Eli Broad Awards Mayor $500,000 For College Scholarships: Mayor Bloomberg That Is (You Don't Think Villar Deserves A Penny, Do You? Neither Does Eli)
HEY ANTONIO LOSEROSA...I'm sure Bloomberg and his City wasn't awarded the money by breaking the law, spending millions for an unconstitutional Assembly Bill, waste another year defending it in court...only to get bitch slapped to the curb -- ONCE AGAIN. HEY MIKE BLOOMBERG...Antonio may be busy mentoring that graffiti tagger...but maybe you can mentor Antonio. He needs it. He doesn't know how to behave as an elected offical sworn to uphold the US Constitution. HEY TONY...When's your birthday? I'll get you "Fun With Phonics", you can learn how to read, then you can read the City Charter, State and Federal Constitution. That way, you won't break the law everytime you have a dumb, illegal idea. YOU F*CKING LOSER!
Mayor Bloomberg Accepts Broad Prize for Urban Education Recognizing New York City as Nation's Most Improved Urban School District
$500,000 to Be Awarded to New York City for College Scholarships
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today accepted the Broad Prize for Urban Education recognizing New York City as the nation’s most improved urban school district. The annual prize, the largest and most prestigious education award in the country, is given to the district that has demonstrated the greatest progress in raising academic performance for all students while also reducing the achievement gap between ethnic groups and high and low-income students. The Mayor was joined in Washington, D.C. by Deputy Mayor for Education and Community Development Dennis Walcott and New York City Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein. This is the third consecutive year that New York City has been a finalist for the Broad Prize.

“I thank the Broad Foundation for their vote of confidence in the New York City public school system. While we have made significant progress, much work remains to be done,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “Today’s result demonstrates that New York City’s school reforms are raising achievement among our students, particularly minority students, to levels that weren’t considered possible just a few years ago, and this award recognizes the hard work of the teachers, students and parents and acknowledges that we are heading in the right direction.”
“I thank the Broad Foundation and congratulate the people whose hard work made this happen: the principals, teachers, students, and parents in our 1,400-plus public schools,” said Chancellor Klein. “They all deserve credit for the fact that more students than ever in New York City are proficient in reading and math, and are graduating high school in record numbers.”
Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein congratulated the four other finalists: Bridgeport Public Schools, the Long Beach Unified Public School District, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio. Since 2002, when the State Legislature gave Mayor Bloomberg control of the school system, the Children First reforms instituted by the Mayor and Chancellor have redirected hundreds of millions of dollars from the bureaucracy into classrooms and given principals more authority to made decisions for their school while holding them accountable for raising student achievement.
Criteria for awarding the Broad Prize are grounded in research-based school and district practices found to be effective in three areas: teaching and learning, district leadership and operations and support systems. This year, 100 of the nation’s largest urban school districts were eligible for the Broad Prize, and the five finalists were selected based on an extensive review of data by MPR Associates, Inc., a national education research consulting firm. A review board of 14 prominent educational leaders evaluated the data and selected the finalists. The board found New York City stood out on several fronts.
In 2006, New York City outperformed other districts in New York State serving students with similar income levels in reading and math at all grade levels.
New York City is closing achievement gaps for Hispanic and African-American students. Gains made by Hispanic students outpaced their white counterparts in reading and math. Gains by African-American students outpaced their white counterparts in math.
Between 2003 and 2006, participation rates for Hispanic and African-American students taking the SAT exam have gone up.
Earlier this year, teams of educational researchers and practitioners visited the finalist districts to interview administrators, union representatives, community leaders and parents. They also conducted focus groups with teachers and principals, and observed classrooms. A selection jury of nine prominent leaders from the fields of business, industry, education, and public service then reviewed site visit reports and performance data to select the winning school district.
The $1 million prize is divided among the five finalists with New York City set to receive $500,000 in scholarships for graduating seniors. The Department of Education will notify students of the availability of the scholarships and encourage them to apply. Scholarships of $10,000 will be distributed to students applying to four-year colleges, and $2,500 awards will be granted to students applying to two-year schools. Administration of the scholarships is handled by the Educational Testing Service. The other four district finalists will each receive $125,000 in scholarships.

Man,
Alarcon must mot even think Villaraloser has a chance at this point.
Casey Kasem Voice: Richard... Here's Steve Winwood"...While You See A Chance (Take It).
"LORD BROAD" not too happy about Villar these days.
Don't be a sucker:
When the other shoe drops, it'll be Broad giving the award to AV.
IF AV does what he's told.
11:48pm,
Dude, broad ain't too happy with antonio. plus, who says that constant constituion violator will be able to do what uncle eli tells him to do?
But here's a question that I am wondering: Everyone is excited because the Fed cut the rate more than exepected, and the stock market went up.
Are these people short-sighted suckers. ZD is a statistician, more than economist (although I nailed the sub-prime thing three months before it happened, and yesterday's budget story...but those were just two lucky guesses.
But to me, it seems like this move will de-value the U.S. peso and trigger inflation, that will lead to inflation.
Again, not that I just got off the phone with Greenspan, or anything...but are there any experts that can weigh in on my hypothesis.
UPCOMING ZD POSTS:
Expect a 15% increase in DWP rates over the next year (four months minimum...one year "abundance of caution" time-table). You see, Lake Mead/Colorado is turning into a dust bowl (not quite, but dropping below the minimum level the Feds are comfortable with).
So look for the increase to help force conservation, before the Feds shut the spicket off.
City Council knows we are encountering drought conditions...but continue to approve more and more high density housing tract maps FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
Or maybe they are going to raise the rates because adding FLOURIDE to the water supply isn't free, you know. They don't just GIVE AWAY the flouride DWP will be trying to get away with adding to the water.
Good for the teeth...bad for the brain!
Hey crest...leave the water out of the toothpaste, and dwp leave the flouride out of the water.
Funniest thing: CM who's approving the most, biggest and baddest big bad developments anywhere, is Dennis Zine, or should I say Denise Zine. who has approved two of the biggest and baddest developments in the past two years: a 2,500 condo development
AND Westfield Mall/
AND wamted tp "set a good example" by planting energy inefficient plants and a lawn, because that's what a CM who talks about conserving water while wasting it, is about.
Zumma:
You are a prize fool. Why don't you shut up for a while?
If you dont like Zuma DONT READ HIS POSTS! Stop wasting MY time with your attacks on Zuma.
I'm not surprised.
Mayor Beaneraigosa has done zero to really be serious about helping the schools. He's turned down information from other successful programs.
This guy is all about the Gentrification and Property Values that increase with all of the new school construction.
One call for city hall has been the slogan for years dufus
Is this a contest to see who can make up the stupidest name for the Mayor?
How much stupider than just plain "Zuma Dogg" could any name be?
Every time I bother to read the drivel under Zuma's postings, all I see is a circle jerk. Why don't you three or four fools get lives where you can acutally accomplish something besides whining about the "haves", while living lives of the "have nots"?
