- Regular Council Meeting <br />~~ 9-23-02 <br />Page 18 <br />She's got a fabulous reputation at the School. Some students were contacted in terms of <br />whether the idea would fly and whether they liked it. It is getting out by word of mouth. <br />Just so there is enough kids to work on the physical place itself to get it in operation, in <br />working order, at which time I would say within about 2 weeks, the middle of October, a <br />flyer will go out to all the students within the School district, Public/Private will have the <br />opportunity to be involved. <br />Resident Sue Lonao: Is this a program modeled after another School, or is this something <br />you are sort of developing? <br />Council President Buckholtz said we are sort of developing it right here. <br />Audience Resident: Are there fees that the children will have to pay? <br />Council President Buckholtz says there will be. They haven't been set up as of yet. For <br />sure fees will be set up for any field trips or special events. There will be some sort of a <br />fee involved with membership once the project gets rolling. <br />~~ Resident Tim Scazny 648 Meadowood: Is there a specific syllabus set up, time line, <br />- ~ ~ agenda, on how this money is going to be spent specifically, or is it going to be, as you <br />come up with your ideas, here's the money. <br />Council President Buckholtz said no, there is a list of specific equipment and operating <br />expenses that have been defined. <br />Resident Tim Scazny: I understand the equipment, I'm talking about the syllabus exactly. <br />Being a Teacher myself, is there a syllabus exactly how this is going to be spent? <br />Council President Buckholtz said there is an outline of subject area taken mostly from <br />Discover Magazine, Technology Review, and Scientific America. Basically, what we are <br />allowing the students to do is follow emerging technologies and physics, biotechnology, <br />math, and in some cases history. We are letting them define the syllabus and then they <br />will be guided appropriately. <br />Resident Tim Scazny: Who decides how the money is spent, the $25,000? Who oversees <br />it from the Board or the Council? <br />Council President Buckholtz said that Mr. Thomas is the Parks and Recreation Director, <br />Jean Richardson is the Primary Coordinator, I'm the Creative Advisor, so it will be spent <br />as outlined in the list of equipment and supplies that were submitted to Finance <br />Committee. <br />,''~ <br />
