Extractions: By Pat Sellon Times Correspondent MONTICELLO The walls are virtually disappearing from area schools. At least they are in the sense that students are no longer confined to just the classes and teachers offered in their own school buildings. Distance Learning Labs (DLL), now possible through computer technology, can bring a world of education unimagined just a decade ago. But the DLL revolution comes at a cost of not only money, but also time. The Monticello school district spent almost $41,000 to set up its DLL lab about four years ago. Brodhead High School principal Steve McNeil said that is similar to his district's expenses. Monticello's first upgrade will be needed in the 2005-06 school year and about every five years after that at a cost of about $3,000. On top of that, schools need to sign on with a service provider, which would cost the Monticello school district a one-time fee of $3,000 and a yearly fee of almost $5,100. There was also a needed repair last year, which cost the district a few thousand dollars. Part of the cost is recouped when a school hosts classes and charges fees to schools that sign on to take classes from the hosting school. According to Monticello High School principal Ken Colle and district superintendent Karen Ballin, the DLL has not had much use in Monticello. The first year, nine students took German and one student took anthropology. The second year, two students took anthropology with no students involved the third year. This year the school made the decision to change providers and switched to the Southwest Rural Telecommunications Network Consortium. Now two students are taking sign language with almost 12 students signed up for classes next year.

Wisconsin Legislation wisconsin just passed legislation on Charter schools in July in the district to Charter schools if a teachers and the board provides alternative public school http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/pbriefs/93/93-2wi.htm
Extractions: Pathways home page Contents Previous section Next section Wisconsin just passed legislation on Charter Schools in July 1993, as the Governor had urged in his January 1993 address. This legislation authorizes a school board, on its own initiative or by a petition meeting certain conditions, to request approval from the state superintendent to establish one or more Charter Schools in the school district. A Charter School would be exempt from all laws governing public schools except the requirement to participate in the state's pupil assessment program and to be included in the school district's annual school performance report. The Charter Schools are allowed to be established in no more than ten school districts. The students enrolled in a Charter School also would be included in a school district's membership for state aid purposes. If a Charter School replaces a public school in whole or in part, the school must give preferences to any pupil residing within the attendance area of the former school. Charter Schools also must be nonsectarian in their programs, admissions policies, employment practices, and other operations. Charter Schools may not charge tuition, discriminate in admission, or deny participation in any program or activity on the basis of a person's sex, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability.

The University of Wisconsin System also is developing a competency-based admission policy as an alternative to the Carnegie Unit approach. The UW system will work with K-12 schools to develop a profile for reporting student achievement in lieu of a transcript. The schools will be able to use any method of performance-based assessment, including portfolios, reports, and experiments, to determine the level of competency attained.

Extractions: Make a Selection Archive Advertising Editorial Board Feedback Staff Subscriptions Writing Guidelines Wisconsin Lawyer Main Wisconsin's Legal History Lloyd Barbee Byron Paine was the most important figure in the history of 19th century Wisconsin civil rights law. Lloyd Barbee is probably the most important figure of the 20th century. Barbee was born in Tennessee in 1925. After graduating from college in Memphis, he earned a law degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1956. He worked in Madison in private practice and as a hearing examiner for the Industrial Commission. In 1962 Barbee moved to Milwaukee and resumed private practice. Barbee quickly became a leader in the Milwaukee NAACP. In 1963 Barbee and the NAACP launched a broad challenge to segregation in Milwaukee, beginning with the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). When they proposed concrete desegregation measures, the MPS board reaffirmed its commitment to neighborhood schools, although a minority on the board was persuaded that some change was necessary. The NAACP and allied groups responded by sponsoring demonstrations, a school boycott and model alternative schools in 1964. When the MPS board remained unmoved the NAACP asked Barbee to prepare a desegregation suit, Amos v. Board of School Directors

The new law does not increase the current funding for the program. The new law reflects the approach of refocusing the current funding on specific programs with measurable goals with the anticipation that if the results warrant additional funding, those will be provided in the future. The new law makes the following modifications in the current law: The name of the program is changed from "children at risk" to "children at risk of not graduating from high school" to reflect the refocusing of the program.
