Education Education is the primary prevention program. Unfortunately, as the government spends less and less on education, only the wealthy can afford it. As the "haves" gain more education, the "have-nots" are left in worse and worse predicaments. The problem appears to be spiraling out of control: The more money is spent on the prison system, the less can be spent on education; the less spent on education, the more the less-educated there will be in the population; the more there are less-educated in the population, the more crime will increase; and the more crime increases, the more prisons need to be built. At some point, we have to end the cycle. The following are some statistics and comments from books and articles on the costs of education. PLEASE SEND US NEW DATA AND ARTICLES IF YOU HAVE THEM. California ranks 50th among states in education funding California ranks last in ratio of staff to students. Nearly one in ten students will be turned away from California's community colleges in the next decade. 1994 tuition and fees more than 100 percent of 1976 ... Other countries starting to surpase U.S. in advanced education California ranks 50th among states in education funding In the second annual rating of the nation's public schools by Education Week, a Washington-based weekly, California's marks fell slightly, from B- to C+ in teacher quality and from D- to F in school climate and funding. The 270-page study, funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, said that California's middling to failing performance can be traced in large part to a problem seen across the nationstruggling urban schools that have far more poor students and underqualified teachers than their counterparts in suburban and rural areas.

Resources STAR / API RESULTS DATABASE For the most current STAR information visit the following sites: http://star.cde.ca.gov/ or http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ The STAR program requires that all California public school students, in grades 2 through 11, take a single standardized achievement test each spring to measure achievement in basic academic skills. The Stanford Achievement Test, Ninth Edition, Form T (Stanford 9), published by Harcourt Brace Educational Measurement, was designated by the State Board of Education as the STAR standardized achievement test. STAR Augmentation Results The STAR augmentation refers to the addition of test items to the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program. This created a new test that more closely addresses the content standards adopted by the State Board of Education. Student answers to these additional items were combined with their answers to a selection of questions from the Stanford Achievement Test, Ninth Edition, Form T (Stanford 9). These combined scores will reflect California's content standards. Academic Performance Index In January 2000, public schools throughout California received their first Academic Performance Index (API) reports. The API measures the academic performance and progress of schools. Annual growth targets for future academic improvement are determined for schools based on the API. Schools that reach their annual targets will be rewarded. School that do not meet their targets will be eligible for interventions or subject to sanctions and challenges.

Links High Performance Schools According to the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), "Nearly 6.2 million children, teachers, and administrators—1/5 of California's population—spend their day inside a school." With such a large portion of the population spending so much time inside schools, both the design and the construction of high performance schools are gaining popularity. What are high performance schools? K-12 Schools Higher Education Case Studies What are high performance schools? High performance schools join together the very best of today's design strategies and building technologies, as well as: Provide a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Conserve energy, resources, and water. Function as a teaching tool. Serve as a community resource for neighborhood meetings and functions. Ensure easy maintenance and operation. Create a safe and a secure educational atmosphere. Also, high performance schools are cost-effective and help to protect the environment. K-12 Schools In 2000, the California Department of Education identified a shortfall of over 430 new schools necessary to accommodate the state's growing K-12 population. Over the next five years, $3.3 billion per year in school funding will be required to meet the new construction, modernization, and deferred maintenance needs in California. As school expenses rise, it becomes even more important to find new ways to minimize cost. High performance schools are an innovative and cost-effective alternative in controlling operation and maintenance expenses.

Are Parents Boycotting Public Schools? Tuesday, May 07, 2002 By Wendy McElroy Take your children out of public schools. OAS_AD('Middle'); That's what James Dobson, founder of the conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, told more than five million American listeners in a March 28 broadcast of his daily radio show. Why are they discontented? Some parents worry about the lack of religious or "moral" values; other parents point to low academic standards or bias against male students. (Dobson objected to "homosexual propaganda" that teaches, for example, that "bisexuality is normal.") The common denominator is that parents wish to choose the values and standards by which their children are educated. The campaign against public schools snowballed April 9 when the popular radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger declared, "I stand with Dr. James Dobson." Indeed, Dr. Laura did not restrict her comments to California. "Take your kids out of public schools," she advised. The same day, in his Christian talk show Point of View — broadcast over 360 American radio stations — Marlon Maddoux added his agreement.

DOE's National Alternative Fuels Hotline Petroleum-Fueled School Buses U.S. school buses carry their precious cargoes across 5 billion miles each year. Most of those miles are traveled by buses using diesel and gasoline. Nearly 60 percent of the nation's school buses run on diesel while 40 percent run on gasoline. Buses that run on these petroleum-based fuels expose: School budgets to potential price hikes in oil Local and global communities to environmental problems. Children to potentially dangerous emissions. Health Effects of School Bus Emissions When combusted, all petroleum-based fuels release potentially harmful substances. Diesel-fueled school buses may pose a greater health risk, as their exhaust is high in particulates. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies particulates as probable human carcinogens. Particulates are also increasingly associated with lung diseases, such as asthma.
