students without credits necessary for sophomore classification) taking mandatory remedial math, English, science, and reading courses have soared from 16,000 in 1991 to 35,000 in 1998. Remedial Education Expenses State offices no longer report costs for salaries of college remediation teachers or for Special Education, Title I, and Alternative Education remedial instruction in public schools. The Regents for Higher Education office has never reported added expenses for extra semesters required if freshmen take no-credit courses. Nor do they mention disproportionate numbers of defaults on college loans made to remediation students. Statewide Test Data In 1991, 7th grade ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) reading and composite scores were both 58; in 1998 the same 7th grade ITBS scores had dropped to 57.

NLThomas Watts Schools Receive CNO's Learn and Serve Grant Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma News Tuesday, February 22, 2000 TAHLEQUAH - Watts Public Schools announced they received two grants totaling $9,000. Watts received a $5,000 grant from the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma's Learn and Serve Program, which works to build an ethic of service among students by making service an integral part of their education and life experiences. In doing so, these programs enable students to place their studies into context, improve their sense of civic responsibility and help meet educational, public safety, environmental and other human needs in their community. The Watts school program consists of several classes and organizations proposing a wide range of activities. The alternative education students will address health and safety issues by presenting programs to the student body and distributing safety equipment to identified recipients. The high school math classes, under the guidance of math instructor Lisa Weaver, will generate math kits that will be used by students, parents and teachers. Science teacher Phyllis Hagan and the botany class, along with the ATAE classes will continue to build a walking trail. Winona Gray's history classes propose to teach geography skills to the fifth-grade classes. The junior high reading classes will make Big Books for the Pre-K through first-grade classes with the help of their teacher, Kay Fronterhouse.
