Extractions: Private vs. Public Schools: What's the Difference? Your goal is to find a school that will meet your child's needs. But how do you choose between a public school and a private school? Start here to learn about the differences between public and private education. By Victoria Thorp and Jesse James, GreatSchools.net Staff Cost Public schools cannot charge tuition. They are funded through federal, state and local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community. Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According to the 2001-2002 annual survey of the National Association of Independent Schools, the median tuition for private schools in the United States is close to $11,000 for grades 1 to 3, $12,000 for grades 6 to 8 and $14,000 for grades 9 to 12. Parochial schools generally charge somewhat less. Admissions

Extractions: The Colorado Institute of Technology provides grants to organizations that serve Colorado teachers and students in kindergarten through 12th grade. These programs focus on mathematics, science and technology education. The organization is particularly interested in programs that use innovative ways to bring technology into the classroom. In 2001 CIT gave $500,000 in grants to 16 programs. Half of that amount was dedicated to programs aimed at students in grades 10 through 12. Added Helen Tueffel, the program's marketing director, "We are being very practical in how every dollar is spent. We want to influence every person who can be reached. There are a lot of cities that people don't think about when they think of Colorado. We think about the underserved population, such as women, as well as populations that might not be as well represented in the technology industry."

Extractions: Subject: Setting a Colorado Arts Statistical Record Straight Note: A Little while back, Artslynx and others reported on what had been presented to us as an alarming trend in the reduction of K-12 arts teachers in the state. While so many of us merely accepted the numbers as true, I am pleased to see the spirit of skeptical inquiry alive and well in our arts and educational communities of Colorado. Read below to see an excellent clarification and analysis of where Colorado does stand in terms of its number of teachers in the arts. Thank you Jacquie Kitzelman of The Colorado Department of Education and Anthony Radich of WESTAFF for helping to correct the record. On The Number of K-12 Art Teachers in Colorado A Statement of Clarification and Correction In the recently completed study of the economic impact of the arts in Colorado, an unintended error was made in the reporting of the number of K-12 arts teachers in the state. The study, which was conducted by WESTAF, a Denver-based organization, cited a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) report when it noted that between 1970 and 1990, the number of Visual Arts, Drama, and Music teachers in Colorado had declined by 61%. This reported percentage decline was misleading, due to the mislabeling of a table in the NEA report from which it was drawn. The 61% decline actually refers to post-secondary teachers of Visual Arts, Drama, and Music, and does not represent the number of K-12 arts teachers in Colorado's K-12 schools.

Extractions: "This is the beginning of an exciting initiative that will help bring the benefits of technology to our schools," said Gov. Owens. "We want public and private schools in Colorado to advance from limited technology use to increased student achievement through the effective, wide-spread integration of technology throughout the state." For example, the recent focus on accountability and standards testing will require that administrators use technology to create, store and disseminate this new information to teachers. Superintendents and principals will be better able to support their teachers by having an understanding on how to analyze this test data to help increase student achievement.

Extractions: Education Welcome to the Citizen Explorer Satellite project! This project is an exciting experiment in science, technology, and education involving the University of Colorado and K-12 schools throughout the state of Colorado and the United States. We are still in the beginning stages of this project and are always looking for new schools and/or teachers to help us develop a dynamite program! The objective of the project is to: develop a series of Earth-orbiting satellites that observe different aspects of the environment use these satellites to motivate K-12 students to further explore math, science, and technology integrate the excitement of space into the classroom produce a global, environmental science database through cooperative educational opportunities. The first satellite of the Citizen Explorer project has already been designed and is currently being built. This satellite will measure ozone from space using a spectrophotometer and students will measure UV and pollution from the Earth using hand-held instruments. All of the participating schools will be serving as "mission control centers" for the satellite. A ground station consisting of an antenna, a computer, and a receiver will be located at each school and will receive and process data from the satellite. All of the satellite data will also be sent to CU via the World Wide Web to be processed further and to be stored on a database. The students will be taking UV radiation measurements with a hand-held UV meter, and monitoring particulate pollution. These measurements will also be sent to CU because they are needed along with the satellite data to determine the amount of ozone above a school/area. With students collecting ozone data from across the state and maybe even the world, we will be able to create global maps of ozone coverage.

At The Capitol colorado's complex education funding picture. Our student population continues togrow. More than 107,500 new students enrolled in our k12 schools between 1988 http://www.coloradoea.org/AtTheCapitol/c3.cfm
Extractions: Hispanic and other minority students account for about two-thirds of the increases each year, pressuring schools to provide help for low income students and those with language and cultural differences. Of the total K-12 enrollment, 11% of students receive special education services and 23% come from low income families (defined as qualifying for free or reduced lunch programs). The number of students in these two categories continues to grow each year. For many districts, the solution to rapid student enrollment increases is larger class sizes. The number of classroom teachers per 1,000 students continues to decrease each year. Many school buildings in Colorado are old and in disrepair. A 1996 study found that by 2000, 81% of existing school buildings will be 20 years old or older. The study put a $2.4 billion price tag on K-12 capital construction needs. Currently, no state money is allocated for K-12 capital construction. Capital construction for higher education is also an issue. Funding for new buildings and renovations on public university and college campuses comes from the state where there is nearly always competition with other state needs such as prisons and highways. More than two-thirds of all state government buildings are higher education facilities. These facilities have documented maintenance and construction needs of more than $1 billion over the next five years.
