Kentucky Afield News Release November 6, 1996 NOVEMBER IS GUN SAFETY MONTH In grade schools around the state children are finding out about Eddie Eagle. He's the mascot for gun safety and the star of a program taught by Kentucky State Police (KSP) Public Affairs officers, according to Lieutenant Jerry Nauert of the KSP in Frankfort. November is Gun Safety Month and the Kentucky State Police along with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) have joined together to promote it. They will be in the schools teaching gun safety through the conservation education classes and Eddie Eagle programs. "The Eddie Eagle program focuses on gun-proofing your child rather than merely child-proofing your gun," says Mac Lang, KDFWR Hunter Education Administrator. It is a program that reaches over one million kids each year. The Eddie Eagle program is taught in schools and civic organizations to make children aware of the dangers of firearms and what to do in real situations where guns are involved. It is geared toward first through sixth graders. Teachers and police officers can receive free NRA Eddie Eagle teaching material by calling 1-800-336-7402. These gun safety programs do not promote or discourage guns in general. Fifth and sixth graders will also learn about gun safety through the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife's Conservation Education program. The program is taught by Conservation Education Program Leaders and reaches Kentucky schools with fifth and sixth grade classes. In November, leaders will focus on gun safety.

FRANKFORT, Ky. The Patton administration lowered its estimate of the state budget shortfall through mid-2004 by $115 million yesterday and said the state can fully fund its commitment to public schools in the current fiscal year. Administration officials told a meeting of the House and Senate budget committees that the state can avoid deep spending cuts for now, but a $394 million shortfall remains for next fiscal year beginning July 1. ''It's not painless. But yes, we feel that we can offer a proposal and are offering a proposal to balance the current year without the types of across-the-board cuts that had been feared,'' said acting Budget Director Mary Lassiter.

Newsletter sign-up Hats off to Kentucky schools 'On Target for Life' teaches archery history, safety, technique, concentration, self-improvement, with actual archery instruction By James A. Swan, Ph.D. Author "In Defense of Hunting" On May 9, 2001, at Oldsmar Elementary School near Tampa, Fla., a fifth-grade student was handcuffed, taken into police custody and suspended from school for drawing pictures of weapons. It was the same punishment if he had brought a real gun to school. March 24, 2001, a third grader in West Monroe, La., was suspended for three days for drawing a picture of a soldier holding a knife in a fort with rifles and handguns. These disciplinary actions are the result of a "zero-tolerance" policy many schools have installed as a way to curb school shootings. When a kid brings a weapon to school to commit a crime, this is a criminal act, and they should be punished.

NAVIGATOR AD Click below! Thursday, September 14, 2000 OnCampus/News EDUCATION Testing system survives two-year transition in Kentucky schools From the old to the new: New CATS testing system replaces plagued KIRIS system ASSOCIATED PRESS FRANKFORT - The system devised to assess how Kentucky schools are doing their job, and to hold each school accountable for its results, is emerging from an awkward phase. Test scores being released statewide to the public on Sept. 28 are the last act of a two-year transition from old to new, from the often criticized system known as KIRIS to a new system with the rah-rah acronym of CATS. The scores hold immediate meaning for individual schools in two ways: • Each school will find out its "baseline" - where it begins and how far it must go to reach a prescribed, state-mandated level of proficiency by 2014. • Schools that exceeded performance expectations during the transition will divide up $22 million in reward money. In the big scheme, the baseline might be more significant. "Since we're going to be held accountable for a certain performance level, you need to know your beginning point," Kay Freeland, superintendent of Rowan County schools, said last week.

What We've Learned Professional Development Other Research FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact Carolyn Witt Jones, executive director, the Partnership for Kentucky Schools at 859-455-9595 Quality Training for Teachers a Vision, not yet a Reality, in Kentucky With the exception of programs such as the Kentucky Writing Project, which emphasize intensive training and ongoing support, professional development for the state's teachers still is "quite conventional in many respects," relying on short-term and fragmented strategies for boosting test scores that do not lead to significant improvements in instruction or learning. At the same time, Kentucky educators seem to have a "broader and deeper understanding of professional development" than in years past, which is a promising sign for the future. Those are among the major conclusions of "Mapping Professional Development Opportunities," a new study released today by the Partnership for Kentucky Schools, a coalition of business, government, and community leaders established in 1991 to promote public support and understanding of the Kentucky Education Reform Act. The study, part of ongoing research sponsored by the Partnership, was made possible by grants from the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. "Competing agendas, providing adequate time for professional development, getting teachers to recognize the need for strengthening their content knowledge, obtaining buy-in from entire faculties, and finding good opportunities for teacher learning were the biggest barriers to effective professional development," write Thomas B. Corcoran, Claire Passantino, and Gail Gerry in their report of practices in mathematics and language arts classes. Their study is based on extensive interviews with providers and coordinators of state and district professional development for Kentucky's public schools in 1999 and 2000.

ALL "A" CLASSIC The groundwork for the Kentucky All-A-Classic was formed in 1980 through the efforts of coaches like Stan Steidel of Dayton, Father Ed Heile of Covington Latin, Bill Frey of Covington Holy Cross and others. The inception of a small school basketball tournament began in January of 1980. The first Class "A" Tournament was held at Holy Cross High School in Latonia with eight teams. In 1981 it moved to Bellevue with ten teams, all from Northern Kentucky. The 1982 to 1989 Classic went statewide by inviting six Class A schools from around the state to compete with the ten northern Kentucky schools. In 1990 the All "A" Classic experienced a dream come true. A statewide championship tournament with sixteen boys regional tournament winners competing in Lexington in February. Then in 1991 the All "A" Classic expanded to include the field of 16 boys' regional winners and included four girls' sectional winners competing in the statewide finals. In 1992, the statewide tournament again expanded to included eight girls' teams and in 1993 included the full complement of 16 boys and 16 girls teams. The Classic is certainly much more than athletic events for basketball teams. Presently governed by the

Volleyball UK Athletics Prospectives Camps Compliance Blueprint Newsletter ... Media Center Community Outreach It is a privilege to be a student-athlete at a major university. Among the benefits that each student-athlete accrues are significant learning experiences that teach important lessons. None is more important than learning to give back to the individuals and to the community that have supported and cheered the student-athlete. The University of Kentucky has a community and school outreach program that was intended to provide support for young people. The program was viewed as a "one-way" effort, with the student-athlete giving and the community and schools receiving. What actually happened was far more than that. As UK's "Cats That Care" community and school outreach program has grown over the years, one of the most notable results is the manner in which the student-athletes learn about themselves and grow emotionally. They really do receive by giving. "Cats That Care" has expanded to include many worthwhile programs: Athletes in Service to America This AmeriCorps program addresses the issues of school success and violence prevention in hopes of keeping youth on the right track. It is sponsored by the UK Athletics Association, the Center for the Study of Sport in Society, and AmeriCorps, a national service project designed to help communities meet their education, public safety, human, or environmental needs through service. Student-athletes who have completed their eligibility tutor and mentor grade school, middle school and high school students in "at risk" schools in the community and present workshops on issues of cultural diversity; media literacy, prevention of violence against women and conflict resolution.

Dr. Wood Selig Responds! Read what the athletic director has to say in response to your questions. Oct. 27, 2000 Q: "I would love to see us play a team from the Mid-American Conference (OU, BGSU, KSU etc.) or the Southern Conference (VMI, The Citadel etc.) Any plans in the near future for these teams on the football schedule?" (question asked by John Daugherty, Nicholasville, Ky.) Dr. Selig: "John, thanks for your question regarding our football schedule. We do not hold any Southern Conference games currently under signed contract although I have had numerous conversations with a few schools. We have tentative arrangements that I can not discuss at this time with a Southern Conference opponent. We have talked with MAC schools and had a chance to play Marshall this year and Toledo next year. We will play Wisconsin next year and we passed on Marshall this year. We will continue to look at the MAC for future I-A opponents and are having discussions right now with at least two members of the MAC for the future as we try and schedule at least one, I-A football game annually. The problem with the MAC is you can wind up playing an awfully good football team for half or a third of the guarantee that other major I-A conference opponents will offer. Thanks for your support of Western athletics."

Blown Fiber Changes Installation Rules For Two Schools Flexible cable-installation process allows frequent changes for classroom computer upgrades by C.S. Pegge Blown fiber is breaking rules and records for classroom computer network cabling. More flexible than conventional fiber-optic cable, blown fiber speeds installation and allows for frequent MACs (moves, adds and changes) without recabling. Basically, the blown-fiber process is as simple as it soundsjust blow out the old fiber and then blow in the new. It's all done through empty, flexible plastic tubes. School districts and colleges are ahead of the learning curve in adopting blown fiber. Two recent extensive installations of blown fiber happened at a large middle school in Wellesley, Mass. and at public schools in Wake County, N.C. "Education is a top priority to the parents and people of Wellesley," said Tom Plati, director of libraries and educational technologies for Wellesley Public Schools. "Their support enables us to provide technology infrastructure, resources and capabilities to all of our students." LCN Inc., a local computer network designer and installer, won the Wellesley public school bid of nearby Weymouth, just south of Boston. LCN proposed using blown fiber technology to install the network backbone at Wellesley Middle School.
