ARCHIVED - Murcia allocates more than 3 million euros to road improvements
The repairs will affect municipalities such as Lorca, San Pedro del Pinatar and Águilas
Despite the resources pumped into restoring the road network damaged in the Region of Murcia by the DANA in 2019 there are still several thoroughfares that require repairs, and local authorities have this week been turning their attention to tenders in municipalities such as Lorca, San Pedro del Pinatar, Cieza, Abarán and Águilas.
The first works to be carried out in this locality will be the repair and widening of the RM-D8 that runs through the southeast of Lorca since the contract has already been awarded. The project should be completed within eight months and will cost an estimated 1,525,693 euros.
The RM-11 that connects the city with Águilas will receive an overhaul that will consist of reinforcing the road surface on the left bank. However, the contract for this work is still out to public tender and so is not expected to begin until three months after the deal has been formalised. The budget for the job is 784,185.52 euros.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Agriculture, Bartolomé Hernández, took a trip on Thursday November 11 to supervise the work that has already begun in Águilas. With an investment of close to 22,000 euros, contractors are tackling the subsidence and cracks in the asphalt located at Los Melenchones, Las Casicas and El Labradorcico.
Up to 735,812.40 euros will be released to improve the RM-F25 highway in San Pedro that borders Alicante, a project which has a deadline of three months for completion. A unique point of this tender is that the crew must have available at least one hybrid or electric vehicle. In addition, the company that takes on the project must hire at least one unemployed person.
Cieza and Abarán
Finally, the section of the RM-512 highway that connects Cieza with Abarán will be resurfaced to improve vehicle circulation. This is a smaller job than most of the others and should be finished within two months, costing an estimated 337,919 euros.

Framework Modality
Over the past two decades, many African countries have attained some level of expertise and experience in the fields of nuclear applications, and the peaceful application of nuclear energy to address certain developmental challenges has increased. However, the level of nuclear technology and skills varies from country to country in the region. One key challenge is related to the inadequate role of the beneficiary country in planning and implementing of projects in relevant priority thematic sectors. In addition, differences in the objectives and goals of partners, and their non-alignment with the national development plans of the beneficiary country, pose another notable difficulty.
Several AFRA countries have established excellent facilities covering most of the nuclear and related techniques promoted under the IAEA technical cooperation programme. Through cooperation, these countries are expected to assist less advanced countries in the region. AFRA has also recognized regional designated centres in many key areas, which are expected to play a major role in this project. The AFRA project aims to promote triangular cooperation between three key actors. This will provide an opportunity for channeling the programmatic synergies of the different actors cooperating to achieve a common development objective, in order to increase the effectiveness of technical cooperation. The role players in triangular cooperation includes: a pivotal actor such as an international organization (e.g. the IAEA or a group of Member States operating under an agreement (AFRA)) which shares the technical expertise and experience and promotes regional cooperation; a donor country or a group of donor countries; and a recipient or group of recipient countries with common development needs. The established AFRA framework gives ample opportunity for donors to focus on the specific issues and development needs affecting the region, such as nuclear safety and nuclear security, human resource development, and the strengthening of regulatory infrastructure.
Outreach and collaboration among AFRA States Parties in the form of technical cooperation among developing countries (TCDC), and the sharing of infrastructure and facilities, has resulted in several 'win-win' situations in the past. It has also led to the growth of mutual respect and understanding, benefitting the region as a whole. Through the efforts of its new management structure and operational guidelines, the TCDC modality as applied within the AFRA agreement will generate independence through inter-dependence using regional skills, capacity and infrastructure. The partnership of a pivotal actor is expected to reduce the burden of project management on the shoulders of a donor, and to ensure the successful implementation of the project according to realities on the ground. In addition, this will reduce project costs and will provide an opportunity for a pivotal actor to share knowledge and materials with minimum resources.

Gov. Hogan Doesn't See Point Of More Officer Trials
BALTIMORE (AP) – Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he doesn't see the point of moving forward with charges against three officers in the death of a black man who was fatally injured in the back of a police van, now that three other officers have been acquitted.
Matt Clark, a Hogan spokesman, said the governor responded to a question after the acquittal of Lt. Brian Rice on Monday. The Washington Post reported Hogan said: "It's a waste of time and money," adding "but that's up to the court system to decide."
Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams acquitted Rice in a bench trial. Williams also has acquitted Officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson in separate bench trials. Officer William Porter's trial ended in a hung jury in December.


An Ohio man who said he was Timmothy Pitzen, an Illinois boy who went missing in 2011 at age 6, was charged by the FBI Friday.
The Cincinnati FBI said Brian Rini, the Ohio man who claimed to be Timmothy Pitzen, an Illinois boy who went missing in 2011 at age 6, has been charged by the FBI with making false statements to a federal agent.
He is currently in the Hamilton County Jail.
Brian Rini, 23, was booked into the jail around 11 p.m., according to the Hamilton County Jail website.
On Wednesday, Rini told police he was Timmothy, who has been missing from Illinois for nearly eight years. DNA tests showed that the was not the boy.

Andrew Nwuba
Mechanical Engineering major, Class of 2019
Research Mentors: Dr. Carlos Colosqui & Dr. Fu-pen Chiang, Mechanical Engineering; Additional advisor (WAVE Fellow program, summer 2018): Dr. Beverley McKeon, Professor of Aeronautics, California Institute of Technology
Andrew Nwuba is a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering who is a member of ASME, CSTEP and LSAMP. Having benefitted from a variety of undergraduate research experiences, Andrew succinctly states: " Research requires you to be independent which is helpful in essentially everything that you do."
Andrew began doing research in his sophomore year, and joined two different research groups in the Department of Mechanical Engineering: one specializing in fluid mechanics, one focused on solid mechanics. In Professor Carlos Colosqui's research group, Andrew currently investigates the behavior of fluids, quantifies data-powder wettability, contact angles and surface tension in MATLAB, and seeks to develop new technologies related to hydrophobic materials. In the research group of Professor Fu-pen Chiang (where Andrew worked for ~ 3 semesters until April 2018), Andrew used laser speckle interferometry to measure the strain and roughness of objects. This research involved using MATLAB scripts to generate random speckle patterns. Andrew also works under the direction of Professor Fu-Pen Chiang for his senior design project: "Digital Speckle System for Mapping Surface Flatness, Warpage, and Vibrational Modes."
This past summer, Andrew had the opportunity to participate in CalTech's WAVE Fellows program in Pasadena, California: there, he conducted research in Prof. Beverley McKeon's laboratory on Real-Time Particle Image Velocimetry (RTPIV), investigating flow questions related to aerospace vehicle design (reduction of drag, noise, and structural loading); and gaining experience in high performance computing, and writing parallel PIV software for experimental testing.
At SB, Andrew has been active in the University Scholars Program, and was designated as a Freshman Seminar class representative. He also has served on the executive board for the Cardozo College Hall Council, as well as SB's Speech and Debate Society. In spring 2017, Andrew participated in the Google BOLD Immersion Summit; he also gave an oral presentation titled " Current Efforts Toward Separation of Water and Oil in Capillary Diodes" based on his work in the Colosqui group for SURC 2017, an undergraduate research conference held at Suffolk County Community College. In summer 2017, Andrew gained experience as an Electrical Design intern at the Harris Corporation in North Amityville, NY.
Andrew is a graduate of Newfield High School in Selden, NY. His hobbies include weight-lifting and listening to podcasts. Below are excerpts from his interview with Karen Kernan, URECA Director.
Karen. How did you first get involved in research at SB?
Andrew. I'm currently doing research in the Colosqui group. And I'm also doing a senior design project which involves designing a system to measure vibrational modes, a project directed by Prof. Fu-Pen Chiang—whose group I also worked with previously for a few semesters. . . Initially I had planned to get involved in research in my freshman year because I wanted to bolster my resume but I wasn't able to get a position right away. So I kept on asking professors, and eventually, in my sophomore year, I got a response from two different professors. One was from my general academic advisor, Prof. Carlos Colosqui who offered me a position. And at the same time, Prof. Fu-Pen Chiang also gave me an opportunity. So I decided, because the commitments seemed manageable, to go with both opportunities.
The main focus of much of the research that I did in Prof. Chiang's group (where I participated from December 2016 through spring of last year) is based off of the principle of how light interacts with matter – using laser speckle interferometry to measure the strain and and displacement. The research I've been working on in Prof. Colosqui's group (which I am still involved in) involves hydrodynamics – in particular how the capillary diode works to filter different liquids, and learning more about the properties of wetting/dewetting. There are a lot of potential applications--which is something I find appealing about the work.
Did you also participate in research off-campus?
Yes, this summer. I participated in a fluid mechanics research project at CalTech in the aerospace department through a summer program called WAVE. The professor I was working with, Prof. Beverley McKeon, works on something called particle velocimetry in real time. My goal for the end of the summer was to try to rewrite or implement a preexisting parallel PIV software to run on their computing cluster but we couldn't find one that was available that worked. I ended the summer by writing a parallel PIV software for the purpose of testing.
How did you initially find out about CalTech program?
I'm a member of LSAMP & CSTEP. Dr. David Ferguson, and Paul Siegel, at one of our meetings, both mentioned the WAVE program – both recommended that I apply for it. I already had internship offer for the summer after my sophomore year to work at Harris. So I decided to apply to the CalTech this past year, as a junior. And I'm very glad that I did. It was a great experience. ...I met a lot of professors there. I met the head of the aerospace program. And it gave me an opportunity to talk to some professors regarding graduate school. They also had a lot of graduate school preparation related events – workshops about how to select a professor you want to work with, how to start building your resume, how to solicit letters of recommendations, how to write a personal statements, etc.. We also spoke with a lot of different PhD students who volunteered to talk about their experiences. It was a great experience overall – probably the experience where I grew the most in terms of learning about different areas that were new to me.
What are some of the advantages to doing research in a summer?
I think if someone wants to know if they want to continue with research in graduate school, doing research over the summer is probably the best way to tell. Because that's your full time job where you are assigned to work on something at least 40+ hours per week.
Do you have any experience in presenting, through your research experiences?
I gave an oral presentation of research I did in Prof. Colosqui's lab at one of the SUNY research conferences—SURC 17 at Suffolk Community College. And this summer at CalTech, we had to give a technical presentation plus a final presentation.At the end of the program, I ended up giving a 15 minute oral presentation for maybe ~60 people…
I used to be in Speech & Debate , so I'd say that I am somewhat comfortable with giving presentations in the first place. But research has definitely given me a lot of opportunities to practice and hone my presentation skills. In Prof. Chiang's lab, we frequently had to give presentations to everyone in the group on what we were working on, what progress we were making. And you get better at explaining things with more practice.
What are your future plans?
I plan on working for some time -- and then coming back for graduate school. I'm interested in a lot of different things for graduate study – robotics, aerospace engineering,... I also learned that I'm more interested in computer science, especially after last summer's experience. So I want to take some time to decide on what will make the most sense in terms of what programs I apply to, and what I want to study in more depth.
What advice would you give about research to other students?
I would say – get involved, and get involved early. Doing research definitely helped me get an internship. There's maybe not as much of a push for engineers to do research but it definitely helps you to learn new things, and to expand your knowledge. Second, it has also given me a better idea of what graduate school is like. Finally, it's a good thing to do because research requires you to be independent which is helpful in essentially everything that you do.
I also always recommend other students to get involved with CSTEP. I've gone to a few of their events. And it's a very helpful program to be involved with – because they post a lot of opportunities for you that are related to research or graduate school.
How has research complemented your classroom learning?
My classes have definitely helped me get a decent foundation in a lot of different areas. But I feel that the depth of your knowledge is much greater when you do research than when you take a class. Because while you don't have to understand everything in the field, you have to understand a lot of things that might be tangentially related to your experiment. It becomes necessary to learn a lot of stuff just related to the physics of what you're doing, for example. Plus I think the problems that come up are a bit more interesting than classwork.

Wisconsin Has An Unclear Route To Toll Roads
Legislators Weigh Fees As Transportation Budget Friction Continues
Scott Gordon
WisContext
Veronica Rueckert
Frederica Freyberg
PBS Wisconsin

Wisconsin now has a transportation budget proposal on the table for 2017-18, which Gov. Scott Walker rolled out on September 14. But Walker and the Republican-led state legislature may not be any closer to agreeing on how to make up a $1 billion shortfall in transportation funding, which is mostly dedicated towards road repair and construction. An impasse that has been brewing for some time looks likely to continue as the governor opposes raising the gas tax and other transportation fees, which legislators like Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, have said they are willing to consider.

This stalemate has more Wisconsin leaders talking about toll roads, including recently by Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee. Walker has said he opposes toll roads as a concept, but his administration is still conducting a feasibility study on them, with a report due in November. Whatever the politics of this issue, though, generating revenue from toll roads is a complex process. It would likely take some time for tolls to affect the state's current budgetary approach to transportation funding, which consists of borrowing money and delaying projects.

More than half of the United States' toll roads, by mileage, are on the Interstate Highway System — 3,418 miles, as of January 2015. This is efficient from immediate revenue and user perspectives, as these roads offer a high number of drivers despite each paying only a small toll on an individual basis.

However, states can't just add tolling to interstates whenever they please. About 2,100 miles of toll roads in the system were grandfathered in by Congress in the mid-1950s. This policy allowed drivers to keep using already heavily-traveled, toll-funded turnpikes in 14 states, while the in-the-works Interstate Highway System could simply incorporate those stretches rather than building new roads and competing with what was already in place. Since that time, the U.S. government has generally declined to allow the addition of new tolls to federally funded roads.

States can add tolling on interstates without giving up federal funding, but they have to do so under one of a few specific conditions required by the Federal Highway Administration. If they meet these conditions, states can set up a new government agency to run toll roads, like the New Jersey Turnpike Authority on a stretch of I-95 and the Garden State Parkway, or work with a private operator, as the state of Indiana does on the Indiana Toll Road, which spans parts of I-80 and I-190 that run east-to-west across the northern tip of the state.

Of course, the cost and value of toll roads accompany all the other financial decisions relevant to transportation infrastructure — from borrowing to vehicle registration fees — and do not make a state immune to crisis. The state of New Jersey, which collects about $1.5 billion per year from its toll roads, nearly drained its transportation trust fund in 2015, and legislators remain in the middle of a political fight that has frozen many road projects. Meanwhile, the private company operating the Indiana Toll Road filed for bankruptcy in September 2014, with an Australian pension fund taking it over in 2015.

These recent experiences of New Jersey and Indiana does not mean that all toll roads are bound to fail, but they highlight how numerous decisions go into setting up a competent and solvent tolling authority, all long before a state sees its first dollar of revenue. The operator, public or private, is faced with the issue of setting up physical and financial infrastructure just to collect the tolls.

Patrick Jones, CEO of the toll-operator organization International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, said in a Sept. 16, 2016 interview on Wisconsin Public Television's Here And Now that he does not recommend building actual toll booths. In recent years, drivers on toll roads around the U.S. increasingly use an electronic transponder system that lets them roll through toll collection points at full speed, like Florida's Sunpass and Illinois' I-Pass.

There is also the challenge of selling the idea of toll roads to the public.

One tolling advocate, Tom Still of the Wisconsin Technology Council, wrote in a 2012 op-ed for the Wisconsin State Journal that the state's residents associate the word "toll" with the increasingly costly charges that greet them when they cross into northern Illinois on I-90.

Jones characterized tolling as a "fairly common practice" in the U.S., noting that 35 states currently have about 6,000 miles of toll roads, which generate some $14 billion in annual revenue. In a May 17, 2016 interview on Wisconsin Public Radio's Central Time, he said opinion surveys have indicated the public is more receptive to tolling on new roadways or in association with expansion of existing infrastructure.

Although toll roads have long held a certain free-market cachet among libertarians and conservatives, in many cases tolls are debt service in financial terms. This is especially common on newly constructed toll roads: Drivers are paying a "user fee" and are not directly taxed, but at least at first, they're paying back debt a public agency has taken on to build the road in the first place. Timothy Lee of the libertarian Cato Institute acknowledged as much in a 2012 essay.

"Assembling the land needed for a long-distance road is prohibitively expensive without government assistance," he wrote. "Unsurprisingly, private roads almost never come into existence without extensive government assistance. And that means that the profitability of a 'private' road depends crucially on how many competing roads the government allows to exist."

In his interview on Here And Now, Jones advocated the role tolling can play in financing new transportation construction projects, citing E-470 in Colorado. It's a toll road in suburban Denver, where a group of municipal governments collaborated to establish the E-470 Public Highway Authority to construct, administer and maintain it.

"If you're trying to build something new, and you don't have the revenues to do it, toll finance can be one of the solutions," he said. "It's not a solution everywhere, but it is an effective one."

In 2013, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority had the unenviable task of disputing a story that declared the Turnpike the nation's most profitable toll road. "The New Jersey Turnpike Authority does not make a dime of profit," a spokesperson told WNYC at the time. "More than half the money collected at toll booths on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway goes toward repaying [bonds]."

If toll roads are introduced in Wisconsin, their upfront costs could run counter to the governor's and legislators' stated opposition to increased transportation borrowing. Or it may be that the promise of future toll revenue could instead take the sting out of that borrowing. Either way, approving toll roads for the state doesn't necessarily make addressing public debt any simpler.

Toll roads could well be part of a long-term solution for Wisconsin's transportation-funding impasse, but they will still complicate the short-term decisions weighing on state leaders.

Wisconsin Has An Unclear Route To Toll Roads was originally published on WisContext which produced the article in a partnership between Wisconsin Public Radio and PBS Wisconsin.

Toll roads require significant investments to establish necessary physical and financial infrastructure.
Wisconsin now has a transportation budget proposal on the table for 2017-18, which Gov. Scott Walker rolled out on September 14. But Walker and the Republican-led state legislature may not be any closer to agreeing on how to make up a $1 billion shortfall in transportation funding, which is mostly dedicated towards road repair and construction. An impasse that has been brewing for some time looks likely to continue as the governor opposes raising the gas tax and other transportation fees, which legislators like Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, have said they are willing to consider.
This stalemate has more Wisconsin leaders talking about toll roads, including recently by Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee. Walker has said he opposes toll roads as a concept, but his administration is still conducting a feasibility study on them, with a report due in November. Whatever the politics of this issue, though, generating revenue from toll roads is a complex process. It would likely take some time for tolls to affect the state's current budgetary approach to transportation funding, which consists of borrowing money and delaying projects.
More than half of the United States' toll roads, by mileage, are on the Interstate Highway System — 3,418 miles, as of January 2015. This is efficient from immediate revenue and user perspectives, as these roads offer a high number of drivers despite each paying only a small toll on an individual basis.
However, states can't just add tolling to interstates whenever they please. About 2,100 miles of toll roads in the system were grandfathered in by Congress in the mid-1950s. This policy allowed drivers to keep using already heavily-traveled, toll-funded turnpikes in 14 states, while the in-the-works Interstate Highway System could simply incorporate those stretches rather than building new roads and competing with what was already in place. Since that time, the U.S. government has generally declined to allow the addition of new tolls to federally funded roads.
States can add tolling on interstates without giving up federal funding, but they have to do so under one of a few specific conditions required by the Federal Highway Administration. If they meet these conditions, states can set up a new government agency to run toll roads, like the New Jersey Turnpike Authority on a stretch of I-95 and the Garden State Parkway, or work with a private operator, as the state of Indiana does on the Indiana Toll Road, which spans parts of I-80 and I-190 that run east-to-west across the northern tip of the state.
Of course, the cost and value of toll roads accompany all the other financial decisions relevant to transportation infrastructure — from borrowing to vehicle registration fees — and do not make a state immune to crisis. The state of New Jersey, which collects about $1.5 billion per year from its toll roads, nearly drained its transportation trust fund in 2015, and legislators remain in the middle of a political fight that has frozen many road projects. Meanwhile, the private company operating the Indiana Toll Road filed for bankruptcy in September 2014, with an Australian pension fund taking it over in 2015.

Photo taken by first-time contributor Celeste J. Heery, a 46-year-old woman from Virginia who has lived with depression for as long as she can remember. In 2004, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which had gone undiagnosed for many years because she did not know what mania was and therefore did not report her symptoms to her psychiatrist. With medication and psychotherapy, Celeste's illness has become manageable, though problems still persist in her life as a result of the disorder, and she occasionally suffers from breakthrough depression.
Find more from Celeste at her website.
What an incredible photo. Round of applause for Celeste!
There is a certain proudness to that old barn which remains standing in its decay perhaps awaiting renewal.
I made a career out of my passion for photograhing abandoned places like this. Very well done. I am very impressed!
I checked out the photo page and bookmarked it! I love pictures of abandoned places.
Love the barn! Love the tone! Nicely done!
This beautifully photographed barn is amazing in and of itself! "I was struck by the isolation and desolation of the lone structure," <– visually articulated so well. I am happy your creativity has a place to blossom and your feelings can be expressed. You are talented!
Interesting to read perspectives of people suffering from mental disorders. My auntie has bipolar which made her difficult at times, but the medication she now receives has made her the person she once was.

What is the point of a chord mode that has to stick to one type of chord?
I don't understand bm3s approach to chord mode. it doesn't record the chords as midi, it records one midi note and then puts that through whatever chord type you have selected and you can only use one. Where is the logic in that? Is there any reasoning for this?
Can you suggest a better way for it to work?
I always though you were such a polite and zen young man!
We got some neat improvements regarding chords / scales coming in the next update.
Here is the idea i was kicking around the 5pin.link discord chat, having the ability to load tempo tracks, arrangement tracks, chord tracks.
A chord track would highlight all notes contained within that chord in the piano roll while the playhead was in that position, the chord mode on pads would have a chord track function for realtime use too.
Yep that was the idea for the arrangement lane exactly lol.
Right now the only workaround is to copy the first pad to other pads and on each pad choosing what key and what kind of chord you'd like it to play.
Works with most au/iaa plugins, sometimes you'll just need to route the midi output correctly.
Not a real solution to having an ability to edit the individual midi notes afterwards but it does the trick sometimes.
I am using Navichord app when I need some nice chord progressions or just want to try out various chord combinations. It has a beautiful UI and features that BM3 will probably never have. It has MIDI out and Ableton link, that's more or less everything you need to record into BM3 and continue with the exact notes.
Imagine a standard chord track save file that could be loaded and saved in Navichord or B3 or NS2 etc etc.
Agreed, it should output MIDI from the current chord selector.
But that is only of use for programming not realtime play unless a user can define either a pallete of chords to realtime choose from or indeed a chord track as above.
So there are considerations beyond "just make it output MIDI"
I'll have you know chords mode is actually usable as an octave doubler effect!

For schools in the Inland Northwest, change is coming in many forms.
Whether it's newly constructed schools, redrawn boundaries, curriculum updates or ways to handle graduation requirements, school districts from Spokane to North Idaho all can expect to look a little bit different in the coming years.
Here are some of the biggest changes ahead for Inland Northwest schools.
Districts in Washington state have been scrambling to fulfill a mandated class-size reduction for grades K-3. Coupled with increased enrollment in Spokane-area schools, it's created a need for more schools — not only to accommodate the enrollment growth, but to lower class sizes.
That's why Central Valley and Mead school districts went to voters with bond requests in February 2018. Both bonds won approval. Central Valley is now preparing to build a new high school — the region's first new high school since 1997. They will also add a new middle school and renovate Horizon Middle School. Mead will construct a new middle school and new elementary school in the coming years.
Spokane Public Schools, meanwhile, passed a bond in 2015. While the district wasn't planning on asking for a new bond until 2021, space concerns have prompted the district to make major changes in its use of facilities.
In June 2017, the district approved a plan to move the sixth grade from elementary school to middle school. The move is in line with what other districts in the state do, and it means Spokane won't have to build as many new elementary schools in response to space concerns. The change likely won't take place until 2021.
In 2018, the district began a partnership with the city to look at a possible joint bond request in November. With middle schools adding a grade, the district is looking to build three new middle schools as soon as possible. The city has surplus property, and the two entities have been brainstorming ways to meet both of their needs.
But the discussions have put the spotlight on Joe Albi Stadium in northwest Spokane. The district wants to downsize the stadium and put a new middle school on site. But the city prefers to demolish the stadium and build a new one downtown. Whatever is decided, expect Joe Albi to look a lot different in the coming years.

There are a couple reasons why school boundaries should be redrawn, including enrollment growth or the construction of new schools.
Those are both situations Spokane and Central Valley schools find themselves in. In Spokane, a committee spent the 2017-18 school year studying priorities for new boundaries, considering the grade configuration and facility changes. Central Valley, too, has convened a committee to study how to revise all of its middle school boundaries in 2018 — not to mention the boundary changes when the new high school is built in the district.
In North Idaho, it's not just enrollment growth causing changes to district boundaries, says Coeur d'Alene Public Schools spokesman Scott Maben. Rapid development in the area has caused confusion for families.
"Homes are being built right up to and across the boundary line [separating Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls districts]," Maben says. "Some neighbors in the same boundary line ended up split between the two districts. One house even straddled the line — one half was in Coeur d'Alene, one half in Post Falls."
The districts are hoping to redraw the boundary line to make Huetter Road the dividing point.
Think back to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s — when parents nowadays were in school learning math. The demand for jobs requiring proficiency in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) was nowhere close to the demand for those jobs now.
"We need more of those students to take those jobs on," says Matthew Henshaw, director of elementary curriculum for Spokane Public Schools.
And colleges don't just want people who can calculate equations in their head — calculators can do that.
"They want thinkers," Henshaw says. "If I'm an engineer or computer scientist, I have to problem solve and have that full package."
That's why Spokane is rolling out new math curriculum for grades K-10 in the next couple years. The new teaching aims to allow kids to use their own thinking and understand problems as they solve them.
And Spokane isn't the only district rethinking math. Coeur d'Alene Public Schools, too, will toss out its old way of teaching math in high school. Instead, the district will opt for an "integrated" math approach, combining subjects like algebra and geometry into the same course.
"We are completely re-organizing how we teach math at the high school level," Maben says. "It's a big change for us."
Since 2014, Spokane Public Schools has delayed a rule that says high school students must earn 24 credits to graduate, which was set by the Washington State Board of Education. But for the class of 2021, the requirement is now upon them: Those students must take six class periods every single day for all four years of high school.
To earn 24 credits, they must pass every single one. But last year, the Inlander reported that nearly a quarter of high school freshman in Spokane Public Schools failed at least one class their first semester, already putting them at risk of not graduating.
It's left Spokane Public Schools with a difficult decision: Either change the entire school schedule to fit more classes in a year, as other districts across the state have done in response to the 24-credit requirement; or keep the schedule the same, making more of an effort to provide support to students before they fail a course.
So far, the district has chosen the latter. But the district has been keeping other options on the table, such as switching to a seven-period day.
"That's been one of the things we've been discussing," says Shawn Jordan, Spokane's director of secondary curriculum. "That could be a decision we make."
While many of these private schools have preschools and other programs, this listing focuses on K-12. The information was provided by the schools.
