GK12 The North mississippi grades k12 (NMGK12) project Engineering and Technology (SMET) into the city of Oxford and Lafayette county schools as resources http://smartweed.olemiss.edu/nmgk12/
Extractions: The North Mississippi grades K-12 (NMGK12) project, in part funded by the National Science Foundation, places graduate students from Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (SMET) into the city of Oxford and Lafayette county schools as resources for the local teachers. The NSF fellows participate in interdisciplinary teams to locate and/or develop materials to be utilized in elementary and secondary science and mathematics classrooms. The projects goal is to enhance the educational practices in use by K-12 teachers and students with emphasis on materials that improve critical thinking skills, effectively reaching students in every grade, academic performance level, cultural background and learning style. As often as appropriate, the curriculum will utilize the Mississippi River as the conceptual "umbrella" under which a variety of lessons and activities may be developed. By crafting many activities and problems around a single conceptual theme, students will grasp the variety of disciplines that are actively involved in any given study as well at the intertwining of skills and content that such studies require.

Extractions: Ronnie Musgrove (Democrat, elected 1999) Despite the currently sound conditions, potential fiscal problems lie ahead. Mississippi has committed to major increases in teacher pay, and also faces the risk of unbudgeted Medicaid growth. These commitments might be hard to meet in the event of an economic downturn. Over the course of the past few years, Mississippi has taken several steps to provide flexibility in its hiring process. It has moved away from a focus on arbitrary education and experience requirements for new employees, and toward a reliance on skills and general competence. Now it is trying to cut back on the use of testing as well. Most recently, the state gave up testing for workers in its correctional facilities, a source of many low-paying jobs with high turnover rates. There was some initial concern about a loss of employee quality, but research indicated that in the past, tests had weeded out only a small percentage of weak applicants. Now the Department of Corrections evaluates candidates itself and hiring is far more rapid. They might also want to do a little more for the work force of the present. The legislature stiffed state employees out of pay raises last year; not a good plan for maintaining worker satisfaction.
Mississippi Geography Education Fund Strengthen ties between k12 schools, junior colleges, and universities. Foster understanding and Add to the appreciation in mississippi for the value of http://www.philhardin.org/geography_education.html
Extractions: After discussions with the Phil Hardin Foundation in 1989, the National Geographic Education Foundation agreed to establish an endowed fund to encourage and improve the teaching of geography in Mississippi and to increase and disseminate geographic knowledge more broadly in the state. The Mississippi Geography Education Fund is the first state endowment established in the Society's Education Foundation. To initiate the Fund, the National Geographic Society announced its intention to provide up to $500,000 in matching funds to create an endowment. The Phil Hardin Foundation granted an initial $250,000 to the Mississippi Geography Education Fund. This grant was matched by the Society. It is the hope of the Hardin Foundation and the Society that the Fund will eventually exceed $1,000,000 through additional contributions. To this aim, the National Geographic Society is prepared to match an additional $250,000 in gifts to the Fund. From its inception in 1992 through 2000, the

Mississippi the issue of telecommunications network bonds to fund k12 schools, community colleges State Central Data Processing Authority to the mississippi Department of http://www.benton.org/publibrary/state/mississippi.html
Extractions: Mississippi Mississippi is currently working to put schools, hospitals, and libraries online, and state policymakers are providing incentives to this end: counties that promote telecommunications training receive a 50 percent tax credit and a 25 percent funding credit for training programs. State law gives certain telecommunications enterprises tax exemptions and tax credits. Bell South is the sole telecommunications provider in the state. The Mississippi Public Service Commission has ruled against competition, and the state has not passed legislation allowing competition. A Mississippi Telecommunications Task Force comprising representatives from state agencies, institutions, and the private sector is assessing and making recommendations for a statewide network infrastructure. It will present a strategic technology plan to the legislature's Telecommunications Study Committee in 1996. In 1995 the legislature overrode the governor's veto of a bill creating the Mississippi Telecommunications Conference and Training Center Commission, which is to oversee the establishment of a center in Jackson. The center will be used as a conference and training facility for telecommunications companies. The bill also authorized the issue of $17.5 million in general obligation bonds for the center's construction. Also in 1995, the legislature established a Council for Education Technology and authorized the issue of telecommunications network bonds to fund K-12 schools, community colleges, libraries, and universities to develop telecommunications plans and begin implementation. Another bill passed in 1995 changed the name of the State Central Data Processing Authority to the Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services (MDITS) and authorized MDITS to use state funds to evaluate emerging technologies.

Extractions: Remember, it is critical that your project matches the funder's guidelines. You will waste both your time and the grant-maker's if you submit a proposal that does not match the grantor's funding initiatives. The SchoolGrants focus is primarily schools within the United States. There are, however, often opportunities available that extend to our Canadian neighbors. Most of such opportunities are found on the Nationwide Opportunities pages. If you know of opportunities that are not listed on the SchoolGrants site, we would appreciate you letting me know about them! It is the SchoolGrants goal to provide as many opportunities as possible to benefit our Nation's children and their schools. This is only possible with your help and assistance.

A Literacy Milestone For Mississippi Libraries mississippi s public libraries are clearly ready to assume some leadership in the fight libraries will be a welcome partner to the region s k12 schools and 2 http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/mar01/tyre.htm
Extractions: A Literacy Milestone for Mississippi Libraries by Terian Tyre MultiMedia Schools March/April 2001 R ome wasn't built in a day, and neither will our nation's 21st century digital infrastructure. Gradually, however, it is taking shape. High-speed networks increasingly link schools, libraries, homes, and businesses all across this vast country. And statewide initiatives have often led the way. Mississippi, for example, was among the first to provide universal access to the Internet through all of its public libraries. Now, it steps out front as the first state to offer universal access to academic curriculum through its public libraries. Patrons choose their courses from the PLATO learning system, a collection of computer-based instructional curricula for young adults and adults from PLATO Learning, Inc. It's all Web-based and totally free to users. Playing a pivotal role in this literacy project is the Mississippi Library Commission (MLC) and its former executive director, John Pritchard. First, the MLC helped spearhead investment for a frame-relay network that made high-speed Internet access available to virtually all the libraries in the state. This improved infrastructure, in turn, enabled delivery of complex courseware like PLATO and other advanced applications to libraries statewide. Finally, an independent assessment by the state's First Regional Library in a demonstration project proved compelling. Patrons were interested. Quite a few took the self-paced instructional courses to earn their GED, for example. Library staff also generally approved, noting that it took little administration time (staff register patrons with the system just once) while offering considerable benefit to their communities. Based on this success, the MLC has now rolled out the PLATO Web Learning Network to public libraries throughout Mississippi. The MLC approved a 3-year subscription, which should result in a rich baseline data for further analysis.

Subject Guide To Mississippi Statistics mississippi Department of Education State Docs 201 disseminates statistics on a variety of topics for k-12 schools, from the amount of money spent in each http://library.deltastate.edu/libguides/msstats.html
Extractions: While most of the time you would think to look in statistical sources from the federal government, occasionally you need to find information at the county or city level, or information that would be compiled only by the state. Frequently the federal statistical sources only include data at the state level (the major exceptions being the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics). State of Mississippi publications are therefore the next logical step to finding statistics closer to home. Similar to the federal government, there is no state agency responsible for accumulating and disseminating all statistical information. Instead, it is decentralized, with each agency responsible for collecting its own data and sharing this data with the public. Roberts Library is a depository for state publications. They are located in the Reference Area, arranged by issuing agency. State agencies are also using the Web as a means of distributing information to the public. Unfortunately, not all of the agencies have much statistical information available on their Web sites, but the amount is growing. General Compilations Agriculture Economics Education ...

Extractions: 'DIGITAL LIBRARY' OF CIVIL RIGHTS HISTORY HATTIESBURG - The University of Southern Mississippi will administer a $463,322 grant awarded to USM Libraries for a collaborative project that will result in the world's largest online educational resource on the African-American civil rights movement. In a collaboration with Delta State University, Jackson State University, Tougaloo College, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and the University of Mississippi, the Mississippi Digital Library Program will result in the digitization of at least 10,000 pages/images over two years of production. The project, funded with a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will create research-quality digital collections of letters, diaries, photographs, state and organizational records, oral histories, and other primary sources that provide firsthand documentation of one of the most far-reaching social movements in United States history in a state that became a focal point in the struggle over America's racial dilemma. "This more extensive collaboration among some of the state's academic institutions gives us an opportunity to form lasting partnerships that will pave the way for an expansion of access to other cultural materials as well," said Diane DeCesare Ross, digitization librarian at Southern Miss.
