"This technology, provided by Qwest and others, is a big boost to rural Nebraska and will tie communities together by offering educational opportunities to all learners." Under the contract, Qwest, together with other communications carriers, will provide high-speed access that will support interactive video and audio transmissions, as well as Internet access, thereby enabling the delivery of distance-learning educational initiatives to CDLEC members.

Distance K-12: Baker's Guide To Christian Distance Education Programs The following are some k12 distance programs K12 works with partner schools in Colorado University of nebraska-Lincoln Independent Study High School http://www.gospelcom.net/bakersguide/k12.php
Extractions: For parents, particularly homeschoolers, distance education provides the opportunity to supplement a child's learning experience with a subject which might be out of the normal realm of expertise. For instance, if your daughter wants to take trigonometry but math was never your strong point, she could enroll in a distance learning math class. You could go beyond course supplements and use a distance program as your child's complete educational framework. Furthermore, since distance classes can either be high-tech independent studies taken whenever is convenient or a group class with a fixed schedule, you can choose which fits with your circumstances and your child's learning style. Accreditation is a different animal on the K-12 level than on the higher education one. Because of the varied state regulations concerning homeschooling (or any form of non-traditional learning) accreditation isn't critical as with colleges and universities. Furthermore, most of the regionals aren't particularly equipped to handle the uniquenesses of distance primary and secondary schools. To address this issue, the regional accrediting agencies have created a new accrediting agency called The Commission on International and Trans-regional Accreditation (CITA).

(Nov. 4, 2003) The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), a national nonprofit organization that promotes the use of information technologies and the Internet in K-12 education, today introduced Emerging Technologies Report: A Guide to Wireless LANs in K-12 Schools. Wireless local area networks have been around for some time, but only recently have the costs and benefits met at the magical point that propels a new technology into the mainstream, the report notes. New standards, faster speeds and decreasing costs are combining to make wireless networking an ever-more appealing solution for school campus connectivity needs. The report, from CoSNs Emerging Technologies Committee, examines the implementation of wireless LAN technologies in K-12 schools and identifies challenges, options, and lessons learned. Critical issues addressed in the report include standards and compatibility, planning and implementation, security, and total cost of ownership (TCO).

A model early childhood center was designed to demonstrate high quality curriculum, parental involvement and professional development. A new state-of-the-art center was dedicated in January 2000 and serves as a learning laboratory for colleges and the community as a whole. The metropolitan Omaha area offers a total of eleven colleges and universities with a combined enrollment of 44,800. There are also over 40 vocational/technical schools in the area.

Extractions: Amounts of state aid to schools for each school system in Nebraska as certified by the Nebraska Department of Education were compared for school years 1997-1998 and 1999-2000. The 1997-1998 school year is the "base year" for current school finance in Nebraska; LB 806, which set the current school formula (with minor modifications since), was adopted by the Nebraska Legislature in its 1997 session. Therefore, the state aid received by schools in 1997-1998 was the last under the pre-LB 806 state aid formula. The Legislature adopted LB 1114, which caps local property tax levies, in 1996. The combined effects of these two laws determine the amount of local and state resources received by individual school systems. In December 1997, the Center for Rural Affairs issued a report entitled Affects of LB 1114 and LB 806 on School Funding for 1998/99. This report analyzed the funding disparity between state aid in 1997-1998 (defined as a school system’s "need") and the certified state aid for school systems for 1998-1999 pursuant to the then-newly adopted LB 806. That report found that 64 school systems would lose more than 10 percent of state aid under LB 806 for 1998-1999. This report updates the 1997 report based on another school year’s experience with LB 806 and LB 1114. All data concerning state aid and enrollment is from the Nebraska Department of Education.
