If you have a child in school, you think about them getting there and back safely and there are PTA meetings, extra-curricular activities, parent-teacher meetings. And if you don't have children in school, the building is still a center of civic activity where people of all ages meet and participate in the life of a community: it is where you vote, where community car washes are held, where neighborhood meetings take place. Schools serve as artistic and cultural centers, recreational facilities and town halls. Schools act as community anchors and contribute to a neighborhood's vitality. For all of these reasons, they are magnets for residential and commercial development, pulling and holding communities together. A disheartening trend has developed that reduces the accessibility and community identity of schools. Many new school facilities are being built on the edge of cities, far from the neighborhoods they are intended to serve. These "sprawl schools" result from a number of misconceptions: that new schools are superior to old schools; that each school must be built on large tracts of land; and that each school must accommodate vast numbers of students. Sprawl as a result of school location can lead to the abandonment of once-vital neighborhoods, stagnation of property values in central cities, loss of open space, and increased reliance on automobiles.

UWM Home SOE Home Contact Us Site Map ... Specializations Designed for those individuals seeking advancement in the field of Education and Media Technology, this program combines the disciplines of Library and Information Science and Urban Education, providing the highest levels of education in each field to prepare leaders and consultants in research, education, and management in this new and rapidly growing field. Graduates apply their skills in a variety of settings, such as institutions of higher education; public or private school settings; federal, state or local government agencies; community organizations; and the private sector. The need for doctoral graduates with expertise in educational and media technology is apparent in today's information and technology-driven society: Knowledge of information technology is vital in learning environments for both educators and learners. Teachers must keep up to date in technology itself and also in its value and applications to learning. The rapid pace of technological change affects schools and libraries and necessitates evaluation and preparation for change. The value of information in the information society requires that intermediaries be able to restructure the information to increase its intellectual and physical accessibility. Graduates of this program will have the interdisciplinary preparation in education and in library and information science to assess and forecast information needs and to use educational and media tools to meet those needs.

Wisconsin's Common School Fund What can be purchased with the Common School Fund? Wisconsin Statutes (43.70(3)) provide money generated by the Common School Fund for the purchase of library books and other instructional materials for school libraries in accordance with rules prescribed by the state superintendent. The term library materials implies that the items must be housed in the library media center (except when borrowed), listed in the library media center catalog, accessible to all students and teachers in the building, and circulated in the normal manner. Library materials excludes textbooks and those items that function as textbooks. It also excludes equipment and items that function as equipment. Today, many instructional materials are in electronic format and may be housed in a distant database and simply accessed from library media centers. The statutory language must be interpreted to apply to the new media and, at the same time, remain true to its principles. The examples that follow are based on these principles. The numbers in parentheses are the object codes from the Wisconsin Uniform Financial Accounting Requirements (WUFAR). The function code for the library media program is 222 000. Eligible Not Eligible Audiovisual materials for the Library Media Center (LMC), e.g. audiocassettes, videocassettes, CDs, laserdiscs, DVDs (431)

Wisconsin's Common School Fund Questions and Answers January 2004 1. What is the Common School Fund? It is one of the State Trust Funds managed by the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands and available for loans to school districts and municipalities. Currently over $400 million is available in the Common School Fund. The interest earned on the loans is disseminated as Library Aid each year to school districts for purchase of library materials. For information on borrowing from the State Trust Funds, contact Coletta DeMuth at coletta.demuth@bcpl.state.wi.us or Bruce Vande Zande at bruce.vandezande@bcpl.state.wi.us 2. What does the future look like for the Common School Fund? There have been attempts to divert the fund to other uses, change the allocation formula, or reduce the growth of the fund's principal. The 1997-99 state budget capped the library aid distribution at $14.3 million, diverting the remainder to the Technology for Educational Achievement in Wisconsin (TEACH WI) program to fund educational technology. The 1999-2001 state budget reversed this direction, allowing once again all of the interest earned through the loan program to be disbursed as Library Aid. 3. Is Common School Fund money for library purchases only?

30. Wisconsin's Public School Buildings Library media Center Six percent of wisconsin s school buildings do not have a separate space for a library/media center. Of these http://www.weac.org/resource/may96/bldngs.htm

WEAC Research Paper Wisconsin's Public School Buildings Over the past decade, there have been numerous studies which have concluded that a significant proportion of the nation's school buildings have problems related to inadequate maintenance, obsolescence, environmental hazards, overcrowding, and unsound structure. Buildings with these characteristics are most likely to be found in urban and rural school districts. Because not much was known about Wisconsin's school buildings, the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators (AWSA) and the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) jointly participated to gather information in three areas: Building Characteristics, Student Programs and Services, and Working Conditions. Questionnaires were developed and sent to all building principals during the spring and fall of 1994. The final data set included questionnaires from at least one principal in 345 of the state's 427 districts (a "district return rate" of 81%). As for the buildings themselves, information was collected for slightly fewer than 60% (1,127) of the total number of buildings in the state. The Bottom Eight and One-Half Percent In general, principals report that most school buildings in Wisconsin are in reasonably good shape. However, slightly more than ten percent of the buildings (10.2%) were identified by the principals as being in poor physical condition. Statewide, this represents about 206 buildings. Likewise, about one-fourth of all buildings (27.3% or 552 throughout the state) were judged as not meeting student and program needs.

Knowing the components of media centers, including media-production areas, is key to understanding what media centers can become. Media centers have always been people places. Making those spaces as congenial as possible while remaining flexible remains of utmost importance. Planning for flexibility mandates that media centers have as few internal walls as possible. The corresponding lighting pattern must be just as flexible. Libraries traditionally require two types of lighting: general and task specific. While this remains true, the infusion of technologies into media centers creates new circumstances and rules for lighting needs. As an example, a diagonal pattern for ceiling lighting offers flexibility by allowing for good illumination no matter how the library stacks are arranged or rearranged or even if they no longer function as stack areas. Running the lighting down the stack aisles definitely would limit future design options. Similarly, placing diagonal ceiling-lighting installations on separate controls also helps with creating special lighting areas. Making use of natural daylight in reading areas is a longtime tradition of library/media center design, and deservedly so. Yet also consider that while relying in part on natural light for daytime reading and activities works well, additional lighting will be needed if the media center is open for nighttime activities. Even if the facility does not have regular evening hours, more than likely there will be after-work parent open houses and meetings of outside groups there in the evening.

Select One On-line Media Kit Contact Info U.S. Supreme Court Lets Stand Wisconsin School Choice Decision WEB RELEASE: November 9, 1998 CONTACT: John Kramer (202) 955-1300 [School Choice] Washington, D.C. -The Institute for Justice, the Washington, D.C.-based public interest law firm that is defending the constitutionality of school choice programs in six states, indicated it was not surprised that the U.S. Supreme Court decided today not to review the June ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholding the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. "The families who are enjoying the benefits of this wonderful program can rest a little easier," declared Clint Bolick, litigation director of the Institute for Justice. "Three years of legal uncertainty finally are over." The Institute, along with Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson's office as well as Landmark Legal Foundation, successfully defended Milwaukee's school choice program. Still, constitutional issues remain. School choice cases are pending before state supreme courts in Vermont, Ohio, Maine, and Arizona. As in Wisconsin, the Institute for Justice is defending school choice in each state.
