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
Extractions: TSSA Draft (v4.0) The Collaborative for Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA Collaborative) has facilitated the development of a national consensus on what P-12 administrators should know and be able to do to optimize the effective use of technology. This consensus is presented by the Collaborative (November 2001) as Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA). The Collaborative believes that comprehensive implementation of technology is, in itself, large-scale systemic reform. Leadership plays a key role in successful school reform. The CollaborativeÕs standards, therefore, focus on the role of leadership in enhancing learning and school operations through the use of technology. These standards are indicators of effective leadership for technology in schools. They define neither the minimum nor maximum level of knowledge and skills required of a leader, and are neither a comprehensive list nor a guaranteed recipe for effective technology leadership. Rather, these standards are a national consensus among educational stakeholders of what best indicates accomplished school leadership for comprehensive and effective use of technology in schools. The standards challenge almost every school administrator in some areas, yet each individual standard is attainable by the professional education leader. Although a national consensus, in no way should these standards inhibit new development, innovation, or progress for schools or for school leadership.
Extractions: States have made considerable progress in public education reform by developing standards, assessments, and accountability systems and by improving teacher quality. States continue to build on these reforms by using multiple policy strategies to improve academic performance. For many students, test performance will over time with the implementation of new standards, assessments, and curriculum, and the introduction of better trained teachers and new teaching techniques. For other students, performance may be lower than expected because they are not prepared to learn when they arrive at school. Policymakers need to focus on eliminating barriers that affect these low-performing students' readiness to learn. Among these barriers are physical and mental health conditions that impact students' school attendance and their ability to pay attention in class, control their anger, and restrain from self-destructive impulses. To assist schools in ensuring that students come to school ready to learn, policymakers can review the burgeoning research linking student health with student achievement and design data-driven programs. They can also provide technical assistance to help schools incorporate health into their curricula and increase interagency partnerships between the health and education communities. Many of the programs profiles in this Issue Brief use these strategies to meet student health needs and improve student academic performance.
NEA: News Release - Rankings & Estimates Using information provided by state education agencies and analyzed 47. mississippi. 5,469. professionals, school administrators, retired educators, and students 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: Mississippi retains its iconic status as home to the heroic movement that ended one hundred years of post-slavery apartheid. At the same time Mississippi, for all its rich and recent history of profound social change, still has a long way to go to meet even the modest standards of access to justice and access to opportunity achieved in most other states of the United States. The Mississippi Center for Justice aspires to re-ignite the movement for social justice in Mississippi by putting legal advocacy in service in a 21 st century way to goals of systemic change. The Center Twelve Social Justice Breakdowns Local Mississippi Leaders Are Seeing In Their Communities Young children diverted from the school house to the jail house . A "zero tolerance" school discipline policy diverts elementary school children in Sunflower Country from public schools and channels them into the juvenile justice system with little or no recourse. They and their parents are left to navigate the juvenile justice system while their educational opportunities evaporate. State education policy on school discipline suggests this problem is pervasive.

This marks the first time the conference has been held east of the Mississippi and what a location it is. The Boston area is the home of Plymouth Rock, Paul Reveres ride, the Boston Tea Party, the solitude of Walden Pond and the shot heard round the world in Concord. An area steeped in history, home to a number of great universities, and more recently the site of the big dig, a colossal public works project that has transformed the citys highways and tamed its traffic. A city that is now ready for the Democratic Convention in July and ready for us in June. The 2004 Conference is the conference with many themes. We celebrate the 40th Anniversary of NAEP. We tackle the tough challenges of No Child Left Behind. We gather to discuss and debate new ideas and issues in assessment and to examine new technologies that promise a better future.

Policy-makers must look for solutions that benefit coeducational public schools, which more than 90 percent of elementary and secondary students attend. Within public education, single-sex classes must be initiated in response to demonstrated need and be designed to inform and improve the coeducational school system where the majority of students continue to learn. Further, schools must comply with relevant civil rights laws, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal fun),and the Constitution's equal protection principles as articulated by the U.S. Supreme Court.
