Editor's Notes
- #3 PLPs - Center of plan is the individual supported by skill development in core academics Example of PBL = Tom’s election project Example of Service Learning = Innovations include - PLPs, access to emerging school day, year round school, fostering creativity
- #7 These are only estimates. I estimated these numbers with increasing open enrollment students in mind. Year 1 had a few, year 2 has a handful, and year 3 has 10 open enrollment students. The $525,000 grant from the State ends after the 2012-13 school year.
