Mississippi Department of Education 2000 Annual Report Mississippi Adequate Education Program The basic funding for Mississippi schools has long been provided through the Minimum Education Program (MEP) enacted in the 1950's. In addition to the MEP, the Uniform Millage Assistance Grants Program (1989), the Education Enhancement Fund (1992 sales tax increase legislation), and the Ad Valorem Reduction Grants were established to address long-overlooked needs of school districts in the areas of building, buses, textbooks, instructional supplies and other special needs. Because disparity still exists in the funds available for educating every child at an adequate level, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program addresses these disparities and ensures that every school district will have sufficient funds available to provide a Level III accreditation or adequate education for every child. As of January 15, 1999, the MAEP funds have resulted in State Aid Capital Improvement Bonds issued by 110 school districts in the amount of $506,916,543.

The goal of this project is to increase economic prosperity in southern Arkansas by providing professional development courses, college preparatory classes and lifelong learning opportunities. Approximately 150 students, 120 teachers and many community members will benefit from this project each semester. A compressed, interactive video system will be installed in each school district that will be used in conjunction with existing network infrastructure to provide distance learning opportunities to the twelve rural school districts. In addition, the school districts will benefit from the educational support and expertise that SEARK can provide thorough its service group of 21 total school districts.

28. IMLS: A Closer Look: Highlights Of The Month Students at South Jones Middle school in Ellisville, mississippi, created a mural tobe a onetime shot in the arm for school library media centers. http://www.imls.gov/closer/archive/hlt_c0402.htm

Collaboration Highlight for 2002 Printer Friendly Version School Libraries Get Top Marks with Help from IMLS Grants Students in schools with media centers that are well-staffed, have networked technology, and have strong collections perform better on standardized tests, according to a major study funded in part by IMLS. The Library Research Service of the Colorado State Library released a report in June 2000. It showed that state reading scores for students in schools that focused on improving their library programs were, on average, eight to 21 percent higher than similar schools without such development, even when other factors like community demographics are taken into account. Findings from this and other studies across the country prove what many in the library community already know: that school media centers can make a big difference in student achievement. Through the administration of Library Services and Technology (LSTA) grants through state library agencies, IMLS has developed a track record of support for school libraries and librarians. Many of these libraries are earning extra credit with students, teachers, principals, and communities with projects that reach underserved audiences, promote literacy and reading, improve collections, and use technology creatively. Lesson in partnership The Federal Hocking School District is located in the rural foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in southeastern Ohio. District services are spread across 250 square miles, and the public library is as far as 20 miles away from the homes of some residents. District librarian Bonnie Lackey strives to provide library services to the district's 1,444-student population, which includes many from low-income families. A coalition between the school district and the Nelsonville public library was formed as a result of LSTA funds. The coalition established the

Preliminary Guidance for Migrant Education Program, Title I, Part C Public Law 103-382 Appendix A Resources for Technical Assistance To help all children reach high academic standards, many states, school districts, and schools will need a new kind of technical assistance. They will need comprehensive assistance that is driven by the needs of families and children and that can provide tools and information to help them leverage all available resources in order to improve teaching and learning for all children. To that end, the Department is creating regional technical assistance centers to provide comprehensive, high-quality assistance and information. The Depart ment is also changing the way it relates to the field by shifting its focus from monitoring for compliance to providing support to enhance program quality. Regional Service Teams and Integrated Programs Reviews The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), which houses the Office of Migrant Education, has a new organizational structure that is built around ten regional service teams. Existing program offices, including the Office of Migrant Education, will retain a small program base, but will provide most services to OESE grantees through teams that have staff with expertise in OESE's programs. This new structure signals a new relationship with states and local operating agencies. Rather than focus on providing program-specific advice, the restructured OESE will use cross-program teams to encourage and support state and local efforts to integra te services and collaborate across programs. In anticipation of this change, OESE began in 1994-95 to conduct integrated reviews of federally funded education programs. Integrated reviews are on-site observations and assessments performed by a team of s taff members from two or more program offices within the Department. Each focused on the progress of systemic reform efforts within a state and explored how individual federal programs fit within that broad reform effort. The Office of Migrant Education participated in all of the initial integrated reviews.
