The problem of women's education in India is one which attracts our attention immediately. In our country, due to conservative traditionalism, women's status has, through ages, been considered to be lower than that of men. During the later part of the Vedic period the Aryans had sealed the fate of women culturally and socially by denying them the right to study Vedas and thus half of the population was deprived of one of the most fundamental human rights. They were regarded as the bond slave to men for their economic dependence on them. Even today, in spite of the recognition of women's status equal to that of men, the majority of them suffer in primitive ignorance as ever before. Illiteracy and ignorance is prevalent more in women folk than in men folk and this evil is rampant specially in rural areas and backward communities. Many parents think educating their sons is an asset to the family whereas educating their daughter is a waste of money because she eventually will get married and will with her husband they won't get any monetary benefit from her directly. Another belief of rural parents is if the daughter studies too much she would have higher demand and would want an educated better half which would mean greater expenses in her marriage. Very often if the parent is willing to educate their daughter the accessibility to a school becomes a problem and sending the girl away to a town alone is considered unsafe, many a times if the school is located in the village its infrastructure, the student teacher ratio, no toilets for girls, inaccessibility to textbooks are the issues which come up.

It works to offload IPv4 traffic to IPv6 to reduce load on border relays and backbones. Protocols without port numbers do not work under MAP-E, but workarounds exist for some cases like IPSec and FTP. Address sharing under MAP-E can cause issues for some old games and
The document describes using fuzzy logic to control a container crane. Conventional PID control was unsuccessful due to the non-linear nature of the control task.

It then develops inference rules relating these variables and uses fuzzification, inference, and defuzzification to generate motor power control signals. The fuzzy logic approach provides an effective yet transparent solution compared to conventional non-linear modeling and control techniques.

Central High School in St. Paul, Minnesota has served the local community since 1866. It struggled to find a permanent space in its early years but now enrolls over 2,200 diverse students. The school offers various academic programs, over 70 student clubs, and support services like College Possible to help low-income students apply to college. While test scores need improvement, Central provides many opportunities for students to succeed and has strong community involvement through initiatives like its Parent Advisory Council.
The Schuler Scholar Program prepares under-resourced, high-potential students to succeed at competitive colleges. It provides academic support, mentoring, and financial assistance to first-generation students. In 2010, 63% of Schuler graduates attended Ivy League or top liberal arts colleges, receiving over $1.8 million in scholarships. The program also recruits recent college graduates as mentors and tutors through AmeriCorps to support students. Davidson College's STRIDE program additionally provides academic preparation, peer mentoring, and social and cultural support for minority students. The Center for Student Opportunity empowers low-income, first-generation students through college guidance, scholarships, and an Opportunity Scholars blog.
Breakthrough Silicon Valley is a nonprofit that helps underserved students in San Jose develop skills to attend selective four-year colleges. Through a six-year program of academic courses, college counseling and life skills coaching, students gain acceptance and success in college and beyond. The program employs high school and college interns to teach and inspire younger students. Participation in Breakthrough is critical for students, most of whom will be first in their family to attend college, to break the cycle of poverty through higher education.
This document summarizes strategies that colleges use to help first-generation students successfully transition to college. It discusses reaching out to students and families about financial aid to alleviate "sticker shock."

The school board president provides an update on the strong state of the University Place School District. Superintendent Patti Banks is retiring after many years of service. The board undertook a thorough process to select a new superintendent, seeking community input. They ultimately hired Deputy Superintendent Jeff Chamberlin who was seen as continuing the legacy of excellence in the district.
The document discusses the "At Promise" program, which was created to help struggling students succeed. It has expanded over the years and now supports students at multiple grade levels. The first graduates of the program are being produced, including a student who credits the program for his academic and athletic success.
The document discusses Harding University's Upward Bound program which helps prepare low-income and first generation students for success in college; three students who graduated from the program enrolled at Harding University in the fall of 2007 and credited the program for their college preparation and decision to attend college. The program provides academic support and college exposure to 55 high school students from 7 schools to help them pursue higher education.
The student parliament at Georgetown District High School has been very active this year, organizing many events for the school. Led by Prime Minister Liz Colter and supervised by Mr. Estevan, the student parliament has over 20 members, the most in the last 5 years. Some of the events organized by the student parliament include the semi-formal dance, Halloween dance, and Christmas events. The student parliament has also raised money for charities. Elections for the next year's Prime Minister are coming up soon. The student parliament has been working hard and has contributed to a great school year.
The study aimed to understand the problems facing out-of-school youth in Matnog, Sorsogon. It involved surveying 30 out-of-school youth using a questionnaire. The findings showed that 18 respondents attained secondary education, 6 were employed, and 4 attained tertiary education. The highest cost of education was reported as the major factor for respondents dropping out of school, followed by lack of regular transportation. Most respondents expressed willingness to continue their studies through the Department of Education's Alternative Learning System program. The study provides insight into how to help address the needs of out-of-school youth through education programs.
The article discusses the importance of taking advantage of opportunities to reflect and improve at the start of a new year or semester. While the new year is not traditionally a time for reflection for those in education, the president argues it should be seen as such. Schools that have implemented semester breaks find it provides a "second chance" for teachers and students. The opportunity to reflect and make changes can boost morale and motivation. Even without a formal break, educators should seize the chance to consider goals and resets at the start of a new term.
Student Success Academy (SSA) is a public charter school that offers both in-person and online learning programs. SSA struggles with accountability issues regarding parental involvement in students' online learning. Specifically, many parents complete lessons and assessments for their children without proper supervision. This allows progress to be inaccurately reported and leads to discrepancies between students' online performance and in-person assessments. SSA has implemented some accountability measures, like required passwords for parents, but these have proven ineffective as parents often simply provide their passwords to students. The lack of genuine parental involvement and accountability threatens students' learning and the accuracy of progress reports.
The document discusses a pilot program called Strive for College at Boise State University that aims to increase college enrollment and graduation rates in Idaho. Through the program, 20 Boise State students mentor high school students from underserved areas to help them navigate the college application process. In the first semester, Boise State students mentored 31 high school students from Emmett and Homedale through in-person and virtual meetings. The program hopes to expand statewide to provide more students access to resources to pursue higher education.
The document discusses University School of Milwaukee's commitment to the arts across all grade levels. It begins with an overview of how the arts are foundational in developing students' creativity, expression, and skills. In the lower school, formal music instruction begins in pre-K and continues through 4th grade. Students also take dance classes and have art instruction. The arts curriculum helps students build skills, confidence, and independence. Live performances and docent projects at local museums further enrich students' artistic learning and development.

us it is not intelligence that gets you ahead
in this life - it is hard work!” Warren also rec-
ognized the role of parents in education. Hav-

shared that they all cited “the encouragement
their parents have provided over the courses
of their lives” as a major influencing factor in
their academic success.
The class now heads to colleges and uni-
versities across the country. Some will enter
the workforce, others are pursuing military
careers.

2015 GRADUATION CEREMONY
Contiuned from page 1
Presiding over his first graduation cere-
mony as principal, Josue Lowe encouraged
graduates to use their compulsory education
experience as a “springboard” for the rest of
their lives and to consider it one of three legs
that support their futures. He finished his
comments by saying, “if you, as the graduat-
ing class of 2015, are able to look back upon
your 13 years and say you left here with an
open heart, that is the most important mea-
suring stick of all.”
While many high schools conduct their
commencement ceremonies under strict
rules of pomp and circumstance, Centralia
allows graduating classes to put their own
stamp on graduation. The class of 2015 re-
leased balloons in honor of a lost classmate,
and selected their own music to close the
event. And, of course, a large volume of sil-
ly string was expended. A complete list of
graduates is available at centraliaschools.org
3. CSD THANKS RETIRING

ing staff members and thanked them for their
service to the District, community, and to pub-
lic education in a ceremony held on May 20th.
“The group of retirees this year has given
285 years of service to public education,” said

First Knights of
futurus high
The Futurus High School Class of 2015
stormed the stage during their graduation
on June 11. The group of fourteen students
are the first graduating class of FHS, which
was formerly known as Centralia Alterna-
tive Programs and Services (C.A.P.S.) and op-
erated as part of Centralia High School until
this school year.
During his commencement speech, Princi-
pal James Bowers noted the significance of
the event. “This is the first time a high school
diploma in the district will read something
other than Centralia High School,” he said.
“This is the first opportunity for this com-
munity to share in the start of a new tradi-
tion.”
Bowers also had advice for the graduates.
“Believe in yourself,” he told them. “Find
your passion, take control of your life as time
is limited, and you should not live someone
else’s dream, but instead live your own” he
added. He also left them with some final
words of wisdom, “be generous and give.
Your time and your love are both needed in
your community.”
Futurus offers an alternative path to grad-
uation for students who, for a wide variety
of reasons, are not able to find success in
a traditional high school environment. The
school helps students overcome barriers to
graduation. To some extent, the school al-
lows students to work at their own pace.
Head Teacher, Faye Olasen, noted sever-
al examples of how this freedom benefits
students like Jacob Frakes, who completed
more than ten credits in one year because
he was “determined to graduate this year.”
Olasen also highlighted Emma Brown, who
graduated a full year ahead of schedule. “We
are very proud of you all,” she told the class.
“These graduates have made it all around,
over, and through brick walls,” Olasen said.
“They’ve done some pretty amazing things.
Several of these students have, from time to
time, lived on their own, and held jobs while
attending school.”
The former C.A.P.S. program moved into
a new building that once housed Centralia
Parks and Recreation at the beginning of
the school year. This new location allows for
future growth of the school, and brings Fu-
turus students more into the District’s fold
than the old location inside Yard Birds Mall.
The school has three full-time teachers, a
principal, a paraeducator, and a shared spe-
cial education teacher.
CSD UNVEILS ONLINE STUDENT REGISTRATION
Parents may now enroll students online
Parents seeking to enroll new students in the Centralia School District may now do so
online from the comfort of their own homes. The District has unveiled a new online regis-
tration process at www.CentraliaSchools.org. Parents can enter all necessary registration
information and then either scan required documents and send them as attachments, or
bring the documents to their child’s new school during business hours.
Parents are reminded that elementary school offices are closed in July and for most of
August. The District Office remains open on its regular schedule through the summer.

FAREWELLS AND NEW BEGINNINGS FOR CSD
Message from Interim Superintendent Steve Warren
want to get to know Mr. Davalos upon his ar-
rival, and I know that he wants to reach out to
as many of you as possible and as quickly as
possible. At the same time, he will be learn-
ing the culture of a new district, a new state,
and trying to get to know his school board.
As he begins building relationships and
learning a new system, he is also developing
his transition plan in an effort to accomplish
all the above.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank
the Centralia School Board and staff for one
of the most unique opportunities any admin-
istrator could have. Now, as we all turn our
attention toward the future, serving students
and the community of Centralia, let us never
forget that all of us, parents, students, com-
munity leaders, and teachers play a hand in
the success of our district. Here’s to the fu-
ture!
NEW PRINCIPALS FOR 2015-16 SCHOOL YEAR
Heidi Bunker at CMS, Andy Justice at Edison, and Heidi Jenkins at Oakview
Three new principals will greet students
when they return in September.
Andy Justice has been named the new prin-
cipal at Edison Elementary School. He has
taught sixth grade at Oakview since 2010, and
served as an administrative intern during the
past school year.
At Centralia Middle School, Heidi Bunker
will assume leadership beginning with the
new year. She has been the principal of Yelm
Middle School for the past four years and was
previously principal at Pioneer Intermediate/
Middle School near Shelton. Heidi and her
family live in Chehalis and they are well
known in the community as fervent support-
ers of youth sports. She stated to CMS staff
that she “loves working with kids [at the mid-
dle school age]” and that she is ready to hit
the ground running in August.
With the recently announced retirement of
Jay Sparks, Oakview will also have a new face
at the helm next year. Heidi Jenkins will take
that leadership spot for the new school year.
Her official confirmation is awaiting board
approval during their regular meeting on July
15.
