Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: A school improvement plan is often the translation of national and state goals into statements that coincide more closely with the local level. Often developed by a school based management team, the plan suggests the path a district will take in reaching national goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The Soviet satellite Sputnik, launched in 1957 during the Cold War Era, shocked America into refocusing on academic essentials and mental discipline, especially in the areas of science and math. The new educational climate also increased the emphasis on topnotch education for academically talented children.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
