41. SEDL Letter Volume X, Number 2: New Policies For Southwestern Schools - More Mon Although lawmakers focused on improving traditional k12 public schools, four ofthe five oklahoma's voucher and charter school legislation failed. http://www.sedl.org/pubs/sedletter/v10n02/moremoney.html

Editor's Note From Statehouse to Schoolhouse More Money for Schools, Less Consensus on Allocations Dialing up Discounts: The New E-Rate Rings Up Discounted Internet and Telecommunications Services for Schools The E-Rate in the South and Southwest Resources for School Policy-Making SEDL Staff Accomplishments, Publications, Activities ... New Policies for Southwestern Schools More Money for Schools, Less Consensus on Allocations The issues highlighted during the 1997 regular legislative sessions in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas indicate state government echoed the public's concerns about the quality of K-12 education. With budget surpluses adding as much as $14.2 billion to 1997 state coffers across the nation, according to a September report in the Washington Post, states gained flexibility to invest more in public programs, including education. At the same time, some legislative actions sought to expand public choices in schooling. Lawmakers in all five states increased public school budgets, with Arkansas standing out by devoting nearly half its annual budget to K-12 education. Except for New Mexico every state in the region increased teacher salaries or placed teachers on salary schedules that reward years of experience. Other educator-focused laws require criminal-background checks for people seeking certification as Arkansas and New Mexico school personnel and enhance professional development opportunities for Texas teachers and Louisiana school administrators. It seems lawmakers recognized that a high-quality school work force is necessary for improving public education, and they crafted policies to achieve that end.

Garrett: Bond Funds for Schools Needed, Releases Plan for More Science Labs, Computers Contact: Shelly Hickman , Media Relations Director Date: June 11, 1999 State Superintendent Sandy Garrett said today K-12 and vocational-technical schools should be included in a proposed state capital improvements bond issue. Funds are needed to help public schools comply with the unfunded mandates of a new education law, and assist them in preparing over 628,000 students for the wider range of core coursework. Though schools will be required to comply with a vast number of new mandates next school year, they received less than a 1 percent increase in state-appropriated funds to do so. Garrett proposed adding $200 million to the bond proposal to be used for needed K-12 science laboratories and classroom computers. More science laboratories are needed for schools to comply with a new law and industry-acceptible computers are needed to assist schools in providing more courses and more rigorous courses through Internet and long-distance learning opportunities. -SDE- Return to The News of Oklahoma Education

Certainly not school teachers, who can't afford to waste precious classroom time while students stare at a half-blank computer screen, waiting for a virtual museum tour to finish loading. But if all goes as planned, K-12 students in California may soon have access to an array of rich content previously unavailable to them due to the limitations of slow bandwidth. The Digital California Project provides $3.6 million a year for a broadband network to wire all of the state's 11,000 K-12 schools. Funded by the state of California, the project is scheduled to be completed by June 2002. The DCP will work in conjunction with programs being developed by The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California, a nonprofit organization that helps educational institutions acquire high-capacity Internet communications services.
