Member Causey,
In response to your email request for budget figures for our student educational outreach programs, that
information is provided below. For the benefit of the other Board Members who are being copied on this email,.
I wanted to provide some context for educational programming that I look forward to sharing as part of my
presentation at Thursday's Board meeting.
Our education programming centers around several goals:
1. Invest in student education now, so long-term we can positively impact student/customer understanding
of pollution prevention and reduce impacts on our infrastructure
2. Support our vision, mission, and values
3. Fulfill our NPDES permit provision to conduct school outreach programs
4. Create a pipeline of up-and-coming water sector professionals
Most of Central San's programs have been in existence for 15 to 20+ years. The exception to that is our new
Pipe Protectors program. All of our older programs require extensive overhauling to meet new federal/state
standards.
For budgeting information, each program has some expenses that cross pollenate. Meaning we have dollars
figured for updating multiple education programs, and therefore they are not directly tied to one program, but
all programs. Secondly, expenses like printing fall under our printing agreement and not with a specific
education program. All district printing is in one agreement, not separated by Division (or further broken out by
accounts within divisions), which makes the accounting far more efficient.
Benefits Multiple Education Programs:
Central San Teacher Training Academy $15,000 Delta Discovery Voyage $40,000 Federal/State Standards
Curriculum Realignment$10,000 Pilot Education Development (Kitchen Sewer Science, Sewer Science 2.0,
future grade-specific Pipe Protectors & Sewer Science) $15,000
Individual Education Programs (implemented by Sustainable Contra Costa):
Sewer Science* $35,000
Water Wizards* $20,000
Pipe Protectors* $20,000
*This agreement is actively in negotiations, figures may change
I hope this information is helpful.
Best,
Emily
