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 by 9. vermont. 9,352. 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.
