Executive Summary
Over the last decade, our school district has done an excellent job in keeping up with the latest in all of technological trends, accelerating the knowledge and computer skills of our students.

For example, our choices have always tended to prove to be the ...

Technology Administration is an important aspect of any organization today. Over the past decade, institutions are increasingly focusing much attention on technology administration and delegating these responsibilities to professionals such as technology coordinators and administrators. Traditionally, these roles were handled by teachers who had little or no knowledge in technology administration (Hubbel, 2012). Information technology is becoming a key component in nearly all learning processes today and as such, more intricate IT processes are developed to aid the leading learning process. These processes require a dedicated team of professionals to help in the planning, implementation and adoption of these emerging technologies.

In the United Sates, law enforcement is highly effective, and it is respected well internationally. However, the composition of law enforcement in the United States is among the most complex in the world. The early modern police departments in the United States were modeled after their predecessors in England.

Other significant concepts that were borrowed from England incorporated the local control of police agencies and limits on ...

The Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act is a law that has been codified in the United States that was specifically made to establish the grounds and limitations as to whether a foreign entity, or a foreign sovereign nation at that, can be charged and be subject to trial in a U.S. federal or state court .

What is the purpose of the data-based decision making strategy (i.e., describe, compare, correlate, or predict)?
The purpose of this data-based decision making strategy is correlate the theory of economies of scale with the outcomes in schools. The article notes that recent surveys reveal that U.S student rank poorly yet there is a steady increase in spending in the school. The proponents of economies of scale posit that school and district are similar to goods and services industries. Thus, the cost of schooling should fall as a greater number of students are enrolled in ...

1. Liberal democracies today practice one of two forms of electoral systems: single-member-district or proportional representation. Single-member-district systems are further divided into plurality and majority systems. Plurality-based single-member-district systems, or “first past the post” systems, are used by a minority of liberal democracies and involve a single representative elected to represent a constituency. The candidate who receives the most votes wins the seat and all of the votes cast for other candidates are “wasted,” as these votes do not count towards any other candidate. This encourages the strength of a small number of parties (usually two), as voters do not want their votes ...

Calvert, with his son Cecilius continuing the settlement after his death, founded Maryland in 1632.

However, it is today a magnet for artists, who display their large sized works and lure Miami locals and visitors alike. It is just a couple of minutes away from downtown Miami and boasts of offering some of the most stunning ...

QUESTION 1

The district is getting negative publicity because of the way they handled a special needs kid’s case involving one of their bus drivers. The best move would be to own up, offer an apology, and commit to fixing the problem. It is also vital that the district board corrects the mistake by fixing cameras and hiring extra monitors.
There are three possible professional standards addressed in this case. First, teachers and school boards should treat students like persons. Second, teachers, bus drivers, and district boards work in tandem to participant in the lives of all kinds of students ...

They even suggested that more schools be built in order to save that situation. The residents of that district voted against the proposal of constructing more schools. Instead, they suggested that a large and costly athletic stadium to host the football teams of the existing high schools. A ...

1. There are a few important differences between single-member districts and proportional representation in voting districts. Both are systems that are used for voting, and both have the goal of allowing the population of a voting district to choose an elected official or officials to represent the district.
In a single-member district, the voting system is designed in such a way that it allows the represented population to return only one individual as a representative to a legislative body. For example, a district may vote for an individual to send to the state legislature; this is an example of this type of voting system. It ...

Federal and State Courts

The federal and state courts acquire their authority from the constitution of United States. This authority is however acquired through several ways. The federal court system is headed by the US Supreme Court. This court gets its authority directly from the constitution. The authority and jurisdiction of federal courts under the Supreme Court is acquired through precedents that have been set by the Supreme Court usually through the doctrine of Stare Decisis and also through Congress (Meinhold & Neubaeur, 2012, p. 54). This also indicates that federal courts are governed by constitutional and federal law. The structure and rules ...

A Personal Opinion
In the United States, local government plays a vital role in the development of counties, municipalities, and districts. These governments work below the state level and usually serve as the “middleman” between the state government and the local residents. Besides the all- purpose local governments, there may be unique purpose local governments which serve a number of purposes; such as maintaining the sewerage system across a municipality or township, overseeing public transportation, establishing districts for fire protection and engaging in other public works. In Texas District 9, the local government manages district ...
