Summary of Section 8003 Impact Aid Application for FY2000 (sub mitted during 1998-99 School Year) Research in Indian Education Summit meeting set for April 2000 "Deconstructing the Mvths" Will"1 be the theme of the first Summit Meeting on Research in Indian Edu cation, it was announced. The highly respected Founder of the national newspaper "Indian Country Today", Mr. Tim Giago, will be the Chairper son of the meeting. "The meeting is about defining a research agenda for Indian Educa tion," stated Ms. Suzanne Benally, a member of the Steering Committee who works for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES). "We need research to im prove academic success and student outcomes. Research should not look only at negative factors." Seven major national Indian orga nizations will host the Summit Meet ing. The meeting will be held at the Wyndham Hotel in Albuquerque on April 14-15,2000. "One of the most neglected re search areas in educational research is the area of Indian education," stated one of the Summit Meeting conven ers, Dr. Dean Chavers, Director of the Native American Scholarship Fund (NASF). "There is so much that is not known about how or why Indian stu College news nology sector is increasingly avail able in Central Oregon. Using the curriculum of the Cisco Networking Academy program, high school students in Bend (Marshall High School), Redmond, Madras, Culver and Crook County are taking classes that can lead to industry-standard certifications and prepare them for pursuing advanced education in science and engineering fields at col lege and universities. Beginning in January, the networking courses will also be available at Sisters High School and Central Oregon Commu nity College in Bend. The North County ESD in northeastern Oregon is also planning to offer classes. "The classes leach students to de sign, build, maintain and sen ice com puter networks, enabling them to de velop the skills needed to compete in an increasingly technology-dependent workplace," said Kelvin Kempfer, assistant professor of com puter information systems at COCC and one of two regional trainers cer tified by Cisco Systems, Inc. The Web-based curriculum is de livered to students' desktop comput ers. The 280-hour program provides course work for a complete range of basic through advanced networking concepts - from pulling cable through such complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies. Semesters 1 through 4 of the pro gram cover networking fundamentals and are taught at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Semesters 5 to 7 will focus on more advanced net working topics and are taught prima Jefferson County School District 509-J is preparing its FY2001 Im pact Aid Application for Basic Sup port Payments (Title VIII of the El ementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, P.L. 103-382 "Improv ing America's Schools Act signed on October 20, 1994). Funds received under this program are inlkiiof local property taxes that would be received if the properties had not been exempted from property taxa tion by Federal Law. These funds are included in the District's general fund budget and are used for regular oper ating purposes. The law docs not designate any specific expenditures from the entitlement, however, addi tional regulations are placed on funds generated by students having dis abilities. Last year's FY2000 application 0UI--U: r-..MJ OUIIUIcMSNip TUIIU The Native American Scholarshio Fund (NASF) announced that 186 NASF-supportcd Native American Indian students are attending accred ited institutions of higher learning throughout the United States for the Fall Semester. Of the 186 students, 44 of them are new to the NASF program this fall. These students arc highly moti vated, high academic achievers and have a burning desire to return to their native communities to help their tribes when they complete their stud ies. The majority of these students are studying in fields of science, engi neering, business, math, computers and education. NASF has more than $500,000 available in scholarship funds for FY 2000, which is available through June 30, 2000. The average scholarship grant for this fall is $1,600 per stu dent. The application deadline for fall semester, 2000 is April 15, 2000.

Stott Center at Portland State University. Host Drum is Eagle Thunder; Co- dents succeed in school." "We do know that formal educa tion for Native Americans is a dismal failure," he went on. "Half of Indian students do not finish high school. Only a tiny handful enter college. Over 80 of those that enter college never earn a degree. At the same time, the demand for engineers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, business managers, and environmentalists in Indian Country is huge. The Indian Health Service alone has over 520 vacant positions now. The organizations that are conven ing the meeting are the NASF, the American Indian College Fund (AICF), AISES, the Association of American Indian Physicians (AAIP), the National Indian Health Board (NIHB), Native Americans in Philan thropy (NAP), and the National In dian Education Association (N1EA). These organizations and five other Indian school superintendents and educational researchers have formed a Steering Committee of 12 people to hold the Summit Meeting. "We have to learn how Indian people succeed in education," stated Dr. Grayson Noley, Chairman of the rily at colleges. Laboratory exercises provide for hands-on experimentation to hone network trouble-shooting skills as well as critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. "COCC is coordinating with the local school districts to provide a seamless curriculum for students in the Cisco Networking Academy pro gram," said Bob Barber, COCC presi dent. "This program benefits students as they move from high school to col lege to career." The program prepares students for industry-standard certifications, such as the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) and the Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP). There are presently more than 800,000 job openings for Internet spe cialists; in the next five years, three million more jobs w ill open, accord ing to Cisco Systems. Locally, Internet service providers such as BendNet and Empire Net could em ploy Cisco Academy graduates. "It's huge field and many differ ent types of companies are in need of technicians with this background," said Kempfer. The Carl D. Perkins Professional Technical Title I grant and the Carl D. Perkins Regional Preparation Title II grant, both federal grants adminis tered through the CrookDeschutes Education Service District, have helped to fund the classes and labo ratories.

"We should not stay in the mindset of why students fail. We should study suc cessful schools, for example, those in which almost no students drop out." "We want to know what works, how students achieve success, as de fined locally," as stated another mem ber of the Steering Committee, Mr. Joseph Hoptowit, Superintendent of the Mount Adams School District in Washington State. "The key question is: Will it cause a change in behav ior? We need to know what works." "The meeting will develop a re search agenda for 12 different areas," stated Dr. Chavers, "including early childhood, language acquisition, teaching and learning styles, profes sional preparation, curriculum devel opment and other areas. Participants will come,together to develop an agenda, set priorities, and begin to identify funding sources for the re search.

This may never happen again now that the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto has come up with a super treatment. Pediatrician Moshe Ipp recommends a 5050 solution of mineral oil and vinegar. Massage it well into the hair; cover for one hour with a shower cap and then shampoo out with regu lar shampoo. This treatment can be repeated as often as needed. The vinegar detaches the nits from the hair shaft while the oil suffo cates any live lice and makes for easy and smooth combing out of any detached nits and dead lice. Dr. Ipp claims 100 success in using this process. "It has been a lifesaver for our par ents who are beside themselves after unsuc cessfully using repeated courses of potentially TOXIC therapeutic shampoos," says Dr. Ipp.
