Extractions: I've had people tell me we have to wait till everyone "respects" everyone else. I've had people tell me we can't do anything till everyone's "consciousness" has been raised. People who think like this would wait for the cut to heal before applying a bandage, would wait till daybreak to light a candle, would wait for the sinking ship to rise before getting in the lifeboat. They're way past my comprehension, and beyond offering the opinion that they're going to have an awful long wait, I can't think of a thing to say to them.

Extractions: The Utah Division of Substance Abuse contracted with Brigham Young University to conduct a school survey of students in grades 7 to 12 covering thirteen local planning districts. The survey sought to determine: (1) the amount of ATOD use among adolescents in Utah, (2) how ATOD risk factors for adolescents in Utah compare with other States and the nation, (3) the extent ATOD use has changed during the past 10 years, and (4) the relationship between ATOD use and the risk and protective factor levels measured by the questions developed for the six-State consortium. The size of the sample was chosen to reach estimates that had a margin of error of +/- 2% at the State level and +/- 4% at the planning district level at the 95% confidence level. The sample included a proportional number of students from private schools. In addition, a sample of students from alternative schools were included. CONTACT
Utah's Salt Lake City School District Agency History
a basic educational program at all schools that is needs, eg, special education, alternative language services to some extent prescribed by utah State statutes.
http://www.archives.state.ut.us/referenc/xml/agencies/1089.html

Extractions: CREATION Creation of the district was authorized by the 1890 territorial free school law. Salt Lake City Mayor George M. Scott, acting as president ex-officio, organized the first Board of Education on July 19, 1890. Board members met in the City Hall. The board was organized to take over the twenty-two ward schools and establish a single public school system for Salt Lake City. The district revised its mission statement in 1993: "The Salt Lake City School District, as a catalyst for creating a new standard of excellence, will ensure high levels of student learning and performance in all schools and will prepare all students to pursue and celebrate lives of continuous learning and service in a diverse, global society." (From the Salt Lake City School District employee newsletter, October 13, 1994, pp. 1-2.) FUNCTIONS ADMINISTRATION The district is governed by a seven-member Board of Education of Salt Lake City, which is elected by the citizens of Salt Lake City in a general popular election. Board members elect a president and vice president at the time new members are sworn into office. The board appoints a superintendent and a business administrator (one of three assistant superintendents) whose duties and responsibilities are to some extent prescribed by Utah State statutes. The district is also subject to the general oversight of the Utah State Office of Education. This includes a budget approval process that is compliance oriented and is more ministerial in nature than substantive.

http://www.archives.state.ut.us/referenc/xml/agencies/681.html

Extractions: CREATION FUNCTIONS ADMINISTRATION The district is governed by a five-member, elected Board of Education. Voters in each of the district's five precincts elect one member to serve as their representative on the Board of Education. School board elections are held in November in conjunction with the general election. The board members elect a president and vice president at the time new members are sworn into office at the first board meeting in January. The district is also subject to the general oversight of the Utah State Office of Education. The superintendent appointed by the board is the executive officer of the board. ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY Murray residents objected to the consolidation of Salt Lake County Schools in 1905, which would have split the population of the newly incorporated city (residing in county school districts 24 and 25) between Granite District on the north and Jordan District on the south. Through annexation, the population of Murray was increased above the necessary threshold to qualify as a city of the second class. Thus, Murray (which was incorporated in 1902 as a city of the third class) gained the authority to establish its own city school district. SUPERINTENDENTS, 1905-PRESENT

Extractions: Charter schools, allowed in Utah under a 1998 law, offer parents a choice within the public education system. The schools still follow the state core curriculum and are required to administer state-mandated tests, like the spring 2002 core curriculum test, just like any other public school. But charter schools do have some flexibility in approach and governance. Many are run by parent and teacher boards, and many are filled with parent volunteers.

Extractions: Alternative Learning Annotated Bibliography Annotated Bibliography - Article 23 Title "For-Profit Alternative Schools Are Hot Commodities" Author: Jessica Portner Source: Education Week, July 8, 1998, Volume 17, Number 42, p. 1, 18 An exact tally of for-profit alternative schools cannot be pinpointed, but education market analysts report that the growth of this industry is impressive, constituting a multibillion-dollar industry that is expanding at an annual rate of 25 percent. Day programs and residential schools that advertise a broader array of mental health services for drug dependent and violence-prone teenagers are both multiplying. Many school districts have been very willing to give these schools a try due to the increase in the number of violent and disruptive youths. For-profit alternative schools have also seen a significant increase in business since the federal government required states to pass zero-tolerance laws by 1996 requiring districts to expel students who brought weapons to school. This article provides information about the philosophy of some for-profit alternative schools, and it also offers conflicting opinions of students who attend these types of institutions. Some parents and students feel these schools are "lifesavers" whereas other students are frustrated with the independent study and self-help approach. One main focus these alternative schools have is not academics but to teach troubled youth tools for life; this may be an on-going debate between educators at traditional schools and those who support alternative education.

The interest in getting back to alternative/holostic/complimentary medicine as well as agriculture (See SAFE below) is a "headlong rush" from that offered by Western medicine and its "drug - lets hope this does it (cover the symptoms) approach", which is just not working. ( Read Notice ) Over 48% of people desiring healthcare (in the U.S.), according to various publications and sources this last year (1998) went for the "holistic" alternative approach. As a result, the names of educational institutions, many which have been teaching and fully accredited for their students, are getting substantial increases in enrollments. We thought our viewers would like to look in Karinya for these sources, thus, we present our list, which is expected to grow rapidly.

Superintendent About SLCSD The District Our Schools There are 36 schools in the district: 27 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 3 high schools and one alternative high school. In May 1999, voters in Salt Lake City overwhelmingly approved issuing $136 million in bonds to help pay for the renovation or reconstruction of elementary and middle schools. The 10-year construction program is building schools that are safer, brighter, and can be used as community centers after school hours. You can find more information on the school construction page. Our Students Students in the Salt Lake City School District hail from around the world. Ethnic minorities make up 46% of our students, and the district serves a significant refugee population from Eastern European or African countries.

Extractions: By: Lon Woodbury Those of us old enough to remember the 1960s will recall a decade of tremendous change, creativity and turmoil. It was a turning point decade, a time when many of the old attitudes were cast off and new directions taken. At least one national social critic has asserted that when you look at the things going wrong in this country today, they all came out of the 1960s. On the other hand, many of our most respected contemporary values were products of the 1960s. In education and personal growth, a tremendous amount of creativity and new thinking began during the 1960s. Traditional public and private education thinking was widely challenged. The traditional interventions for emotional and behavioral problems of juvenile detention or hospitalization were criticized as harmful all too often.
