The City/County Telecommunications Commission is expected at its Wednesday meeting to endorse $321,468 in grants for equipment and capital costs to fund a wide range of education and public assess cable programs. The recommended funding will be divided between FVTV, which operates public access Channel 11, and TV ETC, a consortium that represents public, private and state education institutions in Clark County. TV ETC programming is broadcast on channels, 27, 28, and 29.
Following the midterm elections, attention understandably focused on those parts of the South and Midwest where the Obama coalition collapsed. But a second wave of trouble is coming for the president and his party, precisely in those states where the first wave barely reached. Having experienced the revolt of red America, Democrats must now deal with the fiscal crisis of blue America. While massive state budget shortfalls are not limited to predominantly Democratic states, they are concentrated in them. "In California and New York," says John Hood of the John Locke Foundation, "the fiscal crisis flirts with bankruptcy." Explanations include rising Medicaid costs, increased spending on higher education, and the long-term challenge of funding public pensions. At the same time, says Hood, ...
Despite the rhetoric of valuing a liberal education, many institutions are implementing a business model of education as a consequence of increasing costs and decreasing state funding. Honors programs serve as one of the isolated arenas in institutions of higher education that explicitly foster and encourage a liberal arts orientation. Based on interview data, we examine honors students' learning orientation in light of this. Using the analytical concept of an "ideal type" we identify "liberal scholars," "players," "critical players," and "getting by" as the four student learning orientations expressed by honors students. Our analysis reveals that some honors students experience conflict between the business and liberal education models that co-exist at institutions of higher education ...
The Plum School board has approved a preliminary budget for 2011- 12 with no tax increase or program cuts. The $53.2 million spending plan, however, still carries a $278,132 revenue shortfall that school directors must address before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. The budget plan adopted on May 24 includes tapping the district's $4.2 million reserve fund if needed, and leaves open questions about costs and funding related to an alternative education program, Boyce Middle College High School, and hirings that may occur because of the anticipated retirement of as many as 23 teachers by the end of December.
Maryland Senate and House negotiators met in conference for the first time Thursday to reach an agreement on the fiscal 2012 budget, with the biggest battles expected over funding for higher education, property valuation costs and changes in the state's retiree prescription-drug program. The joint conference committee met to reconcile dozens of changes in language and spending made by the Senate this week to a budget passed last week by the House.
This manuscript examines the . The data set is derived from U.S. News & World Report and comprises 196 educational institutions. The combination of decreased state funding for education and increasing costs of education has increased the need to find alternative sources of funds.

CONNECTICUT'S education system is in trouble. Schools across the state lack the resources to provide all our children with an adequate education, and it shows. We have the greatest achievement gap between rich and poor students in the country, and the performance of our poor students ranks 49th among states. We can and must do better. A root cause of the problem lies in a school funding infrastructure that provides too little state aid to cities and towns and relies far too heavily on regressive local property taxes. Annually, the flawed system pits parents and the schools against other important local services and the need to hold the line on mill rates. Overburdened cities and towns are expected to bear the lion's share of education costs. Our education funding system is not only inad...
