V.83 No.9 Pages 698-699/May 2002: Alexander and universities in the world to help create the best k12 schools for our He had served previously as president of the University of tennessee system, and http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/k0205ale.htm
Extractions: Papers from the Duke University Education Leadership Summit A Horse Trade for K-12 education Mr. Alexander is ready to say, "Spend more. Take it above 7% or 8% if you will agree that these new federal dollars should follow middle- and low-income students to schools of their choice." That's the horse trade that helped create the best colleges and universities in the world, he argues. By Lamar Alexander FOR THE PAST 40 years, most federal aid to schools has been based on the following horse trade: "I'll give you money, if you'll spend it my way," as in a drug-free schools program. The new Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is based on a different horse trade: money for results, as in learning to read. Down the road, neither horse trade will justify big increases in federal spending for schools. There are already too many grants with strings attached. And President Bush is now discovering the limits of enforcing Texas-style school accountability from Washington, D.C., instead of from Austin. As a result, federal spending for schools will probably stick where it has been at 7% to 8% of total K-12 spending or diminish below that level. So I would like to propose a new horse trade for the betterment of our children's education: put significant new federal dollars into schools that help the neediest children in exchange for letting those dollars follow the children to the school of their parents' choice. Such an idea already has broad support in American higher education. Since the end of World War II, when Congress created the GI Bill, federal dollars have followed students to the colleges and universities of their choice. This year, college students are receiving $15 billion in federal grants. There are another $40 billion for new student loans and $12 billion more for consolidating old student loans.

Extractions: After years of focusing on the purchase of computers, Tennessee education officials have set their sights on improving student access to the equipment and on integrating its use into the classroom. Since 1993, the legislature has appropriated $127 million for educational technology advancements. While the state can't earmark how districts spend the money, officials say each has a technology coordinator and seems committed to the cause. Join our on-line Town Meeting to discuss what role technology should play in education reform. "I don't know of any school system in the state that doesn't allocate money" for educational technology," says Amy Bearman, the executive administrative assistant to the state's education commissioner. Tennessee's 21st Century Classrooms program has put computers in about 20 percent of the state's classrooms, and the education department's ConnecTEN project, another major initiative, has connected all 1,560 K-12 schools to the Internet.

Extractions: NEWS RELEASES LEGISLATION BIOGRAPHICAL INFO PHOTOS ... PRESS Frist, Alexander Announce Michigan Avenue Elementary as Blue Ribbon School September 17, 2003 "I applaud the efforts of Michigan Avenue Elementary School for improving the quality of education for our children," said Frist. "Holding schools accountable for student performance is critical to the future of education, and this elementary school is proof that these ideals, as outlined in No Child Left Behind, really work. This prestigious award truly recognizes the hard work and the results teachers, administrators and educators have made in Tennessee." "Congratulations to Michigan Elementary School for being the first Blue Ribbon School in Tennessee this year," said Alexander. "This is recognition of our teachers, parents and students. I applaud their efforts and encourage schools across the state and nation to keep up the hard work." The No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools Award is given to public and private K-12 schools that are either academically superior in their state or that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement. Michigan Avenue Elementary School is the first Tennessee school this year to receive the blue ribbon distinction. In determining recipients for the award, the program requires schools to meet either of two assessment criteria: It recognizes schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that dramatically improve student performance in accordance with state assessment systems; and it rewards schools that score in the top 10 percent on state assessments.
Introduction by arranging the EUIs for 449 k12 public schools indicates the percent of the 449 schools that are From the figure, tennessee s Daniel Boone High ranks at http://eber.ed.ornl.gov/benchmark/intro.htm
Extractions: Energy Performance Comparing annual energy use intensities (EUIs) can quickly show you how the energy performance of your building compares to others. Usually expressed in kBtu/sf, the EUI indicates the rate at which energy is used at your building. The example that follows illustrates building energy performance benchmarking applied to K-12 schools. Similar distributions that will allow you to benchmark the energy performance of 16 different building types are available at this website. Many of these are regionally-based, which help to account for weather, building construction, and building systems differences that exist across the U.S. The benchmarking distribution below (a descending cumulative histogram) was created by arranging the EUIs for 449 K-12 public schools across the U.S. in ascending order. For a specific EUI located on the x-axis, the y-axis value indicates the percent of the 449 schools that are less efficient (use more energy). From the figure, Tennessee's Daniel Boone High ranks at approximately 25%. This indicates 75% of U.S. schools are more efficient, suggesting this school may have sizeable opportunities for efficiency gains and energy cost reductions. Nebraska's Maxey Elementary, however, a recently constructed school with a geothermal-based heating and cooling system, is a model of energy efficiency outperforming over 90% of schools in the U.S. Locating where your school's EUI lies on the curve will show you how well it performs against other U.S. K-12 schools.
Political State Report: Straight From The Trenches of America, a Nashville company that provides Internet service to 97 percent of of k12 schools in the state, was created by a friend of former tennessee Gov. http://www.polstate.com/archives/001905.html
Extractions: TN: Federal Probe May Slow School Internet Service A federal-state investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing in the way a state contract was granted for wiring Tennessees schools to the Internet is causing headaches for the Internet service provider - not to mention a former governor. Uncle Sam is withholding federal monies that pay for 70 percent of the program's costs until the investigation is resolved. The company says Internet service to the state's elementary and secondary schools could slow to a crawl in the coming days, reports The Tennessean newspaper. Education Networks of America, a Nashville company that provides Internet service to 97 percent of of K-12 schools in the state, was created by a friend of former Tennessee Gov. Don Sundquist, and won a $106 million contract with the state Department of Education to provide the Internet service, even though ENA was not the low bidder. The state used a process that allows contracts to be awarded based on price plus experience and other factors. ENA was deemed the winner despite having no prior experience. It later won a contract extension again without being the low bidder. Federal investigators are probing whether improprieties occurred in the awarding of contracts to a number of companies set up by friends of the former governor. One of those companies, Workforce Strategies, was granted a contract to provide garden-variety job training services on a no-bid "sole source" contract after state officials ruled the company was uniquely qualified to provide the service. Workforce Strategies had been in business for exactly six days. Not longer after it was granted the contract, the company - founded by a longtime Sundquist friend and political ally - gave a job and a stake in the company to a Sundquist administration official.
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.
