New Life Breathed Into School Renovation Program (From NASSP-Principal’s Policy Blog, 5/29/08)
The US House has overwhelmingly approved legislation to extend the Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB) program for one year, providing an additional $400 million in funding. QZAB funds can be used for school renovation and modernization, developing curriculum, purchasing equipment, and training school personnel. Most schools that participate in the QZAB program have 35% or more of their students eligible for the National School Lunch Program. Schools in high-poverty areas are also usually eligible.
Canadian Teachers Federation Brief to Senate on Schools and Poverty The paper stresses that remedies to address the negative relationship between poverty and schooling outcomes must be twopronged. They must … include school-based policies (curriculum, staffing, professional development, community connections) as well as broader social and economic policies (housing, healthcare, wages, labour market protection and fairness). One set of reforms without the other will be insufficient. Specific strategies for ensuring all children are better provided for include: • a universal child care system providing high quality care for all children; • investment in other early childhood education initiatives designed to help develop school readiness; • support for school boards and relevant community agencies in their attempts to coordinate health, recreation, and
social services at school sites.
