Addicted to Reform: A 12-STEP PROGRAM TO RESCUE PUBLIC EDUCATION by John MerrowMilena Smolinskaya
There is a need for a radical reform of a system that has become
obsessed with data and metrics, with graduation and dropout rates that
can be easily manipulated, and with schools that would rather their
students be obedient and easily controlled, regurgitating the facts they
have been fed, than to have their creativity and intellectual curiosity
unleashed. Standardized testing encourages teachers to teach to the
test rather than engage young minds, particularly when those test
results will be used to evaluate those teachers.
The document discusses improving indoor air quality (IAQ) practices in schools. It notes that poor IAQ can negatively impact student health and attendance. Currently, many schools do not adequately monitor or improve IAQ. The document calls for a shift from merely acceptable IAQ to truly healthy indoor environments in schools. It also summarizes research showing improved student health and reduced absences with IAQ interventions like increased filtration and cleaning.
Education for Sustainable developmmentVENIE PESITO
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aims to use education as a tool to achieve sustainability. ESD seeks to provide people with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives needed for sustainable living. While education increases awareness of sustainability, simply increasing basic literacy is not enough - curriculums must be reoriented to address sustainable production and consumption. Implementing ESD requires participation across communities to develop programs that are locally relevant while addressing global sustainability challenges. Education is key to building capacity for informed decision-making and quality of life improvements towards a sustainable future.
Mentoring involves a developmental partnership where one person shares their knowledge, skills, and perspective to promote the personal and professional growth of another. Effective mentoring programs provide training and guidance to both mentors and mentees, and aim to formally match participants in a way that considers their skills, attributes, and how they can support one another's learning and development. Proper monitoring of a mentoring relationship helps ensure the goals and objectives are being met.
The document provides an overview of New York State regulations and guidelines for K-12 school facilities planning, construction, and operations.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. What are the stake holders thinking?
Are high performance green schools compatible with
emerging trends and school district priorities?
“Schools are expensive and last
a long time. When we build new
schools or modernize new ones,
it is important to consider how
we think about and deliver public
education. Although no one can
predict the future, we have an
obligation to identify evolving
attitudes and practices and to try
our best to understand how they
might effect the physical settings
we use for learning.”
Kenneth R. Stevenson, Ed.D, retired
3. Why Does Maintenance Matter?
• Better student performance
• Increased average daily attendance
• Increased teacher satisfaction and retention
• Reduced operating costs
“I have noticed a big difference in my health since we’ve been
in the new school. I had a lot of absenteeism – in fact I was
hospitalized in the old building. In the new school, I won’t
say I’m cured of asthma – I still have it and I still have
allergies – but I really don’t have many problems at all and
I’m feeling great.”

4. Why Does Maintenance Matter?
• Reduced liability exposure
• A positive influence on the environment
• Increased opportunities for using the facility as a
teaching tool
• Compliance with USGBC Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) or Collaborative for
High Performance Schools (CHPS) performance
mandates

5. Industry Facts
Studies Show Health Advantages of
Green School Facilities
New Ventilation systems found to reduce asthma
symptom reporting among students ²- Well designed ventilation
with effective distribution can reduce respiratory illness by 9 to 20%
Improving air quality can reduce absenteeism ³ Air quality
can be scientifically analyzed and absenteeism statistics are required to be kept.
The two have been correlated repeatedly.
Daylighting Improvements Lead to …
Improved Test Scores 7% - 18%
Outperforming Peers 5% - 14%
Reduced Absenteeism

6. Industry Facts
Key Findings of McGraw Hill Research
• Green Building is Entrenched in K-12 and Higher Education
Construction. It is not a trend, it is a movement. Entire states
are now requiring schools to be built green and / or LEED
certified. Existing schools are getting more attention.
• Operational Cost Savings is the Key Motivational Area
– Strongest trigger – rising energy costs
– Strongest barrier – perceived increased first cost though
studies refute this assumption.
This impasse can only be resolved through
educating the stake holders
• Environmental and Health Concerns
Also Important:
- Increasing Energy Conservation
- Enhancing Student / Staff Well-being

8. Why Build High Performance
Green Schools ?
• 80% of students who drop out of K12 programs have passing
grades; they simply don’t want to be in school.
• In the US a K12 student drops out of school every 11 seconds.
By the time this 60 minute presentation is over 327 students
will have left school.
• 45% of math teachers stay in K12 public schools less than
three years. 60% are gone within five years.
• By the time a student entering Kindergarten graduates from
college 25% of the jobs that exist today will be gone. Half the
jobs that will replace those gone will be in the green economy.

12. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Statistics
• People spend 90% time indoors,
including schools
• Indoor pollutant levels can be 2 to
5 times greater than outdoors
• Infants, children and elderly are
most vulnerable
• According to the American Lung
Association14 million asthma
school days missed per year
• The EPA has established direct
links between interior air quality in
schools and attendance and
student performance
• The American Medical Association
and the American Council of

16. How much more do we need to know?
It‟s serious business….
17. School lunches are not usually considered a maintenance issue. However,
anything that weakens a child‟s immune system makes them more
susceptible to other physical insults.
The waste stream from a school cafeteria, however, and a school

creating extremely effective learning opportunities.
18. The danger is that poor IAQ causes symptoms are often mis-diagnosed as
bacteriologically induced or virilogically induced illness. That is, they appear flu-
like. The fact is, poor interior air quality is directly responsible for a wide variety of
illnesses in our children, including asthma, hyperactivity and ADHD.
Dr. Roy E. Kerry, MD, AAOA
So, let’s do the math…… Poor maintenance = Poor IAQ
Poor IAQ = Sick Children
Sick Children = Poor Test Scores
Therefore, Poor Maintenance = Poor Test sores

York to Members of the Legislature
January 5, 2011
“ Current Education funding is largely formula
based grants with no performance incentives. The
Federal Government’s recent move to performance
based grants, including the Race to the Top Program,
has resulted in reform. Therefore, I am proposing two
competitive funds to incentivize management
improvements.
First, I will propose a $250 million School Governor Cuomo issues a
performance fund for Districts that proportionately challenge:
increase performance in the classroom. (e.g. improving
grades of historically underperforming children). How do we do this?
Who Qualifies?
The second will be a $250 million administrative

Pure naiveté or the way forward? win/win/win/win/win?
24. What do we need to do? Rethink the problem…
First Things First:
• Stop the Bleeding. Take a district wide, open minded
approach to dealing with operating cost and
maintenance issues. No one has a monopoly on
good ideas.
• You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
• Do whatever possible to transition to life cycle costing
versus first cost only thinking.
• Deal with the politics of budget feudalism in the most
direct way possible.
• Do not under estimate the potential of empowering
students as part of a solution. Case studies
abound where student programs have saved School
Districts significant amounts of money while
enriching the educational delivery process.

43. Facilities that teach…..
Living Roofs…Yikes!!
Radical, eco-fringe, crazy
green whacko idea?
Maintenance nightmare?
Consider this:
• The three things that destroy conventional roofs are ultraviolet
degradation, thermal shock and mechanical abrasion. Living
roofs eliminate all three.
• Living roofs enable the down sizing of civil infrastructure and
mechanical equipment. The energy benefits are well documented.
• Living roofs may extend the need to re-roof from fifteen years to thirty
years or more. What could you do with the funds budgeted for re-
roofing and the money saved via energy conservation?
• Chicago has over 200 living roof initiatives. They are not high risk.
• Living roofs are one of the most interesting features to K12 students,
especially when combined with rainwater harvesting.

children and adults
• Lawn maintenance equipment is
• expensive to operate, insure

“The school district has saved about $4 million since 2008 on its utility bills through
a program that aims to change behaviors of schools rather that investing money in
capital improvements such as new lights and air conditioners.”
“A big part of the savings has come from getting school principals more involved
by showing them their school‟s utility bills and how electricity is being used at their
school, Sanchez said. “They don‟t pay those bills, so they might not think about
that.”
“Sanchez said he also has made it in the best interest of principals to save energy.
Starting this year under a new incentive program, schools that save at least 5% on
their power bills over the previous year will get back 15% of those savings to use
for programs at their school. The most efficient schools will receive grants.”
“ Current Education funding is largely formula based grants with no
performance incentives. The Federal Government’s recent move to performance
based grants, including the Race to the Top Program, has resulted in reform.
Therefore, I am proposing two competitive funds to incentivize management
