Innovations in Traditional Public Schools Innovations in Traditional Public Schools Parents who choose public schools often do so on the strength of special programs available to their child. Many public school districts have taken an innovative approach that moves away from one-size-fits-all programs to expand choices available to parents. The most prominent approaches include: Magnet Schools Alternative Schools Transfer Programs and Open Enrollment Post Secondary Enrollment Options Magnet Schools Many school systems have established magnet school programs for a small percentage of their students. Magnet schools, sometimes called specialty schools, gained popularity during the 1970's as alternatives to mandatory desegregation plans. They provided specialized programs such as science and technology or the performing arts, for instance to attract a racially diverse student body from across a school district. By the early 1980s, there were approximately 1,100 magnet schools in 140 urban school districts nationwide. Some magnet schools require students to compete for admission, setting grade point average or test score requirements for eligibility. Magnet schools do not generally have attendance areas, although in places like Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, so-called "walk zones" were established to give some children living near magnet schools more access to these special programs. Such a policy was necessary because many of the early magnet schools established to foster desegregation were located in poorer urban neighborhoods. Children living in those neighborhoods often were denied access because they did not qualify for the special programs or because, as children of color, they would not "enhance racial balance" by attending the school.

Children's Healthcare Government courts 09/02, In La Crosse, 22 residents agreed to be plaintiffs in the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s federal lawsuit challenging the posting of The Ten Commandments in a city park, in spite of the fact that Federal Magistrate Steve Crocker ruled against the FFRF’s request that the plaintiffs identities remain confidential. In July, the original plaintiff had died. The new plaintiffs include FFRF members, Unitarian-Universalists, two Jewish women, one Catholic man and others. The case is Sue Mercier, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc. et. al. v. City of La Crosse, Case No. -2-CO-0376C, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb. (Source: Freethought Today , FFRF, Sept.) 09/02, The FFRF is appealing a July 26th ruling that allowed indirect government funding of Faith Works, a religious social service. The previous ruling in January against direct funding still holds, however. At issue is a contract that the Department of Corrections has with Faith Works, giving the religious organization $160,000 in two years for offering an alternative for parole violators to revocation of probation or parole. Such parolees do not have the option of a secular program alternative. Federal U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb argued that the men are involved in the program "by choice" and that the contract is like a voucher scheme. The 7th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the case. (Source:

Places and Schools Named After John Muir Scotland Dunbar Muir's View - a putting green located on the Winterfield Golf Course, overlooking the beach at Belhaven Bay which is part of the John Muir Country Park. John Muir Country Park - The Park is a coastline area of land of 1,667 acres set aside for the conservation of nature and for people to freely enjoy the beautiful coastline. The Park begins at the Dunbar Castle where Muir played as a child, and extends northward. The park was approved in 1976 and was the first of its kind in Scotland. John Muir Birthplace Re-Opens (August, 2003) John Muir House (birthplace) - Muir's birthplace has been restored by the East Lothian District Council to show how it might have looked when Muir was a child. The house includes a restored Kitchen and bedroom, and an Exhibition Room, including displays and an audio-visual video about Muir's life and work. Plans are underway by the John Muir Birthplace Trust to develop a new interpretive center in the house. (offsite links) A series of street names in the former Lochend Estate to the south of the town are named for Muir: John Muir Crescent, John Muir Gardens, John Muir Place, John Muir Road, and John Muir Way. David Anderson, a Dunbar resident writes: "All of the streets in this residential development of approximately 500 new homes (2002-2003) will be named after notable Dunbar people (mind you, some are only notable to us). A large woodland associated with the old estate will be preserved for community use and will be managed for the benefit of wildlife."

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Increasingly, educators are paying serious attention to the quality of the relationships that exist among staff members and students in schools. The National Association of Secondary School Principals' recent publication "Breaking Ranks," for instance, highlights "personalization" of the high school as a key challenge for school reform. Similarly, Ernest Boyer argued in "The Basic School" that fostering "community" in elementary schools is essential for effective schooling in the early grades. Indeed, a good deal of evidence now exists suggesting that a strong sense of community in schools has benefits for both staff members and students and provides a necessary foundation for school improvement.

May 2004 School-to-Home Collaboration Tool Makes Education a Team Effort for Wisconsin District By Nick White December 2003 - Applications We live in a connected world. With tools like e-mail, instant messaging and cell phones, we are more connected now than ever before. In education, however, we have not made the most of the communication tools available to us, especially when it comes to connecting with parents. In the School District of Kettle Moraine in Wales, Wis., we did not experience an overwhelming demand from parents for more access to information about their children. Yet, we felt that school-to-home communication was a priority we needed to proactively address, since parents play a vital role in the educational process. Our suburban school district has 4,355 students enrolled in four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school and one alternative school. Back in 2001, the district determined it needed to move to a new student administrative system. We had previously implemented school and financial management software from Pearson Digital Learning. As we considered our options, we decided to continue our relationship with Pearson because they offered a suite of tools that could work together seamlessly with the software we already had in place. So, we implemented the SASIxp student information system, InteGrade Pro online gradebook software and the ParentCONNECTxp school-to-home collaboration tool. We chose to implement the ParentCONNECTxp software in three stages at our middle and high schools. During the first stage of our implementation, parents could visit the password-protected Web site to view their child's schedules, report cards, daily and period attendance, course history (high school only), as well as demographic and health/immunization data. The Web site gives parents the most up-to-date information available on their child without creating extra work for teachers, administrators or staff. The system simply draws information from the student administrative system, thereby eliminating the need for duplicate data entry.

By Barbara Miner A recent legislative report on the Milwaukee voucher program found that participating private schools provide a variety of educational programs and are located throughout the city, but noted that "some hopes for the program - most notably, that it would increase participating pupils' academic acheivement - cannot be documented." The report is the only official document that provides a current overview of the Milwaukee voucher initiative, officially known as the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. The report covers the 1998-99 school year, when religious schools were involved for the first time and the program vastly expanded. The report was released Feb. 2 by the state's non-partisan Legislative Audit Bureau. The report provides some previously unavailable information, such as the racial breakdown of students receiving the vouchers. It also includes responses to a survey of voucher school parents, which shows them to be generally satisfied with the schools their children attend.

57. CATALYST, March 1996: Milwuakee's Alternative Schools Evaluation too late to save some schools. by Curtis Lawrence funding three of about two dozen alternative schools participating in the districts partnership program. Tony Baez, a University http://www.catalyst-chicago.org/03-96/036mil.htm

Lessons from Milwaukee Evaluation too late to save some schools by Curtis Lawrence An independent evaluation of the program had found that while some schools provided a rigorous education, others were little more than "dumping grounds." "One problem with the Milwaukee program was that it lacked a solid evaluation method until years after the partnership program was up and running," says Tony Baez, a University of Wisconsin education professor who was hired by the school district to evaluate the program. With little support or direction from the School Board, some programs had foundered by the time an evaluation finally was conducted, he says. With Baez as an advisor, Chicago seems to be avoiding that problem. "What Chicago is trying to do is make sure that before the program is established, the alternative [schools] are viable," he notes. For one, Chicago gave contracts only to organizations that had been operating similar programs for at least two years. Unlike the Chicago program, the Milwaukee program attempts to reach students with academic or discipline problems before they leave the system. Regular schools make referrals, and the alternative schools recruit students. Launched in 1985, the program now includes 20 alternative schools, which receive 1-, 2-, or 3-year contracts depending on their track records.

In Appleton, Wisconsin, a revolution has occurred. Its taken place in the Central Alternative High School. The kids now behave. The hallways arent frantic. Even the teachers are happy. The school used to be out of control. Kids packed weapons. Discipline problems swamped the principals office. But not since 1997. What happened? Did they line every inch of space with cops? Did they spray valium gas in the classrooms? Did they install metal detectors in the bathrooms? Did they build holding cells in the gym? Afraid not. In 1997, a private group called Natural Ovens began installing a healthy lunch program. Huh? Fast-food burgers, fries, and burritos gave way to fresh salads, meats "prepared with old-fashioned recipes," and whole grain bread. Fresh fruits were added to the menu. Good drinking water arrived. Vending machines were removed.
