    These new guidelines from the Virginia Board of Education are a perfect example of passing the buck....when the board initially created these guidelines in January, they were very explicit and strict and there was a lot of backlash to it.(http://www.doe.virginia.gov/boe/meetings/2011/01_jan/agenda_items/item_j.pdf) Now if you read the March guidelines, you can clearly see that the board is now asking local boards to define and create policies regarding social networking interactions between students and staff. Seems similar to feds asking states to define mandates, doesn't it?

ADMS707 Niemeyer Federal Funding Cuts

shared by REL N on 14 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • Striving Readers, a program to boost literacy rates among middle- and high-school students, takes a $250 million hit,
  • some programs not only were spared but will get more money than the administration was looking for. The Teaching of Traditional American History, designed to help fund classes devoted to U.S. history, will lose $73 million from 2010 levels but will get $46 million more this year than the administration requested.
  • Adult education will be cut by $31 million
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • But the GOP is looking for bigger cuts and wants to reduce Pell Grant spending to “pre-stimulus levels,” cutting the annual federal allocation by about half while blaming Democrats for doubling the size of the program since Mr. Obama took office.

    Yipppeeee! 90% of school board members are "concerned about an overly narrow focus on achievement." There may be a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.

    It is interesting that school board members are only "lukewarm" about certain "structural" changes such as school choice, charter schools, and year-round schooling.

  • While it's absolutely essential to live within our means ... we can't sacrifice our future in the process," he told reporters while touting some targeted new education spending.

    Virginia's public education system's fourth place ranking in Education Week's annual Quality Counts report. The rankings are based on four critical areas: the chance for success, K-12 achievement, school finance, and policies related to transitions and alignment.

    Sadly... none of the states got an A or A-. Alas, MS is no longer dead last. Granted they have the lowest C- possible. I know we say that grades are not everything but it is sad that there are no "A" states and our national average is mediocre at best. And, this is not a comparison to other developed countries....

    Along the lines of Dr Becker's latest video regarding power and decision makers, the acceptance of ROTC programs by higher ed can lead to increased federal funding. With the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" some universities are claiming to be more open to the ROTC programs being housed at their campus.
