NEA: News Release - Rankings & Estimates Using information provided by state education agencies and analyzed by 4. connecticut.10,825. teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals http://www.nea.org/newsreleases/2003/nr030521.html
Extractions: May 21, 2003 News Release Washington, D.C. - Despite the vital importance of education to Americans, critical investments in U.S. public schools remain stagnant, according to a state-by-state report released today by the National Education Association (NEA). The report, titled (PDF, 1M, 127 pages), paints a difficult funding picture for public education nationwide. Despite rising enrollments and a growing need for qualified teachers in many areas of the country, the average expenditure per student and the average salary of a public school teacher for the 2001-2002 school year increased only slightly over the previous year. Over the last 10 years, teacher salaries have remained flat, growing just 2.4 percent during that time period, or approximately 0.2 percent per year when the cost of living is factored in. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia saw real declines in average teacher salaries over the years 1991-92 to 2001-02, adjusted for inflation. Those with average salaries declining 5 percent or more: Alaska (-13.6%), Connecticut (-11%), Vermont (-9%), Wisconsin (-6.4%), New York (-6.3%), New Hampshire (-6.1%), Nevada (-6%), Kansas (-5.8%), and the District of Columbia (-5.3%) (Chart C-14). The study shows that the federal government's share of the public education dollar was 7.5% in 2001-2002 not enough to cover the cost of federally mandated education programs. State and local governments will need a larger share from the federal government in order to put the federal education mandates in place without sacrificing other programs. By failing to fully finance the new No Child Left Behind Act, which was enacted in 2002, the federal government will be undermining state and local governments' ability to find ways to attract qualified teachers into joining and staying in the profession, modernize existing schools and build new ones, and provide students with the programs, materials and books they need to meet the high standards envisioned by the new law.

Extractions: The Connecticut Bar Foundation recently retained the University of Connecticut's Center for Survey Research and Analysis to survey the civil law needs of low-income households in Connecticut; the survey was also partially funded by the Chester W. Kitchings Foundation. The results are sobering, though not surprising: A representative sample of households at or below 125% of federal poverty levels reported an average of 2.7 civil law problems per household last year. These problems included evictions, domestic violence, denial of Medicaid coverage, and abusive consumer collection practices. This finding implies that households qualifying financially for help from CLS and living in CLS' service area face well over 140,000 civil law problems per year

Extractions: cceagv.org Connecticut Collaborative for Education Against Gun Violence For the first time in several years, CAGV initiated legislation in the General Assembly. The proposal will require that all stolen guns be reported to authorities (click to see the bill). We know that the majority of CT crime guns originate with legal purchases made in Connecticut (click to view data on the source of crime guns used in Bridgeport). These legally purchased firearms are diverted to the illegal market, and end up in the hands of persons prohibited by law from purchasing firearms. When the firearms turns up in a crime, law enforcement traces it back to its last legal owner. In several cases, when the legal purchaser was asked how the perpetrator got the gun, the answer was that the gun had been stolen. Since there is no requirement for reporting stolen guns, no prosecution was possible. HB 5067 will close this loophole that is often exploited by firearms traffickers. CT law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Public Safety, and the Police Chiefs Association, support this idea. So do many other medical, community, and religious organizations (click here to see a complete list) (view data on public support) In fact, most people cannot believe that such a law does not already exist.

Extractions: ISSUE: A principal who functions within this broader context possesses the mobilization and advocacy skills of a community organizer, advocating for the school as a provider of child- and family- centered educational and social services (Comer, 1988; Ascher, 1990). The principal provides leadership in forging partnerships with churches, health and human service agencies, and other youth agencies (Nettles, 1991) and sees the school and its principal as leaders in community revitalization. OVERVIEW: Students who are at risk often receive services and help from a variety of agencies. Frequently, these agencies provide fragmented services with little coordination or communication between them, even though such contact could help improve services for the student. Agencies often do not know what other service providers are doing, what services are already being provided, or what information is already available to help understand a student's needs. In many schools across the country, leaders are helping develop collaboration between schools and other agencies and
