| Hello Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Intro No Child Return to index of stories... |
The one-year anniversary for No Child Left Behind has come and gone. What remains are questions about funding the federal act. |
| No Child News Conf. Return to index of stories... |
Signed into law last January, the NCLB Act requires states to set adequate yearly progress standards for all students. If a school district fails to meet the standard, they are held accountable. Students enrolled in such schools will be eligible for tutoring services, after-school programs or can transfer to another school in their district. NH has received additional federal funding for NCLB - some say it's not enough, others say it is. The author of a recent report claiming that NCLB is a fully funded mandate was in Concord last week. |
| Intro Discussion Return to index of stories... |
Here to talk about the price tag for implementing No Child Left Behind in New Hampshire - Charlie Arlinghaus of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy - which commissioned the study by Accountabilityworks. Doug Hall with the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies and Mark Joyce of the New Hampshire School Administrators Association. |

1. where is funding coming from for nclb? 2. how much additional federal funding coming to state 3. what will money be used for 4. mark, your report was out last year what conclusions did you reach 5. Charlie the Accountabilityworks study what conclusions 6.let's break areas down where disagreement as to cost a. teacher/paraprofessional salaries - NHSAA says raise 2% teachers 20% paraprofessionals why, Mark? Charlie, the Accountabilityworks study says 20% too much 5% more in line.as far as requirements for paraprofessionals self study guide and tests more useful than two year post secondary ed. Charlie your study says teacher shortage improving What will be the on-going costs to improve schools that don't achieve the yearly standards? mark, areas of math and science salaries 14% below people in private field - although accountabilityworks does add that teachers have the summer off. Charlie to address shortage - your study suggests removing barriers - recruiting mentors- what's that all about b. implementing technology in school districts - mark you estimate cost on average 200 thousand per school district to meet requirements - how come up with that figure? Charlie your study says no way 200 thousand each school district c. Cost of special ed - mark your study says an additional 4000 students will be sited as special ed as a result of nclb - why? Charlie, your study says because even special ed students have to take tests, there will be no "incentive" to code kids special ed to avoid accountability d. costs of additional tests - Charlie the Accountabilityworks folks claim that the NHSAA put cost of all tests under same umbrella - ,makes assumption that current tests paid for by the state would be paid by federal government e. issue of local control here in NH surrendering to federal --comment on that f. at what point will we know that the state can or can't handle nclb requirements using federal funds? |
| Intro Mojo Return to index of stories... |
One of life's most enriching experiences is listening to or performing music. For many Granite State musicians there are few venues where they can be heard. One of those venues is nestled in Franconia Notch. The Mojo Music Studio is home to some hard working people who make it their full-time job to share talented voices with the world. Celene Ramadan has the story. |
| Mojo Music Return to index of stories... |
Uncle Joe: We usually get up 4, 5 in the morning and master our music very early in the morning and, um, then eat. Track - Uncle Joe Cimino took his passion for music and started the Mojo Music Studio in 1997. The goal: to get independent, local music heard. Uncle Joe: "I had a band years ago when I was young- er and I wanted to hear my songs on the radio and I couldn't so I went everywhere and knocked on doors and finally I banged on this radio station in Littleton, the Notch 106.3 and I'm like "I'm sick of this, I can't hear my music - so you should have a radio show" I told him and he said "Okay, big mouth, you know, you want a show --- do one." So, I came home. Changed my underwear a few times and uh, put a radio show together. Track - The show is called The Studio. And it's purpose is to get something new over the airwaves. Uncle Joe: Not to put down the corporations - I don't want to put anything down BUT you are forced to listen to what "they" want you to hear, whoever "they" is. And this is a chance to hear really unique different types of music. Track - Bringing independent music to the masses doesn't come cheap. But Uncle Joe finds alternatives so bands don't have to foot the bill. Uncle Joe - People want to hear independent music so I didn't want to make a living off of charging my fellow musicians money - I didn't want to charge anything for it. So, what we did was find people for sponsors that believed in what we were doing to support and make independent music heard. Track - Mojo Music's Frank Grima finds those sponsors to support the show. He also sends the show out to radio stations to get it syndicated. Frank - I know musicians in my life that are struggling trying to get their music heard and there's just really no place for them to have that done right now. So this is a chance for me to add a little bit in getting some music heard to a larger audience. Joe In the past few months, we've gotten ourselves into Australia, New Zealand and just today as we're doing this interview we got picked up by London England. So, when people come here and play live, it's getting out there. Track - There is no shortage of music to play as more and more bands send in their material for a shot at some free exposure. Frank-They send it to us, we give it a listen and the best of the best get on the show. And the really best of the best, the cream of the crop as we call it gets to come here and do a live interview and get featured on the show. STANDUP -- NH Band Solid 8 is at Mojo Music today recording their live performance for the radio show, the Studio. Dawg I was a little skeptical coming up the first time I was like - there's this studio that puts out a radio show and they don't want money and it was like - this can't be right, you know like if it's too good to be true it probably is. I was skeptical. But, their product is awesome. Jay - The sound was great. Everyone's attitudes were very accomodating. They were all really nice. Uncle Joe Intro - "We have a great show lined up for you we're very excited because Solid 8 is in the studio - they're going to be playing live right here at Mojo Studio just for you." Uncle Joe: There's not a lot of bands like Solid 8. They're right at the top right now. Dawg: It's not that MTV is the ultimate goal - I don't need to be in rotation on MTV every 2 hours that'd be one level of commercial success. To be able to do this full time and not have to be in the band situations of we do rehearsals and we do gigs around full time jobs or whatever it is that puts the money in our wallet. Frank: For these bands to do that they'd have to research all these radio stations, send their music - a full CD for review in hopes that they might get a slot or airplay at some point It's a tremendous amount of resources that a band would have to exert to get where they want to go. Dawg -You need to scratch backs like crazy because no one has all the resources, no one can afford all the resources or be trained enough to utilize all the resources. Track - Mojo does their fair share of back scratching. They share their resources with bands who gladly accept their generosity. Jay - You know, they got a big smile for you and they're like "HEY, WE'LL HELP YOU OUT IN ANY WAY WE CAN!" It's really, it's really great. Dawg - "And you know going into the control room after a few takes, taking a listen - the product's great. I'm very excited about this place. I hope to come back a third time. That'd be fantastic." Joe - We feel like we're really happy that we can help musicians and feel like we're doing a good thing and our sponsors belive in us and it's just the circle is completed. Track -- For New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Celene Ramadan. ENDING SHOT IS THE OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO AND MUSIC FADES ITSELF OUT. |

| Intro Potholes Return to index of stories... |
Finally, we take a look at something that's starting to pop up just about everywhere. They're potholes: big and small. And if you thought the potholes we are experiencing now are bad, wait until spring. Some time ago we had the chance to join the New Hampshire Department of Transportation in their ongoing battle with the pothole. We couldn't resist bringing you the story again as producer Scott Jones shows us the anatomy of a pothole. |
