Ellen Doskey
Thank you Miss Edwards for introducing me to Shakespeare when I was in high school. I love him to this day.
Amy McHenry
Ms. McHenry, thank you for being an inspiration. You were and are an incredible math teacher and I am blessed to be able to work with you now as I now teach our students. I'm so thankful to have you as my mentor, but especially my friend.
Mary Melnick
I want to thank my 6th grade teacher Mrs. Smith who taught me that my thoughts and ideas were valuable. I will never forget her. She is my role model of what makes a great teacher!
Jocelyn Coltrin
Thank you, Dr. Marilyn Whirry, most excellent English teacher at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, Calif. You taught me how to write an essay, and now, I'm an 8th Grade English teacher at Slater Middle School.
Eugene Fellows inspired me with her exciting presentations of American history, creative projects and fantastic sense of humor. We put Custer on trial, reenacted the Constitutional convention and debated many details in history. Thank you for all the hard work.
Jose Aguirre
To Ms. Beck My ninth grade Social Studies teacher from El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera. Thank you for believing in me enough to recommend me for Honors TEAM. Because of your gesture, I see every one of my students as able to rise to the occasion. Jehovah bless you always for your kindness and trust.
Joy Pierce
Thank you Mrs. Emery, You made third grade at Toluca Lake Elementary, in North Hollywood Calif. a memorable year. In fact it was so memorable, that I became a teacher. Thanks for seeing the best in me. Sincerely, Joy Pierce (Glassmire)
I'd like to thank Mme. Williams, my French teacher at CHS for four years. She made learning a new language fun and you could tell she really cared about us not only as students, but as people. Thanks Madame W!
Dale Borgeson
I want to thank Mr. Stratton my sixth grade teacher. I remember him as a very soft spoken man who got the respect from the students because he respected them. I also remember that he was a very hard working guy. I would see him working part time pumping gas at the station my parents frequented. I want to thank Mr. Stratton for doing read alouds with our class. I still remember coming in from lunch to hear the next chapter of "Island of the Blue Dolphins" back in 1965.
Liz Landrum
Dear Miss Brown, I was a shy third grader that had not learned to read. This was the fifth school that I had attended. You taught a second-third combo. Your little bunch of third graders were slower than the students in the other classes. So, instead of having reading groups you used plays and poems. This was just the inspiration I needed. I can still recall being the mouse in the Christmas play. We had to memorize our lines by reading them over and over again. When I moved for the sixth time in January, I was a reader. In fact, I did so well that I was tested and put into the Mentally Gifted Minor (MGM) program. Forty years later, I am celebrating 25 years of teaching. My life has been blessed a hundred fold. I have only to thank my God and teachers like you. You made a difference in my life! My sincere thanks, Liz
Lorrie K. Andrade-Beam
To Mr. Delgado, my 4th grade teacher: Thank you for giving me a voice and teaching me how to be a respectful rebel; thank you for showing me the powerful tool that education can be, and for inspiring in me a love of learning. You'll never know how important these things have been to my development academically, socially, and spiritually. To Mr. Martinez: Thank you for being such an incredibly motivating role model. Good teaching is good teaching no matter what the subject. I use your teaching model in my classes to this day. But above all, thank you for inspiring me to dream, and to dream big. To Ted Hamilton: Thank you for showing me that you can meld passion and critical thinking to create a beautiful environment in which meaningful growth, both academic and personal, can occur. Finally, to all teachers that I've had the pleasure of learning from...Mahalo nui loa...thank you.
Rori Garfinkel
Thank you Ellie Goldstein for trusting your students to run our classroom! You gave me confidence I didn't have before and you taught me how to be a leader. I will always remember our little "co-op"!
Nancy De Yager Gilchrist
Mr. Tell, You were a most incredible middle school teacher for so many of us. I really appreciate your upbeat attitude and how you made learning "cool" for so many of us in the late '60s. I realize this may not actually get to you, but it's lovely to be able to recognize you in this manner.
Barbara Bentley
Thank you Mrs. Gloria Takahashi. You re-ignited my belief in myself. I was floating through High School, and you directed me toward the sciences. You believed in me, and showed me how to be successful. I can honestly say you were one of the most important teachers of my life.
Diana Lanane
Thank You to Bruce Collel of Camarillo, Calif. You are an inspiring teacher and made each day at high school bearable. Having music as a safe place was such a great help in my life! Thank you!
Terry Burns
I was that student who liked all her teachers and was influenced by all of them.I loved school and did well. When I was in 6th grade, I had a hard time personally as my parents were divorcing and I was diagnosed with a serious illness. Mr. Hoover was my 6th grade teacher who never failed to compliment me, never failed to make sure I felt competent and nurtured. thanks so much. You stand out among all my excellent teachers!
Molly Byrne
Thanks for being a teacher at Faiwood Byrnie! It wouldn't be the same without you! Lippy
Sharon Lane
I'm sixty-four, so I know my counselor at James Monroe High School in the San Fernando Valley is either retired, or gone on to the "big classroom in the sky". She changed my life. I had scheduled myself into the non-college prep senior history class. When I went in to get out of it, she placed me in the class with all of the geniuses in my graduating class, to teach me a lesson. That made me so angry, that I aced the class! She taught me that you can out-work smart. That has made all the difference. Thank you "Mrs I Can't Remember Your Name", but I'll never forget your impact!
Kathryn Brewer
I wish to thank Mrs. Rita Morgan! She was an outstanding master teacher! Thank you!
Deanne Cedar
Thank you to my first music teacher, Lynette Van Voris, Bell Intermediate, Garden Grove. I remember when she walked into my third grade classroom to recruit for the instrumental elementary program. From that day forward, music has been my passion and I share my passion for music everyday to my band students.
Terry Burns
I was that student who liked all her teachers and was influenced by all of them.I loved school and did well. When I was in 6th grade, I had a hard time personally as my parents were divorcing and I was diagnosed with a serious illness. Mr. Hoover was my 6th grade teacher who never failed to compliment me, never failed to make sure I felt competent and nurtured. Thanks so much. You stand out among all my excellent teachers!
Lisa Ward Lingo-Jung
Cheryl Bird, PE Teacher at Kerman High School. She was my inspiration for everything! She believed in me as a mediocre athlete (tennis); she believed in me as a student; she believed in me as a teacher's aide; and she believed in me as the Girl Athletic Association's President my senior year. Mrs. Bird was my mentor. Three years after graduating high school, we were pregnant together for the first time and due around the same time. I've continued to keep in contact with her over the years, but not as often as I would like. Thank you for this opportunity to page homage to one of the finest!
Jennifer Galvin
My second grade teacher, all those years ago, inspired me to be a teacher. Miss Harrington was a wonderful, heart-filled- with-love teacher, who loved this so shy, small, fragile girl, who had no confidence and the loss of her father so young. She believed in me, and gave the biggest, best hugs a child could remember. I loved her, and from that day on, knew I was going to be a teacher just like her. I've never had the chance to find her and thank her for her inspiration - I've been teaching 21 years now, and my days today are like my first. My love for teaching is as strong now, if not stronger, than it was when I started in 1991. Thank you Miss Harrington, for being a hero to me! I can only hope and pray my students will look at me, as I have always looked at you!
Danitsa Matich Finch
I want to thank Sue Ellen Grenko for inspiring and encouraging me in 1970-3. I will never be able to thank her enough for my (so far) 33 fabulous years of teaching high school English and Spanish!
My fifth grade teacher made an impact on me, during personal struggles of having my mother leave my family at the beginning of the school year. My mind wasn't on school, but somehow Ms. Harggis made me feel important, even though I wasn't feeling so special. She showed me how life was what ever you made it, as she shared the importance of life choices. I didn't talk much, so I don't think she would even remember me, but she sat me right in front of her so every word she spoke was inspirational. She never knew what I was going through, no one did, because I didn't tell anyone my secret. Nevertheless, she was so understanding and spoke words that motivated me to do the same. I am now a teacher at the same elementry, Heliotrope ES, because I want to be the Ms. Harggis for all our students that needs us.
Janice Walker
Thank you Sandy Quigg for inspiring me. Hope you're well!
Carlos Solis
Dear Mr. Shackleton, Thank you for taking the time to notice the potential in me when no one else did! You're unselfish actions through patience and loving kindness will forever be etched on my heart. It is because of your "going above and beyond" attitude that I was able to persevere and leave a life of gangs, drugs and a really bad home life. I hope as a teacher, I've been able to "pass it forward." I really don't have the words to express my gratitude for what you did for me, but I will say I am glad God made our paths cross!! Sincerely and with a very grateful heart, Carlos Solis : )
Jeanine Wackerman
Thank you to Sally Lord and Nicole Moranda for inspiring me to become a teacher. It was your dedication and devotion to young people that I took for granted in my past and now truly admire and emulate.
Stephanie Cecena
For all of the great memories I have of third and fourth grade (square dancing, dissecting a cow's eye, and the wonderful plays we performed)...thank you, Mrs. Castillo!
Trena Wright
I have had many wonderful teachers , and they were rare jewels. Ms. Juanita Robinson, Ms. Gladys White, Ms. Lekus, Ms. Vawter, and Mr. Raymond Bandar are the five who were amazing. Their personalities are unique and they really inspired me to love learning, take on challenges, and give my all! I will always love and appreciate them.
Kathy Green
Thank you Sister Mary Thomasina. WHen that terrible tragedy struck my family and me you were the only person that I could bare my true feelings to. The letters we exchanged were more powerful than any other options during that difficult 12th year of life. When I went into teaching I had no intention of teaching middle school, yet I have spent more than 20 years being there for 12 year olds. Playing forward the blessing you gave to me has been a wonderful way to spend my lifetime. Thank you. Love, Kathleen
Erin Hale
I would just like to say thank you to all of the teachers I've ever had. All the way from preschool through college. Because no matter how much I loved you, or how badly you got on my nerves (with all that you asked of me, lol), I am where I am in life today because of what you taught me. Being a teacher has shown me what and important and difficult job educators have. We are SO underpaid, underrated overworked and under appreciated. I know that we don't hear it enough, so on this teacher day I would like to say to all of my fellow educators that I appreciate you and thank you for all that you do!
Nancy Pealer Johnson
I am retiring this year and I cherish the last 21 years as a Special Education teacher. I know I have reached for the stars. I like to thank all my teachers and colleaques who had influenced me along the way. You have definitely reached for the stars - you teach as Christa McAuliffe said.
Dear Ms. Aldrich, It's the Day of the Teacher, and you came to mind. You have been such a relentless advocate for students, believing in their potential and contributing to their growth. I just had to give you the recognition that comes all too rarely for great teachers like you. Thank you for your belief in me and my love of learning. Teachers like you make learning come alive! Warm regards, Gerri McNenny
Debbie Philley
Thank you to my 5th grade teacher Ms. Steptoe who taught at Towne Ave Elementary School in Carson, CA in 1970. She not only was a creative and engergetic teacher, but she taught me about the importance of social justice and civil rights. She literally changed the course of my life regarding tolerance and speaking out for injustices agaisnst others.
Dr. Sue Smoot
Thank you Lynn Ewing at Saddleback HS for your understanding and the many little things you went out of your way to do. You made me feel both normal and special. Thank you Renan Musick at Saddleback HS for giving me a chance to express myself in sports and be good in something. You allowed me to help you - I was so honored to be able to do that. Thank you Ms. Walter at SJSU for being an amazing example of a coach/teacher. Thank you Carol Mooney at Chapman for truly being a teacher of teachers. You showed me how to teach. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you Dr. Jane Smoot for your support when I was learning how to teach. In only a few moments, I saw how to gently but honestly help a student do better. Thank you Suzi Tigner for your example of being open to all types of students and how you make each one know that you care about them and they are special.
Genevieve Rosales Di Giulio
Mrs. Bouchet, you somehow managed to get this dejected, disillusioned little sixth grader (who had just moved to a new town) to renew her love for education. Who knew I'd end up casting my net out to catch middle schoolers who needed me, too! Twelve years of teaching and I love every moment of it. We touch lives. It's that simple.
Susan Holstrom
Thank you to Mr. Bob Schaal - my all-time favorite teacher from Kraemer Jr. High in Placentia, Calif. He influenced my life in so many ways, most importantly in helping me believe in myself. I realized through my connection with him that he was the type of teacher I aspired to become. A BIG THANKS to you Bob - you are still my teaching hero!
Stephanie Lawrence Bird
Thank you Jan MacDougall for creating such a safe environment so that I could blossom. You turned me on to learning in general. You are amazing! I can still remember so many vivid moments in your classroom.
Corinne McIntire
My two favorite teachers by far were my high school history teacher Dr. Cross and my high school counselor Mr. Parmer. During the finals week my freshman year my most favorite person in the whole wide world, my dad, passed away right in front of me. These two had all my teachers freeze my grades and for the last two weeks of my freshman year while I just sat in my chair during my classes. All through high school these two not only were great teachers to me but they also became very important role models and father figures as well. When I became a teacher, I went back to visit them both and told them how much they meant to me. It really meant a lot to them to hear that. They will always have a very special place in my heart. Los Alamitos High School, Class of '92
Judi Jackson
Thanks to four of my teachers for inspiring me from my 8th grade math teacher, Mrs. Rawson, who made me feel so smart in math and encouraged me to lead others in our math class to my eighth grade PE teacher, Mrs. DeMaglio, who encouraged me to go forward in sports, before Title IX came to be. I loved sports and I was the only straight A student in the eighth grade. My high school business teacher, Mr. Long asked me to assist other teachers in copying, typing, etc., and to boost my keyboard skills, which have always stayed with me and make my computer desktop publishing superfast. Ms. Ellisor, my high school advisor in cheerleading. We have always stayed in touch – she has been a very caring teacher! Thank you!
Barbara Muskat
Mr. Dahl was my high school art teacher at James Monroe High School who influenced me to pursue teaching and teaching art. He made art class fun and awakened me to the art of teaching. Thank you Mr. Dahl and a handful of other teachers who really cared about their students and the subjects helped me to understand.
Isabelle Bishop
Thank you to Mr. Decker who taught at Mclane High School in Fresno. You made a big difference in my life. Not just as a great math teacher and coach, but also our advisor in Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Thank you for all you did for us.
Patricia Ellis
Thank you Betty Alexander and Lee Christisen at Scandinavian Middle School in Fresno, 1980-81. Thank you for your support!
Victoria Kortlang
Thank you Mr. Slaker, my 6th grade teacher at Hardy Elementary, for making me feel worthwhile even though I had no interest in school at the time. You never put me down. Who would have believed that one day I, too, would be a teacher.
Sherry Wright
Thank you Dee Frank, my English teacher at Torrey Pines H.S. You were my young and enthusiastic mentor, always pushing me to do more than what was expected so that I would grow more. I have been teaching high school English for 26 years and aim for another 11, and you inspired me to be here.
Karen Martz
Mr. Aaron Works was my high school band teacher. He inspired me to not be afraid of hard work and determination of a goal for my future. He believed in me when I doubted myself. He encouraged me even when his words were met by my non-appreciative teenage attitude. He inspired me to always be a positive influence to others and never give up. He saw potential in me beyond my immature years and shared his evaluation of my gift in a heartfelt letter of recommendation to my college music program. I am forever grateful for his extraordinary example of what every educator should be and strive each day to live up to his example. Thank you Mr. Works! The heavens are blessed to have you among their midst. Till we meet again.
David R. Vaughn
Thank you to Mr. Lloyd Faulkner of Joaquin Miller Jr. High, Sacramento. Three years of social studies, grades 7-9, you helped me learn to think, to question, and to think about what I was told and what I was taught. Thank You.
Tracy Oman Welter
Thank you to Barry Tambara who was my Activities Director at Brea Olinda High School! He was a wonderful mentor - once I became a teacher I had the pleasure of becoming his colleague and now that I myself am an Activities Director at my school I realize even more the significant role he played in the lives of so many of his students! Thank you Mr. T!
Jena (Vallee) Smith
I want to thank Ms. Paloma Leon de Johnston of Montessori schools for encouraging a life-long love of learning in me. I also want to thank Mrs. Mayra Sosin (retired from Foothill High School) for recognizing my potential and inspiring me to become the kind of teacher who shows how much I care every day!
Amanda Mello
Thank you, Mrs. Rogers! In 4th grade you inspired me to make personal changes to positively affect our environment. You were a leader in project-based learning. I strive to have even a fraction of the impact that you were able to have on students. Thank you for being making California a better place!
Heather Malone
I want to thank my 10th-grade English teacher, Ms. Ryan, for showing me the type of teacher I didn't want to be. She was so mean to us, but I learned so much from her. When I came to be a teacher, I knew I wanted to treat my students with respect and smile once in a while. I also knew that, like Ms. Ryan, my students needed to know grammar rules and vocabulary and to pick apart a word to understand it more. Thanks, Ms. Ryan.
Larry Resendez
Thank you to all the wonderful teachers at my home school at Van Buren Elementary School for the wonderful job you are doing today (May 11, 2012). I am only a substitute teacher and my present experience substituting for teachers there have been amazing. Please keep up the good – no – wonderful work all of you are doing at my home school on the south side of Stockton, Calif. I am so proud of our teachers there today.
Danny Gonzalez
I want to thank Mr Frank Tamony, for shaping soo many lives at Saint Peter Martyr Parochial Grammer School in Pittsburg, Calif., during the '70s. He was an inspiration to do well, try your best and make wise decisions! Thank you "F.T" I am now a special education instructor and have worked with children for 20 years because of you, Thank you from th bottom of my heart. May you live forever in so many ! God Bless
Denise deGrasse
Thank you, Sr.Marguerite, for spending time with me before school, letting me help you with the bulletin boards, and ultimately inspiring me to become a teacher.
Sandy Walker
I have been teaching for 22 years. My 6th grade teacher at Allen Ave. School in San Dimas was forgiving and I was so grateful. My parents were going through a divorce. My friends and I were playing in the walkway and Mrs. Echeverri asked us to move over. I made a comment that made my friends gasp and my teacher stop and turn back to me. She bent down and whispered some understanding words in my ear and left. My friends thought I was going to the office, but I wasn't. I knew I was just given a gift. I remember her when things get tough with the kids in my own class. I wish I had let her know many years ago how much I appreciated her understanding during a rough time for me. Thank you now.
J. Matt Villalobos
Thank you Teachers for all of the extra stuff we do with out being viewed. I cannot think of another profession so rewarding. My 6th grade teacher Mr. Sawyer influenced me to set my sights on becoming an excellent reading teacher, he was so emotional when he read aloud to us in class, he really showed the artistry of the author. My college professor Dr. Patterson influenced me to serve the most needy of students and to derive huge satisfaction from seeing slightest incremental improvements in that student. Thank you America for giving me your best students!
Eileen Folstad Mauldin
Thank you to Marlene Vest, years ago at William McKinley Elementary School in Long Beach, Ca. She was my 4th and 5th grade teacher. I think of her all the time. In her class in the 1960's I wanted to be just like her and decided then to become a teacher. I've now been teaching since 1977. Thank you Mrs. Vest.
Robert Earl Groeling
Thank you, Mrs. Wilson When I was in first grade my teacher went out of her way to find an article about a survivor of the Titanic. She was attempting to get me to read. I still remember that. It would have been in at least 1961. That was very thoughtful of her and she apparently knew I was facinated with the Titanic so she went out of her way to encourage me personally. Very Nice. Thank you. PS Unfortunately shes probably not alive anymore but we can take heart in that personal touch a teacher can give to a student.
Vicki L. Perry
Thank you, Mrs. McLaughlin, for instilling in me a lifelong love of books. My fourth grade at Harmon Elementary School, was the most comforting classroom for an awkward little girl. Thank you from a fellow
Miles Brown
To Mr. and Mrs. MacFarland, my 4th, 5th and 6th grade teachers: you can't imagine the impact you had on not just me, but all the students you taught at Alice Birney Elementary. I still talk to them, and every single one has glowing things to say. You were truly an inspiration to us all. Thank you for your helping us all become better people. We (I think I may speak on behalf of all of us) will never forget you.
Erin Moran
My mother is my inspiration. She is an awesome kindergarten teacher and she inspired me to also become a teacher. I teach high school and I have no idea how she deals with the organized chaos that is kindergarten every day.
Donabeth Houx
Thank you Mrs. Militich, my language/literature teacher my junior and senior years in high school. You were such an inspiration for me. I had very little confidence in myself academically, but your love of literature and writing infused itself into me, and I began to write, write, write; essays, poetry, especially poetry. You were so supportive, and saw something in me that no one else had seen. I love you, where ever you are. I think of you often with the greatest appreciation and sense of awe.
Julie Pitchforth Munyer
The teacher that most influenced my life would have to be Dr. Yvonne Gold of Cal State University, Long Beach. Dr. Gold was the instructor in the final course for my masters degree, the course that prepares you to take the comprehensive exam. The work and expectations in that class taught me that I could indeed do ANYTHING. It prepared me to tackle education and lead me to be a mentor teacher for many years in the Ontario/Montclair School District. Dr. Gold had a great influence on my both personally and professionally.Thank you Dr. Gold.
Thuy Cat-Aurelio
Miss Diana Kawauchi, my 10th grade high school geometry teacher, at Saddleback High School in Santa Ana, Calif., was my inspiration. It was you who believed in me and gave me my first paid job as a math tutor at age 16. It was you and geometry, that had influenced me to become a math teacher. Thank you for being a great part of my career life!
LeeAnn Hickam Constant
Thank you Mrs. Markozy, Linda Vista Elementary, Pacifica, Calif., for making my 4th grade year so much fun. You had positive reinforcement for every single learning objective and I can't begin to image how you managed it for so many students!
Mayra Montanez
Thank you Mr. Haas, Mr. Sternshine and Mrs. Nieves, from Mills Elementary in Whittier Calif. I appreciate all you do, thanks a million times for your patients, humor and the wonderful memories. Mr. Haas, I will always remember what 7+8=15, Mr. Sternshine your music is always in my mind; I can still hear your guitar playing spinning wheel. Mrs. Nieves, thank you for your individual teaching techniques and for standing up for me when no one else did. These teachers at Mills elementary were my true inspiration on why I wanted to teach. I wish you the best in life. Sincerely Mayra Montanez Class of 1993
Patricia Harper
I'd like to thank Mr. Vaught from Ontario High. He was my business teacher and always pushed for his students to excel. When I told him I was going to be a teacher he gave me lots of ideas on how to build relationships with my students. He will be 90 in August and I still have dinner with him and share stories and ideas. Thank you Mr. Vaught you are the best!
Alejandro Estrada
Too many to thank! Here are a few: Carmen Hale, Elaine Feuer, Janet Rhodes, Harry Grant, Susan Richards, Angela Reading, Jerry McClain - You all made elementary school special! John Brady showed me the meaning of the word integrity! Gary Nozawa, Susan Anderson, Deborah Thompson-Bohne - Inspired me to never give up!
Nikita Rose
I want to say thank you for your tireless effort and devotion in the teaching field. You inspire the students to believe they can succeed because of your success. You are diligent, resourceful and creative in the classroom and for that, I say one million thankyous!
Mr. Del Rosario, For believing in me, I thank you. My science project was the very least of all, but you thought differently and I won the grand prize. What an honor to have been one of your students! Regards, One of your 7th grade student from Berendo Junior High (class of 1982)
Jennifer Fernandez
Mrs. Truebridge, thank you for believing in me at such a young age. I am truely grateful for all you have done for me and for inspiring me to become a better teacher.
Jennie Bremer
Thank you to Mr. Miller, Esperanza High School, Anaheim, 1989! You were (and still are) the bomb!
Megan McLaughlin
Mr Gerber, my sixth grade teacher in Ambler, Pa. Cooking contests, talent shows, laughter, and great teaching.
Kara Lohr
Thank you Jan for taking me under your wing! I would not be the teacher that I am without your knowledge and support!
Brenda Dempsey
I was blessed to have MANY wonderful teachers who influenced me to find my passions and gifts, but there was one teacher who showed me how I could combine these passions and gifts into one profession: Mr. Kelishes at Pacifica High in GGUSD. Mr. K brought history alive, showed me how to write an essay, challenged me to seek knowledge and to always improve. Thanks, Mr. K for inspiring me to be the teacher I am today.
Lynda Dougherty-Kelly
To Mr Peter A Johns who taught at Tulelake Middle School in the 70s: Thank you for answering my letters when I moved away. Thank you for staying in touch for years, thank you for taking me to lunch at the Smorgasbord when I moved and above all else thank you for believing in a scared little girl with much love.
Pam Jewell
Roy Engoran was my 10th and 12th grade English teacher. I came from a family of teachers but it was Mr. Engoran who helped me to realize that I loved language and writing. I have had the chance on many occasions to thank him for inspiring me to become a teacher.
Laurel Ryerson
I want to thank Diane Christener, formerly of Del Rey Elementary School, for making me feel like school was a positive place to be. I never disliked school, but once I got into her class, I LOOOOOOVED school. Though I don't recall exactly what she said or did to inspire me this way, I will always remember that I felt valued, appreciated, and noticed.
Jeanine Muzzio Bura
Betty Lou Lighty was the third grade teacher to five Muzzio children at Alta Vista Elementary School in the Union School District. Each one of us had a remarkable experience in her class, and 30+ years later still talk about her. Thank you Mrs. Lighty for inspiring me to become a teacher! I have been in the field since 1987 and love it every day!
Holly Capozzi
My sixth grade teacher Leah Stuart will forever hold a special place in my heart. She was the first teacher I had after my parents lengthy custody battle was over. She made me feel comfortable, cared about, and grounded in my new school. Even though our lives are busy, I am so happy to still have a relationship with her almost thirty years later. Thank you "Mrs. Stuart"!
Acianita Lucero
Ms. Arlene Hood at Moreau Catholic H.S. taught me how to look for something good or beautiful everyday.
Lisa Phelps Linn
I thank my kindergarten teacher, Irene Counts at Hawthorne Elementary in San Diego. Not only did she make me love her when I was five, she hosted me as a student teacher when I was 32 and had gone back to school for me credential. She was autocratic but kind, directed but creative, in short, she was the kind of educator I aspire to be. Thank you Mrs. Counts.
Cathy Coates
Mrs. Cooper was my 4th grade teacher in Bridge City, La. She was amazing in every way. She made learning fun, and that shaped my teaching philosophy. If learning isn't fun, we're not doing it right. Thanks, Mrs. Cooper! I became a 4th grade teacher too!
Kay Pettit
Dear Mr. John Ross, Yo were my musical inspiration at Rubidoux HS in Girls Choir , Acappella Choir and Madrigals. Thank yo for being a fine musician, teacher, and mentor. Because of you I went to Chapman College and am now finishing my doctorate degree. God Bless! Kay
Ann Katzburg
Thank you to Mr. Fisher, my fourth and fifth grade teacher. You were so influential in my choice to become a teacher. I was a shy student and doubted my ability, but you promoted me in every aspect of school, allowing me to participate in book discussions via the Jr. Great Books program, attend enrichment activities in music and drama, and allowed me to participate in an enrichment science class. You taught me to heighten my expectations of myself, provided a safe environment, and gave me a life-long love affair with reading! Thank you for being a tremendous teacher.
Robin Gray-Stewart
Thank you Mr. Le May for being my 8th grade science teacher. Your enthusiasm, spontaneity, and creative encouragement helped us all to see science in a whole new light. I remember homework where we were assigned projects such as observing the water in our showers or designing a spaceship to Mars with all the survival equipment we would need. The range of topics covered was wonderful, but the best part was teaching us to love science. I remember your slides of Vietnam and that you became a father that year. Your teaching was personal and full of your love of life. I'll never forget that year. Hope you have had a fantastic life and had the opportunity to touch many more lives.
Roni MacDonald
I want to thank my 5th grade teacher, Mr. Dodge, from Glen Oak Elementary School in Charter Oak/Covina, Calif. As a young girl, I had missed a lot of school. Because I was shy and quiet, I was easily passed over, but Mr. Dodge held me to higher standards, which was the beginning of my awakening period. I now teach 5th grade and lovingly touch as many lives as possible by holding my students to a higher standard. Thank you again, Mr. Dodge.

Mr. Mannetti from Union City, You were my favorite all-time teacher! I remember that you made me feel smart and special! Sixth grade was great because of you!
Jessica Serrano
Mrs. Gruber, 6th grade English at Meadows Elementary in Valencia, Calif. She was an amazing woman, and I treasured learning with her! I remember her encouragement to like poetry, write stories, and try new things. Mr. Pew, AP Government at Hart High School in Newhall, Calif. He helped make learning important to me! I can still remember wearing my red sequin dress in front of the class singing my political Christmas song (twice). You both helped make me into the teacher, mother, wife, and woman I am today. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing to teach.
June McCullough
During my junior year in high school, my English teacher encouraged me to join the school newspaper staff. She saw in me a potential writer. She gave me the self-confidence to become a great writer and to go to college and become an English teacher myself! Thank you Mrs. Reidell!
Karen (Jones) McNay
My high school P.E. teacher, Donna McKenna, probably saved my life. I lived in a very abusive home and started doing drugs my freshman year. I didn't care what happened to me. For some reason she took me under her wing. She was a total stranger and cared about me. It made me start caring about myself. Sophomore year I decided to do better in school and make a plan for my future. It was then that I decided to become a teacher, so that perhaps through my experiences I could help a youth find hope and choose the right path. Years later I found a stack of letters that Mrs. McKenna had sent to my mom telling her what an amazing young woman I was and how proud my mom must be of me.

Wow, it is happiness for me in this mire of budgetary negativity that I raise up for praises Annette Iwamoto who tirelessly supports each and every student and teacher who requests assistance, who spends countless hours considering the best ways to engage student learning on all levels and has a humility that simply testifies to her genuine gift as an educator of educators. She models for me what the best in each of us looks like when combined in one teacher. Thank you, Annette!
Judith Sanderson
Thank you, Mrs. Bronner, for teaching me to read in first grade and for make bunny ear hats with us!
Claudia Shehan
I feel very bless because I have several great teachers who gave me not only the tools for academic success, but for self-confidence as well. Mrs. Vigil, my 6th grade teacher, inspired me to become a teacher. She created a community and a safety net in and out the classroom. The space in this e-mail will not be enough to describe all she did as a teacher, as a person. While in high school I have Mr. Cerdeno, Mrs. Menjivar, and many others who taught me Math, Literature, Biology, and guided me to choose my path. To all of them, thank you for your dedication, and hard work.
Mary Ellen Dahlke
Thank you Mrs. Jeannie Orr, my high school Advanced Biology teacher. With your love and enthusiasm for science, you let me know that it was OK for a girl to be a science teacher, a rare event many years ago when I started my teaching career. With your understanding and patience, you helped a shy and inhibited girl who loved science overcome her fears of public speaking. I now have female students who are also showing interest in science teaching, and find that I have to stop myself from talking to give the kids a chance to share their wonderful ideas! Although you are no longer with us here on Earth, I am sure that you are still watching over all of your loving students.
Roberta Pyne
Thank you to my number one hero of a teacher, my father, Cal Rossi. He taught and coached many high school students in his day. But, he also taught many CTA members and me how to advocate for student and teacher rights through collective bargaining. Thank you, Dad, for leading the way! You are a great coach and teacher!
Dana Tauber
Thank you Mrs. Goldstein, Mrs. Gohata and Mr. DeRoche from Bassett Street School in the 1970's
Frances Nicholson
I want to thank Maggie Barnard, my sixth grade teacher in 1965-66, who took a very young, very overconfident know-it-all outcast and opened the door to the world of community. I had skipped two grades by the time I hit 6th grade, and had no idea why nobody liked me. In her gentle, motherly but no-nonsense way, Mrs. Barnard brought me to a sense of how the things I said and did impacted others. With that to work with, I was able to reinvent myself to some extent, upon entering junior high the following year, and become a better person. She taught me many other things, but that was the most important. When I heard she died in the mid-90s, I wept openly. Thank you, Mrs. Barnard, for everything.
Lisa Menell
Thank you Judy Saute for being a great "unofficial" mentor teacher. I try to emulate you, but have not come close. You are always understanding, always smiling, and never angry.
Linda Ramirez
I would love to thank my high school teacher Mr. Angels, from El Monte High school in El Monte Calif. He was a caring person and the only one who took time to ask how I was doing and was nice to talk to. He took an interest in his students and encouraged them the strive high. He was my influence to go into teaching. Thank you Mr. Angels, wherever you may be.
Y. Varela
Thank you to Mr. Harsh at Lynwood High to opening our eyes to learning about the world and what it has to offer. Your compassion to teach not only art, but also about life, will always inspire my career.
Heidi Moreno
Thank you to Mrs. Ertel, Mrs. Nolte, Mrs. Rosell and Mrs. Martinson for helping me to be my best and find my way. You all inspired my love of reading and of learning. Each one of you influenced me to become the person and teacher I am today!
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

This worked well for E, who always respected the tree.
This worked well for A., who I trained not to touch the tree in a single day.
This worked extra well for Q., who holds the record for being our tiniest child. She couldn't reach the tree until this year, at age three, when she knows better.
However, we have this other child.
After lunch today, O. nonchalantly grabbed the extension cord (to which was attached our beloved tree) and walked off with it.
The table top tree? Well, it didn't fall completely to the floor, but that is because it got stuck between the table and the wall, where the base made a bit of a gash in the wall.
Anybody remember that song from Sesame Street? One of these things is not like the others... Tweet

Daughter of slain couple back in UK
PARIS — The younger daughter of a British-Iraqi couple slain while vacationing in the French Alps has returned to Britain, while her badly wounded older sister has come out of an artificial coma, authorities said Sunday.
Four-year-old Zeena and 7-year-old Zaina survived a vicious shooting that killed their parents, Saad and Iqbal al-Hilli, as well as a still-unidentified older woman and a French man who apparently happened to be passing by on his bicycle.

I love the Grateful Dead but i just don't get Phish.
*not that I lump them in the same category but it frequently happens.
I bedded a hippy chick for a bit in college. One thing I couldn't understand was having hairy pits and dreads but keeping it Bigglesworth a little further South. Needless to say, it was pleasantly surprising.
The 90's killed punk rock by making all that whiny, poppy crap popular. The only band mildly in the poppy vein I like from that era is Less Than Jake... ok, I like Lagwagon too--their drummer shreds it. But still Green Day, Blink 182 and all that garbage is complete bunk imo. I always turned on different music watching Steel's videos.
As far as the indie thing, it's still all group-think crap. Hipsters all looking alike to show everyone how different they are... tools.
I'm sure he'll sit here all day/week/month and tell you the rest of the things he "used to" do.
"I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too." - Mitch Hedberg
Personally, I don't trust anyone from Connecticut. We have a suburb, Hampstead, that is pretty much Little Connecticut. Some of the most self-entitled d-bags I've ever come across.
Back when I was a contractor I did a couple additions for two different transplanted Connectikooks--they had to be the shiestiest people I have ever met. I had to threaten to sue both of them to keep them paying me per the contract. All they ever wanted to do was change the rules (contracted terms of payment) trying to get something for nothing all while opining about how "you people operate on a different clock" at the moment of a small hold-up (ie, THEIR engineer not getting documents to the permit department)....
(Yes, it's a complete overgeneralization--I feel a little better now)

Chapter 7:
Financial Management
- Chapter Contents:
- Introduction
- A. Financial Management Organization
- B. Financial Systems
- C. Budget and Planning
- D. Revenue Management
- E. Disbursement Management
The Office of Budgeting and Financial Planning has the primary responsibility for building the annual budgets by coordinating the efforts of everyone involved in the budget process. The annual budget consists of school budgets and the district's administrative budgets. The actual budget process and its relationship to strategic planning is addressed in the District Organization and Management chapter of this report.
Seven budget analysts located in the central office work closely with school personnel to develop the school budgets. An additional budget analyst works with central office departments. The budget analysts follow a step-by-step interview process to confirm that all aspects of the budget process are covered with the school personnel. The analysts then assist the school personnel in allocating their discretionary funds to various functions.
Another primary role of the analyst is to ensure compliance. Funds have regulatory restrictions and guidelines that must be followed and HISD must follow state law or public school district budgeting procedures. The analysts make sure the schools are budgeting at least the minimum amounts in the proper categories. These rules are available in the Budget Development Manuals distributed yearly to all personnel involved in the budgeting process. Despite this publication, schools still rely heavily on the budget analysts to explain and apply the regulations.
HISD's general ledger contains 1.6 million account/cost center combinations. The average number of transactions posted to the general ledger for all cost centers on an annual basis is over two million records. Based on interviews with participants in the budgeting process, the review team found that often it is difficult for school-level personnel to effectively develop their budgets due to the complexity of the accounting code structure and the nature of school finance and fund accounting.
Due to unexpected revenue received by HISD, the district has fund balances higher than recommended by the TEA. The largest one-time unexpected revenues are from the following sources:
- Property Value Study Appeal: $27 million;
- Senate Bill 1 Funding Allocation Change: $28.1 million;
- Over-65 Freeze-Loss Evaluation: $13.5 million.
Fund balances are maintained to accommodate contingencies and unexpected variations in cash flow. According to a TEA article entitled Fund Balances, More Than Idle Cash in Bank, a formula can be applied to a district's balance sheet to determine an optimal level of fund balances. A worksheet is provided that takes the district step-by-step through calculating the optimal fund balance. HISD used this worksheet (Exhibit 7-19) and published the following results.
Exhibit 7-19 HISD Optimum Fund Balance Calculation
($ million) ($ million) 1. Total General Fund Balance as of 8/31/95 1. $ 183.0 2. Reserved Fund Balances - General Fund $ 6.5 A. Inventories - B. Prepaid Items $ 10.5 C. Outstanding Encumbrances $ 6.0 D. School Operations - E. Self-Funded Insurance F. Other Long -Term Receivables Total Reserved Balance (A+B+C+D+E+F) 2. $ 23.0 3. Designated Unreserved Fund Balances - General Fund A. Construction, Repairs, Renovation - B. Claims and Judgments - C. Expected Fiscal 1995 Model 401 Cash Flow - D. Capital Expenditures-Equipment $ 17.4 E. Self Funded-Insurance $ 14.5 **F. Other Designations $ 53.5 Total Designated Unreserved Fund Balance (A+B+C+D+E+F) 3. $ 85.4 Estimated Avg. Monthly Cash Disbursements GF Fiscal 1996 4. $ 72.0 General Fund Optimum Fund Balance (Lines 2+3+4) 5. $ 180.4 Excess Net Undesignated Unreserved Gen. Fund Balance (line 1 - line 5) 6. $ 3.5 Source: HISD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 1995
The district also uses two other funds, the Designated for Operations Fund and the Permanent Fund, whose purposes may be similar to the Undesignated Unreserved Fund. The Designated for Operations Fund was created by the board as a minimum fund balance the district should maintain. In addition to the Designated for Operations Fund, the board created a Permanent Fund that is earnings and excess collected delinquent tax revenues that exceed budgeted revenues. The district uses the Permanent Fund primarily for non-recurring needs. The board can appropriate these designated funds at any time. An example of the type of expenditures from the Permanent Fund is the building of the new Bertha Alyce pre-kindergarten center. No plans have been made for these funds for fiscal 1997. The board also can use the Undesignated Unreserved Fund in the same manner. For fiscal 1995, the Permanent Fund had a budgeted balance of $12,864,000, the Undesignated Unreserved Fund had a balance of $75,504,175, and the Designated for Operations fund had a balance of $40 million. Exhibit 7-20 shows all of the fund balances for fiscal 1995.
Exhibit 7-20 Equity Portion of the Fiscal 1995 Balance Sheet
Equity and Other Credits (Balance millions) Fund Balances: Reserved for Encumbrances $ 10.5 Reserved for Endowments and Projects $ 0.0 Reserved for School Carryover $ 6.0 Reserved for Investment in Inventories $ 6.5 Unreserved Designated: Designated for Arbitrage Rebate $ 0.5 Designated for Athletics $ 0.1 Designated for Authorized Construction $ 0.0 Designated for Capital Acquisition $ 17.4 Designated for Debt Retirement $ 0.0 Designated for Permanent Fund $ 12.9 Designated for Insurance Programs $ 14.5 Designated for Operations $ 40.0 Undesignated Unreserved $ 75.5 TOTAL EQUITY AND CREDITS $183.9 Source: HISD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 1995
The TEA worksheet (Exhibit 7-19) shows that HISD has $3.5 million in excess Undesignated Unreserved funds to be used as a cushion for cash flow variations throughout the year. The $75.5 million balance is reasonable based on the concept of keeping a month's worth of operating costs in reserve. However, since the Permanent Fund and the Designated for Operations Fund can be used in essentially the same manner as the Undesignated Unreserved Fund, all three of them should be grouped together for the optimum fund balance calculation.
When those three funds are grouped together, the calculation shown in Exhibit 7-21 produces an excess fund balance of $56.4 million. District administrators told the review team that they planned to use these excess funds for controlling tax rate expansion, although no supporting documentation for this plan was supplied.

Fund Balance $ 3.5 $ 56.4 Source: HISD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 1995, Team Analysis
Designate excess fund balances to fund prioritized facility expansions and renovations.
The district will be left with a prudent reserve of more than $100 million to handle cash flow fluctuations and unexpected expenses, all without the need to raise taxes.
The Facilities Management chapter of this report recommends prioritization of facility needs and the planned renovation or expansion of facilities according to a planned schedule.
1. The board approves the use of these funds for prioritized projects.
January 1997
Designating the excess funds for facility renovation and expansion can address the critical facility needs of the district without accessing external funding sources.
The budget analysts spend about 40 percent of their workdays approving and performing budget transfers for schools. Schools often put excess budget funds in a general supplies category. Later in the year, when they have specific requirements, transfers are made from the general supplies category to the appropriate spending category.
For example, general supplies are coded as GF1-11-6399 for the fund, function, and object. The GF1 stands for general fund. The 11 is the function code for instructional type expenditures. The 6399 is the object code for general supplies. If the school finds that it needs additional funds to purchase an item for the principal's office, it must transfer funds to code GF1-23-6399. The 23 in this code is the function for school administration expenditures. To affect this transfer, the school must fill out a budget transfer form and send it to the budget analyst who works with their school. The analysts must confirm that the category requested by the school complies with district and government regulations. In this example, a transfer is made from one function to another, so this request also requires board approval, regardless of the amount of the transfer. According to state law, interfunction budget transfers require board approval . Transfers within a function do not need approval.
Exhibit 7-22 shows the number dollar amounts of transfers for the last three years. It is inefficient to request and analysts to perform transfers for small-dollar amounts, yet more than 3,000 transfers per year are for less than $100.
Exhibit 7-22 Number of Funds Transfers by Amount 1993-94 to 1995-96
Amount of Transfer ($) 1993-94 1994-95 1995-961 $0.01 to $10.00 951 1,220 697 $10.01 to $50.00 1,539 1,750 1,403 $50.01 to $100.00 1,703 1,884 1,355 $100.01 to $200.00 2,657 2,709 2,066 $200.01 to $500.00 5,404 4,888 4,002 $500.01 to $1,000.00 3,981 3,675 2,970 over $1,000.00 13,000 8,152 8,526 Total 29,235 24,278 21,019 1 Through May 15, 1996 Source: HISD Department of Budgeting and Planning
If the category requested by the school does not yet exist because it was not originally funded in the approved budget, that category must be setup in the accounting system. These accounts are setup during a batch run on the MSA system that occurs on most, but not all, weekends. The result is a delay in the transfer, and a delay in the school's ability to purchase the supplies or services. School principals cannot submit a purchase order until they have a valid account code. These new codes also must be ratified by the board. The board reviews these budget items quarterly.
A PEER Review study recommended that HISD should allow the roll-up of budget codes as one way of reducing the number and frequency of transfers. For example, codes 6301, 6302, up to 6399 would be budgeted under 6300.
Reduce the number of budget transfers required throughout the year by discontinuing the use of holding or clearing accounts in the budget.
Use allocation formulas to direct funds to categories of historical use. Then as funds are used they can be posted to the correct account without the need for transfers.
Allow schools to make purchases within a functional category if the expenditure object code will differ from the budget object code. The variance between object code budgets and expenditures can then be used to produce more accurate budgets in the future. The variance can also indicate whether the district is moving away from its strategic financial plans as a result of these changes to the budgeted amounts.
1. The assistant superintendent of Budgeting and Planning forms and leads a committee to review current procedures, investigate legal constraints, and draft a proposal for the board. January 1997 2. The district allows the roll-up of budget codes as recommended by the PEER Review committee. January 1997 3. Appropriate district personnel receive inservice training in existing class offerings. Ongoing
This recommendation can be implemented at no cost to the district.
Annual budgets are built based on previous budgets, instead of actual prior-year expenditures. The district starts developing the budget when it is only halfway through the current year, making it impossible to use prior-year actual expenditures as a starting point. This process may be misleading since end-of-year actual expenditures may vary significantly from original budget numbers. Using HISD's reported data for 1994-95 as an example co-curricular activities had actual expenditures 23.71 percent higher than budgeted (See Exhibit 7-23).

General fund variances shown in Exhibit 7-23 reveal 11 out of 18 categories have an actual expenditure varying 8.5 percent or more from the budgeted amount. When general funds and all other funds are considered in Exhibit 7-24, only five of the 18 categories have expenditures varying by 8.5 percent or more. This indicates that revenues from special and other funds are used to remedy variances in spending.

HISD officials have declared their intent to enact certain programs that promote HISD's Declaration of Beliefs and Visions. These priorities are listed in the Recommended 1995-96 School Budget that states:
The 1995-96 adopted budget builds on this decentralization effort and puts more emphasis on the School Board's Declaration of Beliefs and Visions than any previous budget. The additions are completely focused on the needs of the school and decentralization. The allocations are intended to improve the decentralization effort by allocating funds to the district offices for their schools and supporting the relationship between the teacher and the student.
The Recommended 1995-96 School Budget lists the district's priorities, primary, focuses and costs (where identified) as follows:
- Raises and performance pay to most district personnel ($36.6 million);
- Increased staffing allocations ($5.5 million);
- A $20 per student allocation to district offices to address special staffing needs and decentralization ($4 million);
- Improving student achievement using multi-year school improvement plans,
- Plan, develop, and require core curriculum for all students;
- Increase graduation rate and reduce dropout rate;
- Improve quality of staff by attracting, retaining, and training/developing all staff, and ensure that staff at all levels treat each other, students, and parents with sensitivity and respect;
- Increase parental and community involvement by creating partnerships;
- Implement decentralization and shared decision-making by elimination or waiver of unnecessary rules and regulations;
- Increase access to learning for students and employees through technology, increase employee productivity through technology and reduction of paperwork and bureaucracy;
- Improve school climate and facilities by providing clean, safe, and secure facilities ($4.3 million);
- Improve student discipline by providing a discipline management program; and
- Prepare all students with relevant career and life skills.
Other priorities for the district that were not funded are:
- Academic and enrichment programs (second phase);
- Deferred maintenance and repairs;
- Partnerships (after-school child care);
- Safety/Security needs (long-term);
- Facility needs;
- Elementary ancillary and counselor staffing and discretionary funding (increased/weighted formulas) (Phase 2);
- Secondary staffing (increased/weighted formulas) (Phase 2);
- Middle school staffing (by formula);
- Clerical assistance in schools;
- Elementary financial clerks; and
- SASI coordinators.
To see the extent to which these priorities are addressed, a comparison of both budgeted and actual amounts reported to TEA and recorded in PEIMS shows how funds are shifted to meet these goals.
For purposes of this analysis PEIMS data is used because it is the officially reported budget and actual numbers for school districts and because the numbers reported by the district in the HISD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Fiscal 1995 and various other HISD publications do not agree.
For example, The HISD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Fiscal 1995 reports the budgeted amount for facilities acquisition and construction was over $125 million. The HISD 1995-96 School Budget reports this amount as $9.5 million. And PEIMS data shows this amount as $102.1 million. All of these figures include all funds.

HISD officials are quick to note that they regularly come in under budget in almost every category. Yet the practice of overbudgeting by 8 or 9 percent, as shown in Exhibit 7-25, raises questions about HISD's revenue and expenditure projections. Deviations of this amount could translate to lower taxes, the renovation of schools, or the dedication of monies to other educational priorities.
Use the budget as a cost containment tool linked directly to the district's strategic goals.
Comparing actual expenditures to budget numbers gives the district a reality check to ensure that the budget is used as a cost containment tool.
1. The board or a standing committee of the board should oversee budget development and maintenance. Ongoing 2. The Budget and Financial Planning department gathers actual spending data and develops a report to use for the new budget. October 1997 3. The adopted budget is amended using actual data to produce a more reliable budget. November 1997
This recommendation can be implemented at no cost to the district.
The budget department holds formal inservice training twice a year. Attendance is not required. Although attendance lists are kept, no attempt is made to track attendance patterns versus the ability of the schools to develop sound budgets. Personnel are free to call or come to the budget department for help at any time.
Require school principals, financial clerks, and secretaries involved in the budgeting process to attend the budgeting department inservice training that is already offered.
This recommendation will reduce time spent during the year on budget transfers, mis-coded requisitions, and problem resolution. Even though the budget department has produced a high quality, comprehensive budget process manual for use by the entire district, direct instruction is needed for complete understanding of the process.
1. The superintendent should establish a policy requiring inservice training attendance for principals and financial clerks. January 1997 2. Principals and financial clerks attend existing budgeting inservices. Ongoing
This recommendation should improve the financial management efforts at no additional cost to the district since inservice training is are already offered.
School-level budgets are prepared manually. Each school receives a package by mail containing three spreadsheets. The spreadsheets represent the General Fund (GF1), the Capital Projects Fund (GF4), and the Special Projects Fund (SR1). The Budget Department develops the spreadsheets based on allocation formulas and shows minimum amounts that must be maintained in certain categories. An additional sheet displays funds that are available for schools to allocate within given constraints.
The Budget Department is testing a new budgeting software system for the network. The financial systems RFP also specifies budgeting functions. The Budget Department is just beginning to share spreadsheets electronically with the schools, rather than relying on campus mail and direct meetings to complete the budgets.
Create a single on-line budget development system.
Coordinating this project is necessary because it is likely that the new financial system will have a budget development module that allows remote access. Therefore, work underway on an automated budgeting system may be obsolete within a year.
1. The Budget and Financial Planning department reviews the appropriate functions of the new financial system. January 1997 2. The Budget and Financial Planning department coordinates with the Accounting department to decide whether to develop an on-line budgeting system or wait for the new financial system to come on-line. January 1997
There is no fiscal impact from this recommendation.
Final amendments to the school budgets are completed in early November. Although the fiscal year runs from September 1 through August 31, the school-level budgets are not stable until the enrollment figures are final. After the final enrollment numbers are recorded in late October, budget analysts meet with the school personnel to confirm the actual budget amounts for that year.
Difficulty arises when attempting to reconcile budget figures with previous budget publications and the other financial statements such as HISD's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Due to the timing of publications throughout the year, the timing of receipts and expenditures, the overlap of fiscal year with the school year and special project fiscal years, and the terminology used to describe budget numbers, the numbers stated as the budgeted amount for a given year will vary from publication to publication. Exhibit 7-26 illustrates this.
Exhibit 7-26 1994-95 General Fund Budget Amounts in Three Different District Publications
Source: 1. HISD Adopted 1995-96 School Budget for Fiscal Year September 1, 1995 - August 31, 1996, page 26; 2. HISD Recommended 1994-95 School Budget for Fiscal Year September 1, 1994 - August 31, 1995, page 37; 3. HISD Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For the Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 1995, page 28
Expenditure Functions (General Funds) (Million) 1994-95 Adopted Budget1 1994-95 Recommended Budget2 Annual Financial Report3 Instruction $ 508.00 $505.61 $512.35 Instructional Administration $ 13.69 $ 13.69 $ 14.62 Instructional Resources and Media Services $ 14.35 $ 14.35 $ 17.22 School Administration $ 60.11 $ 60.11 $ 62.36 Curriculum and Personnel Development $ 9.00 $ 9.00 $ 9.17 Communication and Dissemination $ 2.87 $ 2.87 $ 3.17 Guidance and Counseling $ 26.69 $ 26.69 $ 27.78 Attendance and Social Work Services $ 1.47 $ 1.47 $ 2.10 Health Services $ 12.68 $ 12.68 $ 11.92 Pupil Transportation $ 25.14 $ 25.14 $ 40.22 Co-Curricular Activities $ 5.78 $ 5.78 $ 8.07 Food Service $ 0.38 $ 0.38 $ 0.63 General Administration $ 23.67 $ 23.67 $ 24.93 Debt Service $ 6.23 $ 6.23 $ 1.24 Plant Maintenance and Operations $109.34 $109.34 $122.47 Facilities Acquisition and Construction $ 0.10 $ 0.10 $ 0.18 Data Processing Services $ 11.37 $ 11.37 $ 21.65 Community Services $ 0.96 $ 0.96 $ 1.00 Total $831.75 $829.35 $881.11
Exhibit 7-26 above shows that most functional categories are consistent between the two budget publications, but there is considerable difference when compared to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
When district publications use the terms "recommended budget," "adopted budget," and "budget," they should be clear about the date and progress in the budgeting process that the figures represent.
The district should be clear about the publication dates associated with the various versions of the budget.
1. The Budget and Financial Planning department defines the dates on which financial data will be official and clearly notes these dates when any relevant financial data, such as the budget or the annual financial report, is published. Immediately
There is no fiscal impact from this recommendation.

Journalists reportedly banned from Instagramming 2014 Winter Olympics
Authorities for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are reportedly drawing a line in the sand between professional photographers and casual Instagrammers. According to Russian news outlets, journalists who use their phones, tablets, or pocket cameras to capture the Winter Games will be summarily stripped of their credentials and lose their professional accreditation.
Vasily Konov, head of Russia's state-run R-Sport news agency, reportedly delivered the stringent decision on Friday in a training seminar for print journalists preparing for the Games, which are set to begin on February 7th. According to Svoboda.org, while normal spectators are permitted to photograph the Olympics on their phones to their hearts' content, journalists…

Unlocking new phones now banned under DMCA, the EFF weighs in
It was wonderful while it lasted, but the days of individuals lawfully opening their very own phones is over. Back in October of last year, the Collection of Congress included an exemption to the DMCA to enable individuals to release their new phones for 90 days. That 3 month window has actually now closed. Obviously, providers are stillfree of cost to offer opened smartphones themselves, and some will likewise unlock them for you as long as particular conditions are fulfilled. "Tradition" or utilized smartphones bought before today could still be opened without any finger-wagging from federal courts. So, what does this mean exactly? Well, Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Mitch Stoltz told us, "What's taking place is not that the Copyright Workplace is stating unlocking to be unlawful, but rather that they're removing a cover that unlockers might utilize in court if they get taken legal action against." This does make suits a lot more most likely according to him, but it's still up to the courts to choose the actual legality of phone unlocking. Indeed, it's a grim day for those who desire true flexibility over their own gadgets. Stoltz stated to us, "This shows just how absurd the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is: a law that was expected to stop the breaking of digital locks on copyrighted materials has actually led to the Librarian of Congress attempting to manage the utilized mobile phone market.

Some Samsung Galaxy Products Banned From Sale In The Netherlands As Court Sides With Apple
A Dutch court ruled today (via IDG) that Samsung Galaxy products running Android 2.2.1 and higher, which don ' t use Samsung ' s very own exclusive image gallery software are prohibited from sale, for borrowing on an Apple patent connected to scrolling through images on a touchscreen device. The ruling from The Court of The Hague states that Samsung needs to state its profits from Galaxy gadget sales given that June 27, 2011 to identify a penalty, and that Samsung threats incurring a $ 129,000 cost per day every day it fails to promote the ban from this ruling on.
The decision comes after a preparatory ruling dealing with the same patent resulted in a sales ban on the Galaxy S, SII and Galaxy Ace last year, which propelled a software workaround carried out by Samsung to obtain the products back on the marketplace. Samsung claimed at the hearing that given that Samsung Benelux, the business ' s Netherlands-based subsidiary, was not selling the infringing devices. Presiding judge Peter Blok informed the court that was not enough to prevent a sales ban, and that Samsung ' s disapproval to sign a declaration of its intention not to infringe the patent was premises enough to bar device sales in the nation.
Apple ' s patent things especially with a ' bounce back ' animation impact that permits you to preview the following image in a series, but goes back to the existing image when you raise your finger if you sanctuary ' t swiped all the method in one direction. Samsung ' s workaround was to replace it with a blue radiance highlighting the edge of the image, rather than using the bounce-back.
Apple might be in for an additional significant payday right here, depending on the amount of of Samsung ' s profits the court believes Apple is entitled to as an outcome of sales of infringing devices and barring any sort of appeal attempts. However the ban itself appears extremely unlikely to have much force; Samsung can implement the workaround explained above on any sort of devices that still utilize Android ' s native Gallery app to avoid the block on any future sales. In reality, Samsung argued in September that it already does this in all items sold in the Netherlands, but judges didn ' t believe the Korean business provided enough proof to make its case.

Adding, Dropping, Swapping and Withdrawing through Late Registration Adding Courses after Late Registration but before Census Procedure for Dropping or Withdrawing after Census through the Last Drop DateDropping or Withdrawing after the Last Day to DropDropping After Last Drop Date
Undergraduate students may add courses, swap courses, drop courses and withdraw from all courses prior to the first class day. In all of these cases, no charges will be incurred and no transactions will be recorded on the student's transcript.
From the first day of classes through the late registration period (also called add/drop), students can add, drop and swap classes through self-service.
However, to drop his or her LAST class, the student must see his/her undergraduate advisor in his/her major department. (This procedure remains in place through the last drop date. For additional information, see the section "Procedure for Dropping or Withdrawing through the Last Drop Date" below.)
Check the Academic Calendar for specific term dates.
For a list of all advising offices, http://www.uta.edu/universitycollege/resources/advising.php
Back to top
Adding classes after late registration is not recommended.
The student MUST meet with their undergraduate academic advisor to understand the impact of their enrollment action, as well as the specific procedures required to add a class after the late registration period ends. Adding after late registration requires the permission of the faculty teaching the course, permission of the academic department offering the course and the final approval of the undergraduate academic advisor of the student's major department. The student's major academic advisor has final decision authority and may supersede the decision of the instructor.
Adds are NOT permitted after Census.
After late registration through the last date to drop, students must meet with an undergraduate academic advisor to drop a class or fully withdraw from classes. Students should contact the academic advising area of their major department for specific procedures and forms needed for withdrawing or dropping after the Census date. In some cases, the signature of the faculty teaching the course(s) will be required. The student's academic advisor will process the drop or withdrawal transaction.
From the first official day of class through the last day to drop, the student cannot drop his or her last class. This must be done by the student's major advisor. As a result, the deadline for drops is 5:00 pm on the last drop date. Therefore the written drop requests must be received by the major advisor by 4:00 PM CT or your request may not be reviewed or processed by the deadline.
Dropping a course after the Last Drop Date requires the academic dean's permission. Students seeking this permission should complete the "Undergraduate Withdrawal and Drop Policy Exception Form" available in the advising office of their major department.

My name is Jesse Feldman and I"m a freshman here at Ithaca College. I'm majoring in Television-Radio with a media production concentration. I also plan to minor in Sports Media.
My goal is to either go into the field of production or be an on air talent. Since I am really interested in sports, I would hope that any career that I have would be in the field of sports. When I started college this year, I wasn't really sure what direction I wanted to go within my major. Now that I have just about finished my first semester I'm convinced that this is the field that I want to go in.
I have learned that the world of communications is constantly changing. To stay in the business we have to keep with with all of the new technologies and make sure that we are up to date with everything that is going on in the world today. I have also learned that the industry is very competitive and I need all the work experience I can get before I graduate to succeed. Thus I need internships.
This year, I have worked on a number of extra-curricular projects within the Park School. I have been involved with sports radio and I have a weekly sportscast. I have also done color commentating for a football game vs Alfred earlier in the year. For the school television station, I am an Assistant Producer for the weekly show Sports Final and Big Red Faceoff. I have also done camerawork for some high school football games, Cornell Hockey games and Ithaca basketball games.
Right now I'm confident that Ithaca College has and will give me all of the knowledge and experience that I need to be successful in this industry.
