ILLINOIS PUBLIC MUSEUM GRANTS PROGRAM Administered by the Illinois State Museum (ISM) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Grant Administration PROGRAM SUMMARY Background In recognition of the contributions that museums make to education, tourism, and economic development, legislation was enacted in the spring of 1998 to help public museums improve facilities and develop new exhibits as well as expand educational programming and partnerships between museums and schools. Funding was appropriated beginning in FY 99 for two programs; the capital grant program and the operating grant program. Public Museum Capital Grant Program From FY 99 - FY 02, $10M was appropriated annually from the Capital Development Bond Fund (CDBF) for the Capital Grant Program. In FY 03, $36M was appropriated – $18 M from the CDBF and $18 M from the Build Illinois Bond Fund. Over $76M in grant funds have been used by 94 museums of many types and sizes throughout Illinois to develop new and updated exhibits, expand facilities, renovate and restore buildings, and make infrastructure improvements. Museums are better able to serve their audiences and attract new visitors as a result of the capital improvements made to museums through this program. Public Museum Operating Grant Program The operating grant program was designed to improve and enhance the capacity of museums to more effectively use their resources to supplement the learning process of Illinois school children and other citizens. From FY 99 - FY 02, $5 M GRF was appropriated annually for the operating grant program.

In 1997, work on MuseumLink Illinois began with funding by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Technology Opportunities Program, MuseumLink Illinois is a reality. The project has furnished twelve underserved schools in Illinois with equipment and software packages and is providing educators with training on how to use this technology and its applications, the Internet, and MuseumLink Illinois resources for interactive instruction in their classrooms. Students can use the technology to learn about Illinois, collaborating electronically with other students and accessing experts and information online. MuseumLink also reaches underserved communities through public terminals and training programs at three ISM facilities. With the help of MuseumLink Illinois, not only can our visitors come to us, now the Illinois State Museum can also go to them. For those interested in the MuseumLink Illinois Proposal , it's available on-line as a .pdf.

CASEL Illinois Center E-Bulletin February 26, 2004 Vol. 5 Dear Illinois Educators, In this issue of the CASEL Illinois E-bulletin, we focus on the good work and many resources the regional laboratories of education have to offer educators. There are ten regional labs that cover each portion of the country. The purpose of these labs is to ensure that schools have access to the most up-to-date research and practice information to enhance their school improvement efforts. For more information on all of the labs, visit http://www.relnetwork.org . In this issue, we have included information and a free resource from our very own Illinois (and surrounding states) lab, the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (NCREL). CASEL has also enjoyed an eight-year partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Laboratory for Student Success (LSS) at Temple University focusing on the sound theory and research to support the importance of school-family partnerships in contributing to a child's social and emotional development and academic success. I hope your schools are filled with warm relationships in this cold month of February!
