KPRC Texas Mattress Makers Senior Scholarships
Published: May 26, 2016, 8:19 am Updated: February 5, 2020, 10:19 amNext week we will present our final $2500 Senior Scholarship of 2016. We started this program a year ago so we could highlight some amazing public school seniors, their teachers and their schools. Certainly a testament to the students and their teachers that despite budget cuts, our schools are still capable of graduating some extraordinary students. Letโs hope the proposed budget cuts for the next school year donโt limit our students. Special Thanks to our sponsor Texas Mattress Makers, all the School Districts that participated and to our KPRC Scholarship Committee for taking on the difficult task of choosing our scholarship winners.
Public comments sought about new education laws
The Department of Family and Protective Services is seeking public comments on its proposed rules to implement two important new laws that strengthen quality early care and education. The Department proposes eliminating a requirement that no more than half of the required training hours can be from self-instruction or online training. Classroom training provides a check to the misuse of online training that can occur if a student borrows the work of another or receives weak online training that does not require reading materials to answer the questions. Research has not yet documented the efficacy of online training for an adult population with minimal educational attainment. You can view the proposed rules at:http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Child_Care/Child_Care_Standards_and_Regulations/comment.aspYou can submit your comments by Dec. 19 at MSC@dfps.state.tx.usPublic comments should include the following information:
