Project Homepage: Overview: The Corning City School District in Painted Post, NY, will work with local partners including the Corning Museum of Glass and Corning Inc., to address two challenges: how to prepare students to meet the demands of a rapidly changing workplace, and how to address the issue of fairness and equity in a community characterized by social and economic extremes. Beginning with the two middle schools, students and faculty will be provided with an interactive local computer network and Internet access. Additionally, computers and access to the school network from home will be provided for economically disadvantaged students. The introduction of computers into the curriculum is as integral a part of the Corning School District's 5-year Strategic Action Plan. A total of 19 consortium members will participate.
