N.C. Math and Science Programs
To Receive Boost From Grants
By Rachel Hodges
Staff Writer
The UNC system received $21.3 mil
lion to develop programs in science and
math in 17 rural school districts in east
ern North Carolina, Sen. John Edwards,
D-N.C., announced Tuesday.
The N.C. Partnership for Improving
Mathematics and Science received a $l3
million grant from the National Science
Foundation.
The grant will be coupled with $8.3
million from the U.S. Department of
Education also allocated for the pro
gram.
Edwards spokesman Carlos Monje
said the grant, which will be a joint effort
between Eastern Carolina University,
Fayetteville State University, UNC-
Wilmington and UNC-Pembroke, will
be “a partnership for improving mathe
matics and science.”
“(The UNC system) is doing great
work to promote science and math in
North Carolina’s schools,” Edwards stat
ed in an e-mail.
“This assistance will help the univer-

for the two facilities should be consid
ered further. “They’re very good ideas,
and we ought to explore them.”
But officials from both universities
and the hospital must present a clear
plan and firm up the projects’ directions
before lawmakers can give them prop
er consideration, he said.
sity (system) make a major difference in
the lives of our children.”
UNC-system President Molly Broad
stated in a press release that while the
grant shows North Carolina’s determi
nation to strengthen public schools, it
also “reflects the university (system’s)
growing success at attracting federal
grants and contracts to leverage scarce
state dollars.”
The grant focuses on schools in areas
that are low-income in comparison to
state averages, Monje said. The program
is meant to increase student learning in
science and math while decreasing the
achievement gap.
Programs Mso are being launched to
aid teacher development and to create
after-school programs for students in
pre-K through 12th grade.
The program wifi attempt to get more
parents involved - encouraging partici
pation with activities like family astron
omy nights, nature walks and opportu
nities to talk to scientists.
The grant also will support a state
advisory board to connect local and
state agencies.
Redwine said he is confident that offi
cials wifi be able to do the necessary
research and present legislators with a
viable proposal next session. Once that is
accomplished, the funding will be
approved with ease, he said. “It will be
one of the first items to go next year,”
Redwine said. “That thing will sail through
here like a knife through hot butter.”
But Lee said he thinks legislation
funding the cancer treatment center
might run into roadblocks next session.

Because the first part of the con
struction will close down part of the
building, the librarians are prepared for
a possible increase in the number of vis
itors to the library’s Web site.
“The library will remain open,”
Jenkins said. “The first stage of the ren
ovation has forced us to move all the
people, computer stations and copy
machines to the top three floors.
“We understand that this will make
it difficult to host as many students as
we are used to, so we are prepared to
make any necessary changes to the
Web site.”

“You can have effective teaching
going on, but if district leadership does
n’t support it, it’s not as firmly in place,”
said Verna Holoman, executive director
of the N.C. Mathematics and Science
Education Network.
The 17 eastern North Carolina dis
tricts involved in the program support
more than 200,000 students.
The program is part of President
Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” educa
tion plan.
One facet of the program is to
increase the education of teachers.
It will help “build a cadre of lead
teachers who will remain in the district
to serve as coaches for their peers,”
Holoman said.
There are also high hopes the pro
gram will help North Carolina in its
goal of having the highest-ranked pub
lic schools in the nation by the year
2010, according to a press release put
out by the UNC-system Office of the
President.
The State & National Editor can be
reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
He said there likely still will be con
tention over the proposed revenue
source for the cancer treatment center -
tobacco setdement money.
Legislators should have finalized
funding for the center this year, he said.
“I think we should have moved forward
aggressively. It’s not as if this idea just
popped up at the end.”

could not replace the actual structure.
Many people still visit the library
even in the digital age, she said. The
library allows them to do more than
check out books.
They can meet with librarians, hold
study groups and take classes.
Estroff also stressed the importance
of a campus library.
“No facility is more important than
the libraries,” she said. “The campus
could not function without the library. It
is the heart of the University.”
