Extractions: 02:00 AM Sep. 10, 2001 PT No one likes waiting for audio and video files to download. Certainly not school teachers, who can't afford to waste precious classroom time while students stare at a half-blank computer screen, waiting for a virtual museum tour to finish loading. But if all goes as planned, K-12 students in California may soon have access to an array of rich content previously unavailable to them due to the limitations of slow bandwidth. Tech Jobs Partner Today's the Day The Digital California Project provides $3.6 million a year for a broadband network to wire all of the state's 11,000 K-12 schools. Funded by the state of California, the project is scheduled to be completed by June 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Executive Order (E.O.)13096, signed on August 6, 1998 by President Clinton, recognizes the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students, and the Federal Government's special, historic responsibility for the education of these students through its unique political and legal relationship with tribal governments. In recognition of the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students, improving educational achievement and academic progress for these students is vital to the national goal of preparing every student for responsible citizenship, continued learning, and productive employment. The Federal government is committed to improving the academic performance and reducing the dropout rate of American Indian and Alaska Native students. To help fulfill this commitment in a manner consistent with tribal traditions and cultures, the Executive Order requires Federal agencies to focus special attention on six goals: (1) Improving reading and mathematics; (2) Increasing high school completion and postsecondary attendance rates; (3) Reducing the influence of long-standing factors that impede educational performance, such as poverty and substance abuse; (4) Creating strong, safe, and drug-free school environments; (5) Improving science education; and (6) Expanding the use of educational technology. To accomplish these goals, Federal agencies are to develop a long- term comprehensive Federal Indian education policy that addresses the fragmentation of government services available to American Indian and Alaska Native students. II. School Pilot Sites E.O. 13096 requires he Departments of Education and the Interior to identify a reasonable number of schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and public schools that can serve as models for schools with American Indian and Alaska Native students.

Special attention must be given, where appropriate, to assistance in implementing comprehensive school reform demonstration programs that meet the criteria for those programs established by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998 (Pub. L. 105-78), and to providing comprehensive service delivery that connects and uses diverse Federal agency resources. III.

Extractions: Arctic Animals of Alaska The Arctic is covered with ice and snow for most of the year. Animals that live in Alaska's Arctic region must be able to survive long winters and very cold temperatures. These animals have bodies that are designed to live in this world of ice and snow. Surprisingly, many animals live in this cold, harsh climate. Let's learn about these animals of the Far North. The Task The Process You have been asked to help the park rangers at Denali National Park in Alaska. They need your help in making a guide to the many types of Alaskan animals living in the park. This guide will be included in a brochure given out to park visitors. In this activity you will learn about many Arctic animals and how their bodies provide them with special protection from the cold of an Alaskan winter. After learning about several animals, you will choose an animal to write a report about. You will have an opportunity to share your report with a small group or with your class before turning it in to your teacher for the Denali National Park guide to Arctic animals.
