A major feature of this agreement is the implementation of a School-Based Management/Shared Decision-Making (SBM/SDM) model in all Boston Public Schools, that extends through duration of the current contract. The goals are to improve achievement by focusing the decision-making process at the School Site level and to engage a broad stakeholder group. The vehicle for this level of engagement is the School Site Council, which is composed of parents, teachers, building administrators, and a student at the high school level. We believe that the participation and cooperation of all school constituencies is essential for SBM/SDM and School Site Councils to work effectively in order to improve student achievement. The SBM/SDM School Site Council has extensive responsibility and authority as the decision-making committee for the school. In recognition of the central role it is expected to play, the contract provides that “a School Site Council may waive any provision of this agreement or any School Committee rule or regulation or Superintendent’s policy.” The power of SBM/SDM School Site Councils far exceeds that envisioned from School Councils established by the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993, which is why ongoing attention to developing the capacity of the councils is essential. School Site Councils are integral to the future vision of the Boston Public School System, which in its mission statement pledges to provide all our students with an environment “where effective teaching and learning prepare all of our students to achieve at high levels, and where the entire community works together to focus on children”. Past SBM/SDM initiatives have focused on greater involvement in making decisions and making better decisions to improve teaching and learning for all students. A continued focus on this work, along with a commitment of all participants will ensure substantial school improvement. An essential element for individual school improvement is the SBM/SDM. We are grateful to those who volunteer time and energy to make the School Site Council a place where children’s learning always comes first. We look forward to the energetic participation and sincere support of parents, teachers, building administrators, students, and the greater community as we continue to work together to implement effective shared decision-making in all Boston Public Schools. iii SCHOOL - BASED MANAGEM ENT/SHARED DECISION - MAKING School Site Council Manual Table of Contents SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS IN BOSTON

James Wilson is a notable exception – a man whose name may forever be synonymous with both Eastside recreation and conservation efforts, simply because he followed his passions, stuck to his principles and saw the wisdom in thinking ahead. Thus it was a huge, collective loss and crushing blow when Wilson died Wednesday at Renown Hospital in Reno. He had suffered a stroke over the weekend and never regained con- sciousness. The longtime Bishop resident and former business owner leaves behind his beloved wife, Kay, daughter, Roseanne, son-in-law, Bay, and grandson, Ansel. He was 67. At the time of his death, Wilson was a member of the Rotary Club of Bishop, where he was chairman of the International Service Committee; the Eastern Sierra chapter of the Audubon Society, which he helped found in 1983; and a board member of Friends of the Inyo, which he co-founded in 1986. Wilson was a former longtime member of the California Wilderness Coalition and past member of the Bishop Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

    Director of Public Health- Linda Beers, MPH News Release October 16, 2020 For Immediate Release For More Information: Andrea Whitmarsh, Public Information Officer 518-873-3546│[email protected] Lee House Cluster Grows – 5 Additional Cases Identified Following Testing Event Elizabethtown, NY. Essex County Health Department is reporting 5 additional cases associated with the initial cluster of COVID-19 cases in residents of the Lee House Apartments in Port Henry; town of Moriah. This brings the total cases to 9. This cluster includes people that live within and outside the Lee House Apartments. Yesterday, the ECHD and staff from the Essex County Office of Emergency Services offered a testing event from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. near the Lee House Apartments for residents and individuals known to be or potentially exposed. The five additional cases were identified from 38 individuals swabbed, with the NYS Wadsworth Laboratory processing and reporting results to the health department in under 24 hours. Two additional cases unrelated to the Lee House cluster were also reported to ECHD on Friday. “The Health Department has spoken with all new cases today to issue isolation orders, conduct case investigations, and determine contacts that might be at risk of exposure,” stated Linda Beers, Director of Public Health for the department. “This uptick in cases we’re experiencing is not unique to Essex County and is an important reminder of how opportunistic this virus is when we let down our guard,” cautioned Beers. “We’re finding that even smaller, indoor family gatherings, really fuels the spread of this virus.

  • A Feminist Criticism of House
    Lutzker 1 House is a medical drama based on the fictitious story of Dr . Gregory House, a cruelly sarcastic, yet brilliant, doctor . Dr . House works as a diagnostician at the Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital where he employs a team of young doctors who aspire to achieve greater success in their careers . Being a member of House’s team is a privilege, yet the team members must be able to tolerate Dr . House’s caustic sense of humor . Because of Dr . House’s brilliance, his coworkers and bosses alike tend to overlook his deviant and childish behaviors . Even though Dr . House’s leg causes him to be in severe pain every day, and has contributed to his negative outlook on life, both his patients and coworkers do not have much sympathy for him . The main goals of House’s outlandish behaviors are to solve the puzzle of his patients’ medical cases . Dr . House handpicks the patients whom he finds have interesting medical quandaries and attempts to diagnose them . By conferring with his team, and “asking” for permission from Dr . Lisa Cuddy, Dr . House is able to treat the patients as he sees fit . He usually does not diagnose the patients correctly the first time . However, with each new symptom, a new piece of the puzzle unfolds, giving a clearer view of the cause of illness . Dr . House typically manages to save the lives of his patients by the end of the episode, usually without having any physical contact with the patient . Dr . House has an arrogant and self-righteous personality . Some of the lines that are written for Dr .

  • Health Care Practitioner Reporting Guidelines for Reportable Diseases and Conditions in Florida
    Health Care Practitioner Reporting Guidelines for Reportable Diseases and Conditions in Florida Based on Revisions to Rule 64D-3.029 Florida Administrative Code Effective October 20, 2016 To All State of Florida Licensed Practitioners Dear Colleagues: All practitioners, hospitals, and laboratories in Florida are required to notify the Florida Department of Health (Department) of diseases and conditions of public health significance under section 381.0031, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 64D-3, Florida Administrative Code. Practitioners, hospitals, medical facilities, laboratories, schools, nursing homes, state institutions, and other locations providing health services are required to notify the Department of diseases or conditions and the associated laboratory test results listed in the Table of Reportable Diseases or Conditions to Be Reported, Rule 64D-3.029, Florida Administrative Code. Laboratory notification of test results does not nullify the practitioner’s obligation to also notify the Department of the disease or condition. The public health system depends upon notification of diseases by physicians, laboratorians, infection preventionists and other health care practitioners to monitor the health of the community and to guide preventive action. Practitioners are required to notify the Department of certain diseases of urgent public health importance upon initial clinical suspicion of the disease prior to confirmatory diagnosis. Diseases warranting notification upon suspicion (termed Suspect Immediately) should be reported 24 hours
