EDUCATION NEWS PARENTS CAN USE
The U.S. Department of Education has launched a new television series about
ways parents can ensure children's educational success. Themed "Education
News Parents Can Use," the program airs the third Tuesday of every month,
8PM - 9PM Eastern. The next broadcast scheduled for Tuesday October 15th
will focus on protecting your child at home and at school. During the hour,
experts, school officials, and parents will discuss the real risks to
children-in and out of school: How can parents make sure their children
don't become victims of crime or violence? What can families and schools do
to prevent bullying-the nation's number one school-safety concern? What are
the characteristics of a safe school? What options are available through the
No Child Left Behind act for parents of students that attend dangerous
schools?  To participate, all you need is to locate a facility with
satellite downlink capability, Or, call your local cable access station or
school board channel to have them register online to obtain free satellite
coordinates at www.registerevent.ed.gov. To watch locally, use the same
