From Pat: Marshall Consortium Staff - I would like to request input from you on two issues we spoke about in our June 8th staff meeting. What is your feeling about our consortium requesting a $10 - $20 material fee once a year of all students? Would you be willing to be part of pilot project of creating a course outline that would be covered in a 3 month time period for your students? At the end of the 3 months the students who completed the class would receive the outline on one side of a piece of paper and on the other side would be a certificate of attendance. Thank you for your input. --------------------------------------------------- 7. We have one computer system left to sell.
