74. Creating An Early Education System In Colorado we’ve offered technical assistance and resources to these Once completed, rollout will begin so all colorado parents have access Fully Funded Early education. http://www.nccic.org/ccpartnerships/cases/colorado2.htm

Creating An Early Education System in Colorado It isn’t easy to be a parent with young children today. In 1994, 10.3 million children under the age of five had working mothers. Many parents struggle to find and afford child care—or even to understand their children’s healthy development. Frequently, one or both parents must work outside the home to provide an adequate income, and many infants and young children spend large amounts of time in settings that don’t help them develop to their full potential. It’s hardly surprising that many of these children are poorly prepared to succeed in Kindergarten—and beyond. Educare Colorado started in 1998 when a coalition of business, philanthropic, early education, industry, and government leaders took on the task of creating a statewide early education system. Although Educare is a new venture, it is rooted in a long history of early education improvement efforts in Colorado, including the Business Commission on Child Care Financing and other local collaborative initiatives. The Commission had many successes, including orchestrating a bipartisan strategy to create a voluntary tax check-off that allows taxpayers to donate a portion of their tax refunds to a child care quality-improvement fund. Yet, according to Douglas Price, Educare co-founder and Chairman of the Commission, "It quickly became clear that addressing early education issues within the state went far beyond looking at financing. A system needed to be created." In addition, business leaders understood that, given the new research on brain development, providing high quality care is essential to children’s futures —and to the future of the state. The need for such a system with its careful attention to quality is clear.

Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Education Campus users When most people think about college campuses, they think about the image portrayed by media either through exaggerated college student characters on television or in movies, or highlighting the irresponsible acts of a minority of students. However, studies show that most college students make responsible choices concerning their use of drugs and alcohol. Each spring UNC participates in the Core Survey which is a tool to assess actual student behavior in regards to drugs and alcohol. In Spring, 2002, we discovered that... 91 percent of UNC students do not use ecstasy 58 percent of UNC students do not use pot 52 percent of UNC students do not use tobacco 61 percent of UNC students have four drinks or less a week, if they drink at all 25 percent of UNC students reported not drinking at all in a week 71 percent of UNC students reported drinking 6 times or less in the last year 65 percent of UNC students reported not using tobacco in the last 30 days 75 percent of UNC students reported not using pot in the last 30 days 69 percent of UNC students reported never having done poorly on a test or project due to alcohol 82 percent of UNC students reported never having been in trouble with the authorities due to alcohol Our office provides information and resources to anyone on the UNC campus about substance use and abuse.

Ron Unz, chair of English for the Children, is a California multimillionaire software developer and former Republican candidate for governor. Unz launched a national movement to eliminate bilingual education across the country by amending state constitutions, with the ultimate goal being to amend the Constitution of the United States. He also spearheaded the defeat of bilingual education in California, Arizona, and Massachusetts, but his xenophobic anti-immigrant campaign met with fierce resistance in Colorado. On November 5, more than 56 percent of all Colorado voters opposed the anti-bilingual amendment and voted “No on 31.” Among other things, the amendment to the Constitution would have given all students only nine months to learn English before being placed into all-English classes. For many, this would mean a lifetime of being illiterate. And therein lies the importance of “holding the line” on bilingual education and defeating the likes of Ron Unz: Illiteracy and inequity in education translates into political and economic apartheid for millions of immigrant students.
