Two years ago they (federal officials) approached us to see if we would contract to disseminate it. Opting to take advantage of that offer, the district was awarded more than $50,000 two years ago. That amount was cut back this year because all programs were cut back. The intent is to get as many U.S. districts to adopt the program as possible, Mr. Cammack said. The $30,000 provides for administration and dissemination activities. We can make five to presentations conferences to try to sell the program. If we persuade districts to take the program then we train their personnel and get the program going. DISTRICTS HAVE adopted the program in nine states including Idaho, Louisiana, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, Pennsylvania vwith strongest acceptance in the southeast, he said. We must validate the adoptions and make sure they are of good quality and fit urban and rural needs and we have to adopt the evaluation model (to individual district needs). Mr. Cammack said. HE ACTS as program director and a portion of his salary is taken from the $30,000 along with that for six employees who help part-tim- e in dissemination. Were the program unfunded for next year no one would be out of a job, however, because the part-tim- e employees are actually hired under a federal Title 1 education program while Mr. Cammack is a district employee, the board was told. It (the program) is in every respect and if we dont take it (request renewal of funding) others will take it, he said. The program isnt costly. Our expenses are minimal compared to others at $165 a year per student. IN MY opinion, theres a great deal of favorable recognition (for the district), Mr. Cammack said. It helps us to improve and retine our own Not only do program. program workers travel to disseminate the program, but personnel from interested districts also come to Davis District to view it.
