officials who have recently launched—or are considering whether to launch—such programs in their jurisdictions often seek out more experienced MHCs for guidance and advice. To facilitate peer-to-peer assistance among jurisdictions that have established, or are planning to establish, MHCs, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA)—through its technical assistance provider, the Council of State Governments Justice Center—has designated five MHCs as ‘learning sites.’ Located across the country, these learning sites represent a diverse cross-section of perspectives and program examples. Learning sites will host visits to their courts and respond to telephone/email inquiries from the field." Exhibit K: Advisory Commission on the Administration of Justice, 7-8-14

Source: WESTERN INTERSTATE COMMISSION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION (WICHE) Pages: 70 Subject: 1. UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES--STUDENTS. Notes: "This report describes the process and lessons from the pilot project involving Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

Among the lessons identified in this report are: The MLDE is feasible. The central goal of the pilot was proving it is possible to successfully exchange student-level data

across sectors and states. Student confidentiality is protected through legally compliant data sharing agreements and a common, usable dataset can be assembled from myriad data sources.

Data sharing provides more comprehensive information about workforce outcomes and swirl in the education and labor sectors. Exchanging data across state lines plugged significant gaps in each states’ standalone data that exist from student and worker migration, and gave state leaders an enhanced picture of workforce outcomes of graduates from their state.

The MLDE demonstrates how cooperative cross-state data sharing could help address workforce planning. With an arrangement like the MLDE, state policymakers can also investigate how their state attracts workers who were educated elsewhere, which can be a crucial component of meeting current and future workforce needs."

Project (Electronic Document) --2014. Source: WESTERN INTERSTATE COMMISSION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION (WICHE) Pages: 59 Subject: 1. UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES--STUDENTS. Notes: "This report presents findings from a series of analyses of the exchanged data. The report presents a richer picture than

would be available without the enhanced data enabled by states agreeing to share their individual-level education and workforce data. Among the findings are: The data exchange improved information available to state policymakers. Sharing data between the four states made it possible to determine where college students ended up after graduation for 7 percent more college graduates than the states would have known about from their own standalone data; the number of students found after graduation would increase if data were available from more states. Over 60 percent of recent college graduates remained in the state where they graduated for at least the year after graduation. The data also show that the incidence was even greater among recent high school graduates of the states. Earnings can vary significantly. Perhaps not surprisingly, recent college graduates’ earnings can vary significantly—by as much as 50 percent when one looks beyond overall earnings rates to things like field of study and whether graduates continue in their studies as they work. And, from a cross-state data exchange such as this, one can also look at how earnings vary for graduates who remain in state to work or go elsewhere."

Subject: 1. EDUCATION--FINANCES. 2. STATISTICS. 3. TAXATION. 4. UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES--FINANCES. Notes: "Since 1960, Grapevine has published annual compilations of data on state tax support for higher education, including

general fund appropriations for universities, colleges, community colleges, and state higher education agencies. Each year’s Grapevine survey has asked states for tax appropriations data for the new fiscal year and for revisions (if any) to data reported in previous years. As of fiscal year 2010, Grapevine tables–including both tax and non-tax support–have been produced by Illinois State University’s Center for the Study of Education Policy in cooperation with the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO). The Grapevine survey has been consolidated with the annual survey used by SHEEO in its State Higher Education Finance (SHEF) project (http://www.sheeo.org/finance/shef-home.htm) . This consolidated questionnaire asks for data that are compiled in a new State Support for Higher Education database. This database, in turn, is used to produce both the annual Grapevine tables, which provide a first look at state appropriations for the new fiscal year, and the annual SHEF report, which offers a more complete examination of trends in total state support for higher education, factoring in inflation and enrollment."

Title: NEVADA : Preparing to launch; early childhood’s academic countdown (Electronic Document) --2015.

Source: EDUCATION WEEK Pages: 14 Series: State Highlights 2015 Subject: 1. EDUCATION--ASSESSMENT. 2. EDUCATION--NEVADA. 3. EDUCATION--PRESCHOOL. Notes: A special supplement to Education Week's Quality Counts, produced in collaboration with the Pew Charitable Trusts

"After a one-year hiatus from issuing state grades, the 19th annual edition of Quality Counts—Preparing to Launch: Early Childhood’s Academic Countdown—resumes Education Week’s long-standing tradition of grading the states on their performance. This year, those grades return in a newer, leaner form that focuses on outcomes rather than on policy and processes. A state’s overall grade is the average of its scores on the three separate indices tracked by the report. This year, Nevada finishes 50th among the 50 states and District of Columbia, with an overall score of 65 out of 100 points and a grade of D. The nation as a whole posts a grade of C." Report "focuses on early-childhood education as its special theme, examining how new academic demands and accountability pressures are altering the learning environment for young children and the educators serving them."

college enrollments in fall 2014 overall, that are driven in large part by declining enrollments at community colleges and four-year private for-profits. Four-year public and nonprofits showed increases for the sixth term in a row. Enrollment declines are attributed to declines in older students enrolling as the economy improves, and declines in high school graduates."

Source: AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (AASCU) Pages: 7 Series: Policy Matters Subject: 1. UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. Notes: “Top 10 Higher Education State Policy Issues for 2015 - the latest ‘Policy Matters’ brief from the American Association of

State Colleges and Universities - identifies tuition policy and state higher education appropriations as the number one and number two issues that will dominate policy discussions and decisions in the upcoming year. Campus sexual assault jumped to the number three spot, reflecting rapidly shifting public concerns and policy priorities from previous years. The report further identifies undocumented students, guns on campus, veterans education, and performance-based funding as key topics for policymakers in 2015. Other issues to watch include free community college and the alignment of common academic standards for K-12 and higher education. The brief concludes that incoming governors and legislators in 2015 will confront a more diverse and challenging array of issues than they have in the past, making it necessary for postsecondary stakeholders to help create a culture of collaboration in the states that will address both the concerns of policymakers and the contributions of higher education in the upcoming year and beyond."

mandates—on state, local, and tribal governments and entities in the private sector in order to achieve national goals. In 1995, lawmakers enacted the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) in part to ensure that, during the legislative process, the Congress receives information about the potential effects of mandates as it considers proposed legislation. To that end, UMRA requires CBO, at certain points in the legislative process, to assess the cost of mandates that would apply to state, local, and tribal governments or to the private sector. This report, which is part of an annual series that began in 1997, summarizes CBO’s activities in 2012 under UMRA."

Title: BROKEN PROMISES TO OUR CHILDREN : The 1998 State Tobacco Settlement *YEARS* years later (Book) --AN 2009 --

Source: ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION Pages: 120+ Subject: 1. TOBACCO SETTLEMENT. Notes: "Since the states settled their lawsuits against the tobacco companies in November 1998, our organizations have issued

annual reports assessing whether the states are keeping their promise to use a significant portion of their settlement funds–expected to total $246 billion over the first 25 years–to attack the enormous public health problems posed by tobacco use in the United States. In addition to the billions of dollars they receive each year from the tobacco settlement, the states collect billions more in tobacco taxes. In the current budget year, Fiscal Year 2013, the states will collect a record $25.7 billion in revenue from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes. This year, our report finds that states continue to spend only a miniscule portion of their tobacco revenues to fight tobacco use. The states have also failed to reverse deep cuts to tobacco prevention and cessation programs that have undermined the nation’s efforts to reduce tobacco use." (2012 ed.)

favor making marijuana legally available for doctors to prescribe in order to reduce pain and suffering (Mendes 2010). Given this level of support, it could be viewed as surprising that approximately half of the states still have not legalized medical marijuana. Opponents of medical marijuana, however, have employed a number of arguments, several of which focus on marijuana use by teenagers."

The rates quadrupled in four of these states and tripled in 10 more of these states. Prescription drug related deaths now outnumber those from heroin and cocaine combined, and drug overdose deaths exceed motor vehicle-related deaths in 29 states and Washington, D.C.
