'61 Graduate Developes Curriculum A former Hale Center graduate is

making strides in developing a beller learning enyirC)nmene for Amarillo sJudents. Donnie Smith, a 1961 Hale Center graduate, is hoping to bring back enthusiasm and the wonder of discovery back to the classroom after spending his summer vacation as an intern with the Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Center.

The summer experIence will help Smilb develop curriculums for schools across the nationbasedon his experience studying Ibe hum8Jl immune system on the cellular, molecularundatomic level.

According toSmilh,thesonofformer residents Oeorge and Georgia Smith, "Many of the procedures seen are

represented by only a tiny paragraph in textbooks." The Amarillo Hij!h SchOOl biology teacher also commented, ~'Qui te often, alilbe 'stiidents read about is 'lbe initial questiDn and Ibe solution. They have no idea what has happened in between."

Smith's learning experienee was made pC\Ssible by a partnership between the Amarillo Independent School District and the Harrington Cancer Center. Educational slipends to finance the study are provided by the American Association of Immunologists and the American Society for Biochemistry ap~ Molecular Biology,

Oh no, .aid !he big three, you 'YIIIOt il wrong. The problem Ilea nOl with us, but wilh the sllle'S economy; the taxpayers, and school boarda and administratoR_ We Ihne would keep !he promise if only Ibe economy were slronger, if taxpayers W'1uld support new Sllte money for education, and if local schoOl officialli wouldstop wsating all the new slate money they've already gOllen and show us 80me results. Bullock told reporters state aid ,bas neatly doubled in Ibe put dec8de, and Lewis proclaimed to ,the press Ibat taxpayers'are demanding to knDw, "Where have allibe billions gone1M

Had something changed? Had educators overreacted to the June 8 leller? Not really. But unfortunately, that's whala lot of f'1lks seem tolbink. Truth is Sullock was simply filling in some blanks in !he earlier letter. He wasll't adding one Ibin dime 10 the pot. He 'was talking about money that was alreedythere. Moneylbatwllassumed, but not mentioned in !he June 8 letter. MOlley that still leaves us $3 blllion short of the promise of SB 351.

So how does this all fit logether, and what docs it mean forpuhlic education?

The reality about whme all Ibe pest billions have gone is !hat when you adjust for student population gTOwlb, innation, and new state IIW1dates, real state aid is about the same or less Iba .. it was a decade ago. After adjusting for growth and inflation alone (!he costa of new mandates are not u well kn'1wn), we found an avcrage annual increase of less than I % a year from 1983-84 through 1992-93.

Now lei's take a (mal look al Ihc S3.7Bbillion.-ledlOteeplbepromilC of SB 351. Student population growlb, u we've said, will leko $ I billi'1n. Inflation, wccalculate, will take anolber $980 milli'1lL 1'hItleaves $ I.B billion for real progress toward equity atid excellence.

If we get only $650 million, we not only forego Ibe promise of progress, we fall behindgroWlhand inflationby $1.33 billion. And if we get only 51 hill ion, we cover growth, but not inflation. So we're still headed downhill. Is Ibis really what the people are telling Ibe governor thoy Wlllt for their kids?

EC is not unmindful or ungrateful !hat !he Slate's record on thedistribution of Slate aid has improved very substantially over Ibe past decade. We !hank our friends in all Ihree branches '1f government for Ibose improvements iii equity. Bue the playing field is still not level. Our friends .in other associations and in ' wealthy districts have IBken the position that it is the state's responsibility to complete the leveling process with state funds. We aglee_

The state has done just about 011 the leveling it feasibly can do with distribution schemes. The only way to set 10 equity and excellence without slll>stantially more state money is to impose some form of mnssive recapture and outrageous property tex rates. Stale officials have been frantically looking for olber options for nearly a decade now, and nobody has come even c1osc.
