How do schools and community organizations fund the workshops?
Some workshops are funded at the district level, others by individual school. Administrators have accessed reading, Safe Schools, anti-violence, gang or substance abuse dollars in the past. The impact of the workshop is broad, allowing for greater flexibility in funding sources. Some schools have utilized the community component to encourage the private sector to sponsor the workshops. Many have added workshops to Action Plans or annual budget process and covered the fee out of standard budgetary sources.
