FINAL 4-12 -16 a) MWDOC's School Education Programs are offered as a "Choice" program offering on a pay- for - service program manner for both MWDOC's member agencies and the Cities of Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana. The programs and options are described below. Typically, these programs are structured and priced annually through MWDOC's budgeting process, The School Education Program services offered by MWDOC and the City annually selects targets for both Elementary and the High School Programs. MWDOC and its contractors agree to attempt to fulfill the target amounts, but cannot guarantee such and will charge the City based on actual students and schools involved in the programs. For the School Programs, MWDOC will invoice for the total annual estimated costs and will provide a reconciliation at the year -end, based on the actual services provided. b) Elementary School Grades 1 -6 i) Currently, the Elementary School Program is operated by the Discovery Science Foundation under contract with MWDOC and offers services based on the number of students desired by each of the member agencies. The program is offered to grades 1 -6 with all students using the Keypad Program. The final billing is based on actual number of students that participate. c) High School Program Currently, the High School Program is being conducted by contract with MWDOC by Inside the Outdoors, a department of the Orange County Department of Education and is being conducted in partnership with The Ecology Center. The program offers two parts as follows: i) Basic Program - MWDOC structured the "digital portion" of the High School Program and the High School Teacher Training portion of the program, with costs allocated to member agencies and the City based on the High School Student Population count per water serving agency. This was done because the "digital" portion of the program involves development of a web -based program aimed at attracting and engaging high school students from all over the County and because the Teacher Training is open to all teachers in the County. ii) Specific Funding to a High School in the Member Agency Service Area - Agencies can elect to have at least one High School in their service area participate in the detailed program involving their entire student body. Agencies can opt in or out of this portion of the program if they do not want it offered for their service area, 7.
