I am looking to obtain an M.L.I.S. degree for the purpose of helping community’s setup literary islands of
education where there are shortfalls in the current educational system. Since poorer areas are underserved and
under-represented in attendance, more fulfilling intuitive methods are needed to pull kids out of the dysfunction of
illiteracy and enable them a safe-haven to get away from the noise and clutter of a barrage of choices of
entertainment that do not allow them a ‘distraction free zone’ to accomplish school work and study.

By simply reaching communities with safe places for kids to study and learn, we increase the probability that
literacy goals can be obtained with some innovative methods and outreach support from institutions like the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, Intel Education Initiative and the Clinton Global initiative.

Attitudes for learning start at home and in cultures. I am looking to reach families and family support
systems as part of an integrated effort to provide support for individual children. Children from high family support
cultures do not do well alone like Anglo culture. To make cultures and families empowered, we have to take a
holistic approach to family outreach and education. That effort acts as a community inspired goal to help all
interested parties achieve results. When communities work together for good, the bad and negative elements that
fight against literacy are often isolated and identified by the community. Those resistant to change for change
sake are often enlisted into the process to help receive the benefits to themselves first, and then the support
gathers momentum as the pillars of the community in connection to lower culture leaders begin to unite in
purpose for the betterment of all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg

Bloomberg's first mayoralty coincided with a major shift of authority over the city's public school system from the
state government to the city government. From 1968 until 2000, New York City's schools were managed by the
Board of Education, which was comprised of seven members. Only two of the seven were appointed by the
mayor, which meant the City had a minority of representatives on the board and the mayor's ability to shape
education policy was greatly diminished.

Bloomberg has enforced a strengthened cell-phone ban in city schools that had its roots dating to a 1988 school
system ban on pagers. The ban is controversial among some parents, who are concerned with their ability to
contact their children. Administration representatives have noted that students are distracted in class by cell
phones and often use them inappropriately, in some instances sending and receiving text messages, taking
photographs, surfing the Internet, and playing video games, and that cell-phone bans exist in other cities
including Detroit and Philadelphia.[citation needed]
 • On May 27, 2007 Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the four-year high school graduation rate in
New York City has reached 60%, the highest level since the City began calculating the rate in 1986 and an 18%
increase since the Mayor assumed control of the public schools in 2002.[16]
