The Needs Statement The needs statement is your opportunity to explain the reason behind your proposal. It specifies the conditions you want to change. Read the following brief grant descriptions carefully. After each, you will find two needs statements. One is marked "yes," the other "no." Think about the characteristics that distinguish the "yes" sentences from the "no" sentences. The Extended Access to Library Media Services program allows public school media centers to be open during evenings after school. This enables students and their parents to make use of the media center facilities including multi-media computers connected to the Internet. YES Students attending Alpha Elementary School have little or no access to public library facilities due to lack of transportation and other factors related to their socioeconomic status. Approximately 90% of Alpha Elementary School students are eligible to participate in the federal free and reduced fee lunch program. In 2000, Alpha Elementary School received a "D" grade due to low reading scores on standardized tests. After-school access to the school's media center will give students access to tutoring services, books, computers, and materials that will help them carry out their homework assignments and help them improve their academic achievement. NO Decker High School, one of ten public high schools in the county, draws students mainly from the east side of the city and surrounding area. The school includes several of the district's special programs. The total enrollment is approximately 1,600 students. The student population reflects the entire spectrum of the learning and economic scale.

Select One On-line Media Kit Contact Info Two Reports, One Conclusion: School Choice Creating Reform in Florida WEB RELEASE: February 16, 2001 CONTACT: John Kramer [School Choice] Washington, D.C. - "The combined force of these two studies settles the key question in the school choice debate: choice forces public schools to improve," declared Clint Bolick, the Institute for Justice’s litigation director. The Institute for Justice is defending the Florida’s choice program in court, representing parents and children who use opportunity scholarships. "School choice isn’t just about getting kids out of failing schools into good schools. It’s also about prodding long-overdue public school reform," commented Bolick. Under the A-Plus plan, each public school in Florida is assigned a grade, A through F, based on the performance of students on the Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT). Students attending schools that receive two "F" grades in four years are eligible to receive vouchers that enable them to attend private schools or to transfer to another public school. The official Florida report issued yesterday examines whether schools that faced the prospect of having vouchers offered to their students experienced larger improvements in their FCAT scores than did other schools. Because some critics of the A+ plan might argue that the FCAT results are manipulated so that they do not represent true student achievement, the report first establishes the validity of the FCAT results. The study found a very high correlation between results from the FCAT, a "high-stakes" test, and results from the Stanford 9, a widely respected, low-stakes standardized test administered around the same time. This finding helps confirm the validity of the FCAT scores, removing doubts that gains on the FCAT were merely the product of "teaching to the test" or other techniques designed to manipulate the results. Among the findings of the report:

Public release date: 20-Feb-2004 Contact: Tom Evelyn tevelyn@mail.ucf.edu University of Central Florida Well-stocked, staffed school libraries boost FCAT scores, UCF research shows Students at schools with better libraries outperform peers on Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, University of Central Florida research reveals ORLANDO, Fla. Students at schools with well-staffed libraries that circulate the most books and have the most computers outperform their peers on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, according to research at the University of Central Florida. FCAT scores, the state's primary measure of student achievement, were 20 percent higher in 2000-01 in reading at high schools that employed at least one full-time professional librarian and the equivalent of one other full-time library employee, UCF education professor Donna Baumbach concluded in her "Making the Grade" report. FCAT scores also were highest at elementary and middle schools with well-staffed libraries. Fifty-five percent of students passed the FCAT reading test at high schools with a full-time professional library media specialist and one or more employees who worked a combined 40 hours or more a week, compared with 37 percent at other high schools. Other factors influencing test scores include the size of a school's library collection, the age of the materials and the availability of computers in the library. Like studies in Colorado, Oregon, Texas, Iowa and New Mexico, the Florida research shows there is a strong correlation between available resources in a school's library and student achievement.

School Library/Media Center Friends Austin Readers for School Libraries, Austin, TX The mission of the Austin Readers for School Libraries is to "encourage and facilitate children's reading, to instill a passion for books, and to promote libraries as strong, vital institutions that are central to the well being of their schools and community." In 1995, the Board of the Austin ISD threatened to cut library positions in several of the city's smaller elementary schools. One parent, Virginia Raymond, made an impassioned plea before the Austin Independent School District Board to retain the staff. A school library supporter on the board was so impressed with Ms. Raymond that he suggested she reach out to other parents who shared her belief in the importance of quality library service in the schools. Thus the Austin Readers for School Libraries were born. Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary School Friends of the Library Albuquerque, New Mexico
