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