Extractions: Home Who We Are Opportunities for Educators Advice for Parents ... Support for Kids "Bargaining for Quality" By Angelo J. Dorta, Vermont-NEA President As described in last month's Vermont-NEA Today, Education Week's recent "Quality Counts 2000: Who Should Teach?" report discovered a "salary gap" that mirrored an analysis of Vermont teacher salaries commissioned by Vermont-NEA last summer and publicized at the start of this school year. "While the prosperity train raced across the nation in the latter half of the 1990s, teachers have been left at the station," concludes Education Week. "From 1994-1998, salaries for bachelor's degree holders outside of education have increased 17%, or $6,808, after adjusting for inflation. And the average salary for people with master's degrees in non-teaching fields increased 32% over inflation, or $17,505. The average inflation-adjusted salary for teachers with either degree increased less than one percent over the same period. "

Earlier sections of this document discuss community involvement in terms of recruitment, provision of student support services, and roles in school-to-work transition activities. The following descriptions detail two of the more unusual means of involving community members, parents, and others in partnership endeavors. One is included because successful efforts to involve parents in activities that help support educational reform were rare among the partnerships we studied. Another is included as an example of both a practical and a political tool. The third brought the entire community together. Common to the practices was their function in creating willingness to support educational activities and build relationships with schools. Parent Education

Make litigant records kept in any court in the state available to judges in accordance with policies established by the Supreme Court. Personal computers will be installed and operational in a least 14 Family Court courtrooms. 3. Continue efforts to provide quality alternatives to traditional, adversarial dispute resolution . Evaluate the innovative approaches developed in the family court under the "cartel's" project, and with the civil rules committee, evaluate civil experimental rule 16.3; recommend whether to advance these programs by 2/1/03.
