This domain has grown very large and there is concern about the administrative load and system performance if the current growth pattern is continued. Consideration is being taken to subdivide the COM domain and only allow future commercial registrations in the subdomains. [ .EDU Educational Institutions This domain was originally intended for all educational institutions. Many Universities, colleges, schools, educational service organizations, and educational consortia have registered here.

O VERVIEW OF E DUCATION IN T EXAS Released: September 7, 1998 This is the first in a series of reports about public education in Texas. This series of reports, produced by the Center for Public Policy Priorities as part of the Texas Kids Count Project is entitled Measuring Up: The State of Texas Education . It explores issues in education of Texas children, with an emphasis on low-income and disadvantaged children in public schools. This introductory report summarizes many of the challenges faced by students in Texas, as well as challenges faced by the schools they attend. The topics for this overview and the subsequent reports in this series were suggested during meetings and discussions with policymakers and education experts. Each of the topics touched on in this first overview report will be addressed in more detail in upcoming releases. Topics of future reports will include: Overview of Texas Education School finance Student Assessment and Performance The Debate Over Dropouts: How Many are There? ... Parental Involvement In Education Children with Special Needs Technology in Schools Each report will provide an issue-specific analysis including relevant statistics for each county and descriptions of educational reforms and model programs for improving children’s education. The information for these reports comes from an extensive literature review, data from state and federal agencies such as the Texas Education Agency and the U.S. Census, and interviews with experts in the field. Most of the information reported here is from the 1996-7 school year and is the most recent data available. Over the next several months

October 6, 2000 No. 108 BUDGETING FOR TOMORROW As preliminary budget hearings wrap up, burgeoning needs for 2002-03 emerge Although the 77 th Legislative Session is months away from starting, the state budget-writing cycle for the 2002-2003 biennium is about halfway over. This Policy Page BUDGET PROCESS UPDATE Despite a robust economy, state resources to meet growing needs in a growing state and to address long-neglected problems will apparently be limited, at best. This unsettling reality is beginning to sink in as lawmakers prepare for the coming session. Readers may be surprised to realize how difficult the coming budget deliberations are likely to be, but it is important to remember that the two-year state budget is now approaching $100 billion. It will not merely be a matter of how much money is available but how investments in meeting human needs are prioritized. Policy Pages and alerts will keep you informed of those developments as they emerge.

Sonceria "Sonny" Messiah-Jiles Task Force Commissioner Texas' workforce development system is designed to serve all Texas workers and job-seekers as well as more than 431,000 employers. The system includes 11 state agencies, the state's public universities and community colleges, the Governor's Office, county judges, mayors, local school districts, four federal agencies, local service providers, community and nonprofit organizations, proprietary schools, labor unions, employers, employees, job-seekers and students. These are stakeholders in a system that provides eligibility determination services, job training and training grants, literacy training, child care, subsidized employment, tax credits, unemployment insurance, on-the-job training, vocational education, job posting and placement services, labor market information, skills standards certification and enforcement and interpretation of labor laws. Texas will invest about $2.9 billion in the state's workforce development system in fiscal 2000. Of this, about $1 billion or 34 percent is appropriated to the Texas Workforce Commission. Another $618 million represents the Texas Education Agency's investment in secondary career and technology education, adult education and the Windham School System (the prison school system). Post-secondary career and technology education will receive about $794 million, while workforce services for individuals with disabilities account for another $318 million. Federal funding will supply 47 percent of the $2.9 billion total.

December, 2000 Carole Keeton Rylander Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Recommendations of the Texas Comptroller Chapter 1: Electronic Government Establish an Electronic Grants System Summary At least 35 state agencies distribute state or federal grants to various programs and organizations, largely through paper processes. A statewide electronic grants management system could streamline this process, saving time and paper, increasing data accuracy, and improving the allocation of state and federal funding. Background In Texas, at least 35 state agencies distribute state-funded or federal pass-through grants, or both, largely through paper-driven processes. These grants support programs in state and local government, university research, nonprofits, and other organizations. Paper-driven processes consume large amounts of paper and are subject to more problems with inconsistency and data entry errors, than electronic processes. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) addressed problems with its paper-driven processes with a streamlined, automated system, the Integrated Grants Management System/Partnership 2000 (IGMS/P2000). Toward a Grants Management System in Texas EGTAW members include information technology (IT) staff from state agencies as well as agency grants staff who are knowledgeable about IT issues. The group met for the first time in July 2000 to discuss barriers to the creation of an electronic grants system, outline an implementation plan for such a system, and share information. The group will present a concept paper to agency heads to get their approval for development of an electronic grants system and will report on its work to the 2001 Legislature.

NEWS RELEASE Date: January 26, 2001 Media Contact: Bill Wyatt Gene Rose State Legislators Eager to Work with President Bush on Education Reform High standards, accountability follow state education policy trends WASHINGTON, D.C. President George W. Bush 's recently released education reform proposal is a reflection of many of the policy positions of the nation's state lawmakers, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) said today. "Overall, state legislators should be heartened by President Bush's education proposal," said Virginia Delegate James Dillard , chair of NCSL's Education, Labor and Workforce Development Committee . "President Bush's plan is pragmatic and results oriented. It also emphasizes accountability, something state policymakers have been doing for a decade." Over the years, state legislatures have established high academic standards, implemented accountability measures and expanded charters schools in nearly all 50 states. President Bush's proposal, which was modeled after Texas' education reform measures, echoes similar themes.

The proposal is said to increase the state’s share of school funding, to redefine equity, and to eliminate sharing of local tax dollars between districts. The plan is not expected to be released for several days. Yesterday the Senate approved a paperwork reduction bill, SB 13 by Senator Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo).

What do these changes mean for districts, states, regional education agencies, and companies? Specifically, how do these changes affect the types of data states, districts, and schools use to justify technology plans and purchases? How do these changes affect product development cycles and requirements? What systems for warehousing, analysis, and management already populate the market? What can we learn from various state and district pilot projects? How much is innovation threatened by new demands for research-based decisions? What happens to student privacy rights in school-level data collections? What new partnerships and alliances make sense now? These urgent issues were discussed recently in a forum jointly presented by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) This half-day event was held in conjunction with the NSBA T+L conference, November 12, 2002, at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
