| Because of its geography, Nebraska has attempted to expand distance learning to state colleges and to small and rural schools. In addition, community colleges play a central role in facilitating GED programs. Since September 1999, Nebraska has had a PreK-16 steering committee made up of representatives from the Governor's office, legislators, higher education, K-12, early childhood, and business. The initiative receives limited support from NCLB funds. Activities directed at improving seamless transition in mathematics, English/language arts and world languages content areas have been implemented. These activities were developed as the result of statewide P-16 stakeholder meetings (the "P-16 Council"), during which they discussed what students need to know and be able to do relative to state content standards and how this translates to expectations for college entrance. The program is thought to be reasonably successful despite not having state monetary support. Additionally, the P-16 Council has discussed achievement and participation gaps of minority and low-income students. |
