| THE PINE CURTAIN NOW ON WEB |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks to Ms. Joy Rousseau’s Arp High
School Web Masters class, The Pine Curtain is on the web! Last spring the Web
Masters class participated in our student-written proposals and requested Tech Prep funds
to put our newsletter on the web. Arp was awarded the funds, and our August newsletter is
on our web site. The students used their creative computer skills to make the newsletter a
fun and informative place to surf. Ms. Rousseau’s class will update the web site with
our current newsletter each quarter.

Tech Prep Re-Funded for Another Five Years |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical
Education Act of 1998 provides a five-year authorization for funding ending in 2003. Tech
Prep was re-authorized as a separate program. The re-authorized Tech Prep program
includes: a five-year planning cycle; emphasis on educational technology and distance
education; inclusion of higher education offering baccalaureate degrees; using work-based
learning where appropriate; counselor training, and in service for teachers to allow them
to stay current with the needs of business and industry and in the use of technology.
Special consideration will be given to consortia that include business, labor, and
four-year colleges, that address the needs of school dropouts, that help students meet
high academic standards, and that provide education and training in areas of workforce
shortages, such as information technology.
