The City Council has accepted the advice as set forth in this memo with the following clarification: Due to the fact that Council members are not required to maintain a City e-mail address, only the general City Council e-mail address will be disseminated by the City with an automatic response providing a weblink for individual Council contact information. While much of the advice in the attached memo is directed to individual council members, there are a couple elements which require administrative implementation as follows: 1. Only the computer equipment set forth in the memo will be available to the City Council. No additional equipment should be provided, nor should additional equipment be serviced by the City. Exceptions can be made only by the City Council. 2. Only the general City e-mail address (council~,iowa-city.orq) will be disseminated by the City on directories, business cards, etc. 3. As noted in the City's Internet/Intranet/Electronic Mail Policy, the hardware and software provided to the City Council, like the hardware and software provided to any City employee, are owned by the City. They are not the council members' private property. ITS should feel free to require that the equipment be available to them for servicing at reasonable times. Attachment cc: City Council Dale Helling Marian Karr Eleanor Dilkes mgr/mem/council-ITS doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: March 13, 2002 TO: City Council FROM: Eleanor M. Dilkes, City Attorne RE: Advice Concerning Council E-Mail Communications My advice regarding your e-mail communications is given in consideration of the following: 1. Communications via e-mail to or from the City Council or a member or members of the City Council may be public records subject to disclosure. 2. E-mail communications between members of the City Council raise issues under the State's open meetings law. 3. City equipment should be used for city, not personal business. My advice is as follows: A. A city-owned computer and e-mail address will be provided to each Council member to be used for city-related business only and the City will provide and service only that equipment. As I understand it the equipment available to a council member is as follows: Dell (or similar) Laptop computer loaded with: - Operating System 0Nindows 2000 PRO or similar) Productivity Software (Microsoft Word 97, PowerPoint 97. Excel 97, and Outlook 98 - Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 - LaserFiche Notebook Version 5.0 (electronic packet software package) - CD Copy (for use with LaserFiche) - E-Mail Address Printer (Hewlett Packard 890 or similar) Printer Cable Connection Printer Cartridge Miscellaneous equipment/software if requested: WinFax Pro Version 10.0 External Super Disk (Addonics Pocket SuperDisk 240) March 13, 2002 Page 2 B. Only the city e-mail address will be disseminated by the City (e.g. on directories, business cards, etc.) C. Council members should confine their city-related business to the computer and e-mail address provided by the City. Council members should avoid providing any personal/private e-mail address for city-related business or encouraging its use for city-related business. E. Council members replies to e-mails should advise the senders that their e-mail communications and Council's reply to those communications may be public information. F. You are discouraged from using e-mail to communicate with each other in any manner whereby a majority of you are discussing an item at the same time. To determine whether a violation of the open meetings law has occurred any occurrence would have to be examined on its own facts. However, due to the instantaneous nature of e-mail communication use of e-mail to communicate among yourselves is problematic. G. If an individual Council member chooses to reply to an e-mail sent to the Council, a copy of the reply should be provided to the City Clerk for dissemination to the entire Council. H. You are reminded that the hardware and software are owned by the City. They are not your private property. You should not consider any communication via the system to be personal and/or private. See attached City policy. I will be available to answer questions at your work session on March 18. cc: Steve Atkins, City Manager Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Marian Karr, City Clerk Gary Cohn, Information Services Coordinator Colin Hennessey, Information Technology Services Consultant eleanodmern/councilemail.doc .... Email Policy Page I of 2 CITY OF IOWA CITY INTERNET/INTRANET/ELECTRONIC MAIL POLICY Last Updated: May 25, 1999 The following represents a policy regarding access to and disclosure of activity conducted on the City's internet/intranet/electronic mail system. 1. The City owns and maintains an intemet/intranetJelectronic mail system hereafter referred to as "system." This system is provided by the City for the purpose of conducting City business. 2. The system hardware and software are owned by the City and as such are City property. Additionally, all messages composed, sent, or received on the system are and remain the property of the City. They are not the private property of any employee, and employees should not consider any communication via the system confidential, personal, and/or private. The use of the system is for the conduct of City business. Personal business or other non-job related activities should be minimized. Supervisors may further limit or restrict personal use. 4. The system shall not be used to solicit or persuade for commercial ventures, religious or political causes, outside organizations or other non-job-related solicitations, except for items posted to the City's intranet bulletin board (bulletin board guidelines and regulations are explained at the bulletin board site). 5. The system shall not be used to send (upload) or receive (download) copyrighted materials, trade secrets, proprietary financial information, or similar materials without specific prior authorization. 6. The system shall not be used to create or retrieve any offensive or disruptive messages or files. Among those which are considered offensive are any messages or files that contain any comment that offensively addresses someone's age, color, creed, disability, gender identity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. 7. The confidentiality of any activity or message should not be assumed or expected. Deleting a message may not fully eliminate the message from the system. Further, the use of passwords for security does not guarantee confidentiality. The system automatically records information such as origin, destination, content, and amount of time used. The City Manager or designee may direct Information Services staff to monitor sites accessed. The City Manager or designee also reserves the right to access, review, and audit all messages and files created, received, or sent over the system for any purpose, even after said message or file is deleted. The contents of any electronic mail or file may be disclosed without the permission or prior notification of the employee who sent or received the message or created the file. The City is not responsible if "hackers" retrieve, and make public, employee system activity. Thus, privileged or confidential material shall not be communicated via the system due to potential monitoring. 8. Employees shall not use a code, access another employee's messages or files, or retdeve or modify any stored information, unless authorized to do so by a supervisor. All computer pass codes must be provided to supervisors upon request. I have read the Intemet/IntranetJElectronic Mail Policy and agree to abide by the terms and conditions listed above. I understand the system is a privilege, not a right, and that if I violate this policy or attempt to use the system for improper purposes, I shall be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge.

Atkins Civic Center 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240 Re: Executive Hotel Group/Parcel 64-1a Dear Mr. Atkins, It has been 5 months since the Moen Group was selected as the preferred developer of Parcel 64-1a. To the best of our knowledge, a satisfactory development proposal has not been submitted to council. Accordingly, we take this opportunity to express the continuing interest of Executive Hotel Group in developing this parcel. Executive Hotel Group will pay $250,000 cash for Parcel 64-1a and at the closing will contribute $750,000 to the Johnson County Foundation earmarked for Iowa City Human Services funding. As set forth in our prior written proposal and oral presentation, we propose the development of a 10 story structure containing a hotel, restaurant, conference center (30,000 square feet) and condos. The great majority of the development will be taxed at a commercial rate which is 53% greater than the residential rate: Additionally, the 144 hotel rooms will provide hotel taxes to support city funding. If we are permitted to proceed, we are prepared to immediately meet with the Iowa City Planning Department and proceed with all due haste to complete a development agreement. We are confident that this can be accomplished in weeks, not months. We are told by our contractor, Knutson Construction Services, that the construction of our project can proceed simultaneously with the library construction and that there will likely be cost savings for both. Because of our history in the hospitality industry and the manner in which we will structure the transaction, financing will not be a problem. If you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to contact me.

The negotiations continue and are making satisfactory progress. I have forwarded a copy of your letter to the City Council. If the Moen Group negotiations were to collapse I believe it would be incumbent upon the City Council to review all three remaining proposals in order to determine the next step. In that we are in the midst of negotiations any further comments by me or other City staff could be viewed as bad faith bargaining and contrary to the direction of the City Council.

WasNngton Street Iowa Ci~, Iowa 52240 Dear Steve, I am writing to thank the City of Iowa City for helping us get at-risk students to school. We are providing bus passes to about forty students a month. The students served are clearly in need, most are involved with juvenile court or are homeless. With the discount received from the City of Iowa City, we are able to serve twice as many students. Having a bus pass really makes a difference for students with limited resources. Without a monthly pass, many of the students had sporadic attendance. Thanks again to you, Linda Severson and Ron Logsden for making this possible. Sincerely, Lane Plugge cc: Linda Severson Ron Logsden March 20, 2002 Mr. John Lenoch 3113 Court Street Iowa City, IA 52245 Dear Mr. Lenoch: This note is in response to your correspondence to the City Council dated March 15. Within the next few months, the City Council will discuss and determine whether or not to proceed with a feasibility study on public power. Your letter has been accepted as a permanent public record on this issue. Thank you for relaying your thoughts.

Dilkes, City Attorney" Re: Public Record Request I have received the following public record request from Tom Walsh at the Iowa City Gazette: "Any correspondence (written or e-mail) between members of the City Council and Dinerstein Companies and its affiliates, DJ Hammond & Associates, and Sterling House LLC (proponents of the Sterling University Housing Complex) sent or received since February 1, 2002." If e-mail was sent to Council at Council@iowa-city. org or mail came to the Council at the City's address, the City Clerk will have copies of that correspondence. If, however, any of you have communicated with the named companies individually, either by e-mail or in writing, the City Clerk will not have those documents available. Thus, need you to provide me with the same. Mr. Walsh has requested that any responsive documents be provided to him on or before Tuesday, March 26. I ask that each of you contact me no later than Monday, March 25, 2002 to indicate whether you do or do not have any correspondence (either written or e- mail) that is responsive to this request. If you do have any such documents I will need to obtain copies by that same date. As you know, I am generally not in the office on Thursdays and Fridays, and if you wou~d like to respond on those days please feel free to contact either Sarah Holecek or Andy Matthews in my office. I anticipate that this is the first of any number of requests we will receive for e-mail communications between the individual members of the City Council and others. I am currently considering the best way to handle such requests, and am discussing the same with the Information Technology Services Department. In the meantime, in order to respond to Mr. Walsh's request in a timely manner, your immediate attention will be required. I look forward to hearing from each of you. cc: Steve Atkins Dale Helling Marian Karr City Attorney staff eleanodmem/walshreq uest.doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUm-- DATE: March 19, 2002 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Marian K.

I discussed the request with Dan Swartzendruber at the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Department. We both advised Mr. McKay that the proposed use of the property does not comply with the County Zoning Ordinance or the approved plat for the following reasons: In 1999 Crestview Subdivision was rezoned to RS-5 and a subdivision was approved requiring Outlot A to be set aside as open space or agricultural use. Because of concerns about additional residential driveways onto Highway 1, the plat identified appropriate driveway locations and the driveway to Outlot A was limited to agricultural use. The proposed commercial inn exceeds what the County allows for a bed and breakfast and would require a zoning variance. I advised Mr. McKay that there were buildable lots in the Crestview subdivision that might be better suited for his project. However, he would have to resolve the zoning variance issue with the County.

Tucker Dear Mr. Brandmp, Thomas H. Gelman I have been provided with a copy of your letter dated February 28, 2002, directed to Gle~ Siders at Southgate Development Comply. Your letter pe~ains to Ga~ J. Schmit Southgate's proposed development of Napoleon Heights. I have been asked to respond on behalf of Southgate. Margaret P Winegarden First, Southgate wishes to respond to the matter of fill being placed on the Julie L. Pulkrabek prope~y. Southgate did not place the fill on ~e prope~y. Rather, Southgate pe~itted ~other developer, developing a prope~y in the general proximity, to John E. Beasiey place fill. To the best of Southgate's ~owledge ~d belief, as verified by ~e contractor, all of such fill was deposited on Southgate's property before M~chae~J. ?ugh* September 6, 2001. (Southgate has confi~ed that on or about December 20 some black di~ was spread over ~eas that had been disrupted while tr~spo~ing the fill material, but this was to even out ~d restore the original s~face and Dean D. Carrin~on should not have been beyond the depth parameters of your letter.) As such, your letter does not seem to require that ~y of the fill be removed. If it subsequently dete~ines that any fill may have been placed on the prope~y after September 15 at a depth of more than a few inches, it will contact yo~ office or the local Sarah E Swar~endruber representative, Tim Thompson, for verification of appropriate procedures. Daniel W Boyle Southgate has been made aware of the possible or likely existence of ornate box tugles on a potion of its real estate. However, the info~ation that Southgate has received has been quite anecdotal in nature. One resident of Jonson County has indicated his ~owledge of the prior existence of the ornate box tulle on this William M. ~ucker Retired prope~y ~d of the removal and relocation of an extensive potion of that population some years ago. Fu~he~ore, Tim Thompson has indicated his Charles A MCen apparent awareness of the population of box tulles, but we are unce~ain whether [1937-2001I 'in Illinois March 15, 2002 Page 2 it is firsthand knowledge or from other sources. Southgate would certainly like to have as comprehensive an understanding of this past history as possible. As such, on behalf of Southgate I am requesting to receive, copies from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources of all written surveys, investigations, reports and other materials that may relate to the existence, survey, removal and/or relocation of box turtles from the property in question. Your providing this information at your earliest opportunity will be very helpful. Any other information you could provide about ornate box turtles would be appreciated. Southgate certainly intends to abide by all the laws relating to wildlife on this property. The guidance and expertise of your department will be most appreciated. In this regard, Southgate acquired this real estate, located within the city limits of the city of Iowa City, for the purpose of development. If a portion of the real estate is not acquired, in response to Southgate's offer, by one or more groups desiring to preserve and/or restore the land as open space, then Southgate's intent is to proceed with the development of the real estate and in that process do what is necessary under the law to protect the ornate box turtle as a threatened species. We will seek your guidance in helping develop a plan that will allow Southgate to relocate the box turtles to a natural habitat where they will be able to appropriately thrive. Southgate is concerned that the population of ornate box turtles at this location, having been already reduced and being in the center of an area that will be developed as Iowa City grows, will not be conducive to their survival over the long term. Please advise Southgate as to the appropriate steps and authorizations that will be necessary to inventory, collect, transport and relocate these turtles to an appropriate location. If the land is not preserved, Southgate is willing to complete the process that was started several years ago by the former owner of the property and/or others who were apparently operating under an approved plan of the Department of Natural Resources. Your prompt response will be much appreciated. THG:kc ~ cc: Daryl Howell, Dept. of Natural Resources Southgate Development Company, Inc.

From: Brad Neumann Sent; Wednesday, March 20, 2002 2:02 PM To: 'rhearl@wvu.edu' Cc: *City Manager's Office Subject: Litter problems in Iowa City Renee, my name is Brad Neumann and I am the Solid Waste Management Planner for iowa City and Johnson County. I was given your e-mail regarding litter problems in Iowa City associated with our student population. Iowa City (pop.65,000) does have certain areas populated by students and we have the same kind of problems that you mentioned in your e-mail. Iowa City provides weekly curbside refuse and recycling collection to dwellings with 4 units or less, anything larger is handled by a private waste hauler. We collect 2 containers each week per dwelling unit (up to a 35 gal bag or can) based on the customers monthly base fee. Any additional containers require a $1 sticker on each container inoder to be collected. Bulky items, such as furniture and appliances, are collected separately by appointment and do require an additional per item fee. Our program is designed with limits on what we collect each week, based on the monthly fee, in order to make the collection program fair to everyone and no one is subsidizing the cleanup of the front yards when the students move out every semester. When the students move out everything goes on the front lawn. In these cases we try to contact the owner or manager of the property and ask that they either hire someone to pick up the refuse or put everything in a bag or can, with the $1 stickers, or the City will cleanup the mess and charge it back to the owner of the property ($100 minimum fee). Our Neighborhood Associations are currently reseamhing ways to help cleanup the neighborhoods including the student rental areas. I do not believe that they have made any recommendations at this time. The problems both of our cities are experiencing are common in college towns and we deal with them on a daily basis. I'm not sure that there is any good answer. I also think that your suggestion of putting public trash cans in these student areas would just add to your problems.

Call meeting to order; Board Members Present: Michael Bell, John Carhoff, Tim Clancy, Sing Luong, Steven Newell, Tom Nothnagle, Mike Petersen, Phil Phillips. Also present is Rene Paine, Director. The meeting was called to order at 7:07 PM by Chairman Nothnagle. 2. Agenda: The consent to the agenda was unanimous. 3. Minutes: The Minutes were approved as amended. 4. Short Public Announcements: There were none. 5. Board announcements: There were none. 6. Old business: Director Rene Paine announced that the switch over to our new address for Mediacom was not actually made as planned on 28 December, but did occur in the first week of January. Also, PATV will be changing location on the dial to channel 18 from channel 2 on the cable TV channel line-up as of the 20th of February. 7. New Business: Establish Committees: The Board decided under the proceedings of Chairman Nothnagle to create the following committees with the membership as listed here following; EXECUTTVE COMMT~I'EE: Sing L., Steve N., Tom N.(Chair), and Mike P. FINANCE COMMIe-FEE: Tim C., John C., Rene P. and Mike P. (Contact person) OUTREACH & FUNDRAISING COMMI~-I'EF: Mike B., Sing L. (Contact person), Steve N., and Tom N. Point of Order: There was a discussion of the previous meeting review of the bylaws and policy on officer transitions in position selection. Tim C. suggested referring the issue of "status of officer transitions in the bylaws" to the Executive Committee for recommendations for the Board to consider as a later meeting. There was discussion of research to list recommendations on residence requirements for leadership positions in this community TV organization; also should the bylaws state that the Chairperson is ex-officio member of all standing committees as is typical in many similar organizations. Phil P. explained that Roberts Rules of Order indicates must be said in the bylaws to be a rule of the organization. Steve N. suggested this ex-officio member policy was the type of regular and common administrative policy that PATV's organization may best respond by embracing as policy. Chairperson Nothnagle suggested that members of the Board form-up questions to be reviewed and recommended for the bylaws and next meeting we could set up a Bylaws Committee meeting. The Bylaws Committee was Tim C., Mike P. and Phil P. 8. Reports: ICTC Meeting will be at 5:30 PM, Monday, the 28th of January at Tower Place. Attendance by members of the Board is robe encouraged. Sing L. mentioned that the Outreach program could respond to the Adagio item. TREASURERS REPORT: Mike P. indicated that the numbers and analysis presented by Director Rene P. put the information in good order and there are no further questions on his part. Director Rene P. explained that we had a carry-over of about 4,000 so the actual amount that looks like 12,000 is really 8,000 at this time. Never the less, we are moved and the budget is positive numbers. The rent lease of the upstairs part of the building will be adequate to cover the mortgage payment and keep us from going into negative numbers on the budget this year. Payment has been made on carpet and electrical contractor work, and only the General Contractor items remain with any few details to still be covered so that the cost of the move and setup is now behind us for the transition to full operation in this new location. Instead of rent for the days of December that the renter occupied the upstairs space in the building an agreement has been made that the renter will pay the cost of certain room entry special door items needed upstairs. This payment-in-kind will resolve the facility adjustment needed and make records easily managed in the terms of the lease agreement which will reference the first of the year for renewal each year hereafter. MANAGEMENT REPORT: Director Rene P. suggested there should be a representative of the Board of Directors of PATV at the table of the forthcoming Mediacom franchise agreement meeting. Live -and-Locah needs a new mediator. Tom N. and Sing L. both volunteered to help facilitate the program for Live-and-Local which is every two weeks at 7:30PM on Monday evenings for one half of an hour. Lease Contract: This item was reviewed and Director Rene P. explained that all is worded to. the mutual agreement of Landlord, Leasor and Renter. The finalization will be tomorrow (Friday) and the signing will be amended with dates initialed upon the event of notarization, to designate back to the first of the Month of January as was the original agreement. Steve N. moved that the Board approve the Lease as written and explained by Director Rene P. and Mike B. seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. Tim C. abstained from this vote due to other community organization executive membership which might be considered conflict of interest. ADJOURNMENT: ;'. .

Giant Canadian Food Chain Rejects Chemical Pesticides TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, March 12, 2002 (ENS) - Canada's largest food distributor has made a public commitment to stop marketing chemical pesticides by next spring. Loblaw Companies Limited announced today that it will no longer sell chemical pesticides in all of its 440 garden centers across Canada by 2003. "In response to overwhelming consumer demand to eliminate the cosmetic use of pesticides in home gardens, Loblaw Companies Limited has decided to discontinue the sale of chemical pesticides in our garden centres, starting with the spring season 2003," said Loblaw spokesperson Geoff Wilson. The company timed its announcement to coincide with tomorrow's opening of the annual Canada Blooms Flower and Garden Show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Loblaw is the nonprofit event's presenting sponsor. "We will use this venue to launch our commitment to Chemical Pesticide Free by 2003 and to further educate gardeners on how they can enjoy a chemical pesticide free garden," Wilson said. Relaxing on the lawn does not have to be harmful to human and animal health. (Photo courtesy Nutri-Lawn) Chemical pesticides are used to control algae in swimming pools, weeds and insects in the lawn and garden, fleas on pets, ants and roaches in the house, flies and mosquitoes, wood rot, rodents, and moth damage to clothes. Environment Canada says that although homeowners use only five to 10 percent of all pesticides sold in Canada, they tend to use them inappropriately more often than commercial or agricultural users. Homeowners must be constantly aware they are dealing with hazardous chemicals and try to reduce pesticide use to a minimum, the agency advises. Pesticides have been linked to a wide range of human health hazards, ranging from short term impacts such as headaches and nausea to chronic impacts like cancer, reproductive harm, and endocrine disruption. Pesticides can cause many types of cancer in humans, and persistent health effects may occur years after even minimal exposure to pesticides in the environment. Many pesticides have been shown to damage to wild species, the Sierra Club of Canada warns. The group cites carbofuran which was banned for most uses in the late 1990s, as responsible for the near extinction of the burrowing owl. "Evidence indicates that even the family dog is a victim of pesticides. Dogs from homes with lawns that have been sprayed with pesticides have a higher than average rate of the canine equivalent of lymphoma. Cancer is now the number one cause of death in dogs," the Sierra Club says. Loblaw Companies' garden centers have carried some organic based gardening products in the past. 3/13/02 Page 2 of 2 Last year, the company approached its suppliers to develop more organic based gardening products to replace their chemical pesticides. "By the spring of 2003, we will have organic alternatives for virtually all of the chemical pesticides that we currently carry," Wilson said. For this current season, the company will offer more organic based pesticides and gardening alternatives while transitioning out of chemical pesticides. Staff will provide educational handouts and information to consumers on how they can reduce their dependency on chemical pesticides. Last year the Supreme Court of Canada established the right of municipalities to forbid the use of chemical pesticides on public and private property. On June 28, 2001, the Supreme Court upheld the town of Hudson, Quebec's bylaw 207, which bans pesticide use on public and private property for aesthetic purposes. The bylaw had been challenged in the Quebec courts and then at the Supreme Court by lawn pesticide companies after they were charged with violating the ban. Loblaws will attempt to persuade consumers that with the use of organic alternatives to chemical pesticides they can still have beautiful lawns and gardens. 3/13/02 ED REVIEW E March 15, 2002 relevant to the Intergovernmental and Corporate communiW PREPARING TOMORROW'S TEACHERS On March 5, First Lady Laura Bush hosted the White House Conference on Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers. The meeting focused on the preparation of teacher candidates at the nation's colleges of education and on professional development for teachers who have already answered the call to teach. It also highlighted new research regarding teacher preparation and student achievement, os well as alternative routes to entering the teaching profession. Research shows that children achieve at much higher levels when teachers know the subject content thoroughly and how to teach it effectively.

IMPROVING- FEDERAL STUDENT AID A day later, Deputy Secretary Bill Hansen addressed the Student Financial Assistance 2002 Spring Conference. "At the postsecondary level, 40 percent of our high school graduates do not enroll in postsecondory education," Honsen said. "That is a startling statistic when you consider that some 80 percent of the jobs that are growing and providing self-supporting salaries in our economy require some postsecondary education and training." To get results, the President's 2003 budget would make $55 billion in aid available to over 8.4 million students and parents and expand loan forgiveness from $5,000 to $17,500 for math, science, and special education teachers serving in Iow- income communities. In addition, Secretary Paige has approved renaming the Office of Student Financial Assistance to the Office of Federal Student Aid (recognizing that most financial aid does not come directly from Washington), and the administration's first student aid regulations will reduce regulatory burdens on colleges. "None of you will probably ever fully know the impact of the work you do -- the people you touch and the impact that their education will have on our society," Honsen concluded. "This is an awesome responsibility, and there is no greater calling." FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO http://www.ed.qov/Speeches/O$-2OO2/2OO20306.html. Note: At the conference, the Department kicked-off its Higher Education Act reauthorizotion efforts with a series of "town meetings."

EARLY GRADES STUDY "Children's Reading and Mathematics Achievement in Kindergarten and First Grade," third in a series of reports from the National Center for Education Statistics (NeES), shows that children begin kindergarten with different sets of knowledge and skills, depending on child, family, and school characteristics. The ones who know their letters, numbers, and shapes, are read to frequently, who demonstrate a positive approach to learning, and who are in very good to excellent health perform better in school. Further, by the spring of the first-grade, females are more likely to be reading and male are more likely to be proficient in moth (the beginnings of differences in children's performance by gender). Future reports will continue to follow the educational progress of this sample of children through fifth-grade. FOR MORE ZNFORMAT].'ON, PLEASE GO TO http://nces.ed.qov/pubs2OO2/kinderqarten/.

SCIENTIFICALLY BASED RESEARCH Speaking of research, the Department's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has released transcripts from its February 6 seminar on "scientifically based research" and its status across various disciplines. The Ale Ch//dLeft Beh/nd4ctactuolly mentions the phrase more than 100 times, so its definition and relevance to education is absolutely critical to implementation. Early morning sessions tackled such issues os: "What is Scientifically Based Evidence?" and "The Logic and the Basic Principles of Scientifically Based Research." Later, experts discussed the implications of research on reading, math, safe and drug free schools, and comprehensive school reform. Participants hailed from the National Research Council, the American Institutes of Research, and several notable universities.

REALITY CHECK 2002 For the past five years, Public Agenda has asked public school students, parents, and teachers, along with employers and college professors, to assess their own communities' progress in raising the bar for public schools. Despite headlines trumpeting a backlash to testing, "Reality Check" finds strong agreement on the useful role standardized tests can play -- and a broad consensus on how they should be used. Indeed, most students say they con handle the testing, and while o strong majority of teachers, parents, and employees soy they are worried about "teaching to the test," only one-quarter of teachers say they are actually doing it. But this year's survey also contains unwelcome news regarding social promotion, accountability, and employability. Amah9 the findings: · 82 percent of students say academic expectations in their own schools are "about right." ,Tust 11 percent say students ore expected to learn "too much." Moreover, seven in 10 students say the amount of homework they get and the number of tests they take are also "about right." · Getting by with as little effort as possible is still the modus operandi in schools. Over 70 percent of students agree that "most students do the bare minimum they need to get by." Even more important, over half say that they "could try a little harder" in school. · Majorities of teachers (6;2 percent) and employers (79 percent) say "standardized test scores are a good way to spot struggling students who need tutoring or summer school" -- even if it means testing younger students. But similar majorities agree that "far too much emphasis" is placed on test scores, and very large majorities say it would be "wrong to use just one test to decide whether a student gets promoted or graduates." · The number of middle school parents who soy their children must pass a basic-skills test to enter high school is unchanged, only o quarter of teachers soy their districts have a policy that ties educator pay to improvements in student achievement, and just iO percent report that their districts contain a persistently failing school that has been overhauled. · For the fifth year in o row, more than seven in :tO employers and professors say that students hove just fair or poor grammar and spelling and the ability to write clearly. More than six in :tO soy students are just fair or poor in basic moth. What about turning back the clock? Only one percent of teachers, two percent of parents, and two percent of employers say local schools "should discontinue their current efforts and go back to the way things were."

REAP Title VT (Part B) of the No 6~hildLeft Beh/nd Act contains three Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) initiatives that are designed to help rural districts compete effectively for federal competitive grants, as well as utilize allocations received in amounts too small to meet their intended purposes. The Alternative Uses of Funds Authority allows eligible districts to combine funding under certain programs to carry out activities under other, specified federal programs. The Small, Rural 5ch0ol Grant Proqrom authorizes the Secretory to award grants directly to eligible districts to carry out activities under other, specified programs. Finally, under the Rural and Low- Income School Proqram, the Secretary awards grants to states, which in turn awards grants to eligible districts either directly or competitively for specific activities.

QUOTE TO NOTE "We are at the beginning of an exciting new period in teaching, one in which previous assumptions and ways of doing business will be questioned. As we build a research base on this topic, one that is more specific and experimental than we have currently, we should be much better able to provide effective instruction for all children. My hope and expectation is that when my sons have children in school they will not have to experience the anxieties nor engage in the machinations my wife and I went through each year as we tried to get our children assigned to what we believed were the best teachers in the next grade. Individual differences in teachers will never 9o away, but powerful instructional systems and new, effective forms of professional development should reduce those differences to the point that every teacher should be good enough so that no child is left behind." -- OERI Assistant Secretary C~rover Whitehurst (3/5/02 UPCOMING EVENTS On May 5-7, ASPIRA will be hosting its fourth-annual Latino Education Conference m Atlantic City, New ~Tersey.
