Moving into the 21^[st]{.underline}^ Century, Marshall County Schools
projects education as a driving force within the county, equipping
present and future citizens to become visionaries of change and positive
community revitalization. With the recognition that Marshall County,
West Virginia will survive and thrive in the digital age of information
due to the *synergistic* adaptation of all of its people and resources,
and with the utilization of its school buildings as the HEART of the
revitalization effort, Marshall County Schools submits the 21^st^
Century Learning Center (CCLC) proposal to implement H.E.A.R.T.
Ed-ventures! within four (4) elementary school sites and a community
family resource site.

**H.E.A.R.T**. will **h**i-light **e**nrichment **a**nd **r**emedial
**t**utoring while linking drug, alcohol and violence prevention
services. It will bring together a number of existing community
organizations and resources in order to provide a safe, drug-free
environment for learning enrichment activities.

The belief basis for these programs is a statement by William E.
Milliken, president of Community in Schools Inc., \"Programs don\'t
change people, relationships do. We must be willing to invest more than
a donation; we must be willing to share our lives with children who
desperately need a hand to hold and an ear to listen.\"

An increase is expected in math, science and reading skills, parental
involve-ment, community technological aware-ness, daily attendance and
recreational oppor-tunities. Decreases in family violence, teen
pregnancy and drug and alcohol use are also expected outcomes of the
project.

See (2) Quality of Project Design for a detailed description of the
goals, objectives, resources and out-comes.

###### Overview of Marshall County and

######  Rural Justification

![](media/image1.png){width="3.08740157480315in"
height="2.6992125984251967in"} Marshall County, West Virginia, is a
rural Appalachian county located in the upper panhandle of the Ohio
River Valley, and was once an industrial hub of steel, coal, and glass
manufactures. The population of 35,716 is scattered among 310 square
miles and over 50 % of the residents live in a rural setting. Due to
industry downsizing and the closing of mines and factories, many under
and unemployed, displaced workers reside in the county. Jobs are at a
premium and 120 coal miners were laid off the last week of February
2000. The unemployment rate prior to the layoff was 7.5%.

Moundsville, the county seat, is named for the Adena Indian Mounds. A
large mound is still intact in Moundsville and is adjacent to the old
prison, a small museum and Central Elementary School.

![](media/image2.jpeg){width="2.908333333333333in"
height="2.245138888888889in"}Marshall County is famous for its ancient
prison that looms menacingly over one of the targeted elementary
schools. Many of the families that moved into the county originally did
so because of family members housed in the prison system. The prison
employed many others. The prison was closed in 1995 in favor of a modern
facility, the Mt. Olive Correctional Center in Fayette County, West
Virginia. Many families were displaced and the population of the county
fell.

Recreational opportunities are few in the area. The most anticipated
events of the year are hunting season and high school sports.

According to the 1999 Kids Count Data Book, Marshall County has seen a
rise of single parent families from 1980 to 1990 of 47.3%. This
corresponds with an increase of children living in poverty (80.9%) with
the median county family income of \$26,974, which represents a decrease
of 13.1%. There has been a decrease in high paying industry jobs (31.1%,
or a loss of 2,599 jobs). The county has also seen an increase of births
to unmarried teens (55%), and an increase in the number of families with
children who are AFDC recipients (70%).

Marshall County Schools has 54.3% of students in the county receiving a
free or reduced lunch, which indicates a large percentage of at-risk
families. The targeted school populations are all above this percentage.

(21^st^ CCLC Performance Indicator - Objective 3)

Title I service was provided to 54% of children in Marshall County
Schools during the 1999-2000 School Year. Park View Elementary and
Central Elementary, two of the targeted schools, qualified for
school-wide Title I Programs (*Marshall County Title I Statistics,
October 1999).*

Researchers Joy Dryfoos, Robert Slavin, and Richard Jessor have
identified common risk factors for delinquency, substance abuse, school
drop-outs, and teen pregnancy. These risk factors include:

-   economic and social deprivation

-   a family history of high risk behaviors

-   family management problems

-   academic failure in elementary school

-   lack of commitment to school

-   early antisocial behavior, alienation and lack of social bonds,

-   early initiation of problem behavior

-   friends who engage in problem behavior

(*Dryfoos, 1990*).

**The 21^st^ CCLC proposal will implement programs designed to *prevent*
problem behaviors that**

**put adolescents at risk for academic failure.**

Needs

**NEED 1: *Marshall County must reduce the number of domestic violence
incidences in its community.*** *Facts and Assessment of Need:* Marshall
County is infamous for its number of domestic violence cases, many of
which end in death. In 1999, the Marshall County had a total of 810
Domestic Violence calls to the Sheriff\'s department and the City of
Moundsville Police. Women are expected to conform to highly traditional
roles and few further their education. The most alarming statistics are
the teen violent death rates (110% increase), the child death rate (290%
increase) and the increase in child abuse/neglect cases (7.7% increase)
*(Kids Count).* The Family Resource Network Assessment of needs in
October 1999 stated that 61% of 303 parents surveyed responded that
family violence was a \"major problem\" in Marshall County.

![](media/image3.png){width="3.55in" height="2.613779527559055in"}**NEED
2:** ***The number of dropouts and juvenile delinquency cases has
increased*** ***and the trend must be reversed.*** *Facts and Assessment
of Need:* In 1999, Marshall County juvenile statistics reported 382
hearings with 40 substance offenses for drugs and alcohol, 122 crimes
against persons/property, and 97 shoplifting offenses. There were 733
days of outside-school suspension imposed. Seventy-nine (79) students
dropped out of school during the 1998-99 school year.

**NEED 3: *Marshall County youth need quality programs to prepare them
to resist peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol and to educate them on
the immediate and accumulative dangers these substances pose. ****Facts
and Assessment of Need: Marshall* County had 79 DUI arrests by the
sheriff's department in 1999. Juveniles using controlled substances,
tobacco and alcohol that were logged into the juvenile probation system
numbered 64 in 1998 *(Marshall County Juvenile Probation Office).*
Sixty-seven percent (67%) of 303 parents surveyed by the Family Resource
Network stated that substance abuse is a \"major problem\" in Marshall
County. Students suspended from school for use and/or possession of
tobacco and controlled substances during the 1998-1999 school year
numbered 131 *(Marshall County Schools, WVEIS Coordinator).* In 1998
alone in a small, three-street neighborhood in Moundsville commonly
called the Gem Street area, Moundsville City Police intervened in 30
juvenile cases. The Gem Street children all attend the target school,
Central Elementary.

**NEED 4: *There are no youth facilities in the county other than those
in the public schools***. ***More recreational activities and/or
facilities need to be utilized for the youth of the community.** Facts
and Assessment of Need*: The nearest movie theater is 30 miles away.
There is no YMCA or Boys Club. The only indoor pool has limited hours
and is used during the winter months by the county swim team and senior
citizens. Marshall County families desire a safe place for children to
pursue recreational activities. Families want their children off the
streets, pursuing \"clean, fun\" activities that teach them academic,
coping, and social skills and provide opportunities to sharpen
employment potential. Forty-two percent (42%) of 303 parents surveyed by
the Family Resource Network stated that finding areas of recreation was
a \"major problem\".

Many of the families struggle to work longer hours in service-oriented
jobs and minimum wage employment, according to DeJong & Associates,
Inc., 1999. Families indicated a 92% need for before and afterschool
programs for their children. At the first Community Dialogue held on
January 5, 1999, this countywide focus group indicated an overwhelming
support for the before and afterschool programs to keep students safe
and learning.

DeJong & Associates

Marshall County residents met at a second focus group meeting and agreed
that the schools were a valuable community resource that should be open
to children and community members for before/after school programs and
community tutorial programs. *(DeJong & Associates, Inc.) .)* I

In light of the desires of families and children, Marshall County
Schools' Superintendent, Nick Zervos, and several key stakeholders
advocating services for adolescents and their families attended the
Governor's Summit for West Virginia. This summit, based upon General
Colin Powell's *America's Promise: The Alliance For Youth*, challenged
Marshall Countians to provide youth at risk access to five resources
critical to their development:

-   *An ongoing relationship with a caring adult*

-   *Safe places and structured activities in non-school hours*

-   *A healthy start for a healthy future*

-   *Marketable and career skills through effective education*

-   *An opportunity to give back through service.*

Marshall County became a "Community of Promise" on November 16, 1999.
The America\'s Promise Fellowship member has secured promises from
business partners in relationship to youth and education

To this end, planning committees have sponsored community focus groups
to ensure that the needs of young people are known, that community
resources are fully tapped, and that resources are effectively and
broadly delivered. Members of these community groups assessed the gaps
in services for the children and families in this rural area. It was
noted that limited recreational and extended opportunities existed for
at-risk

students. Four elementary schools and one community resource center were
then targeted for HEART revitalization efforts due to the extreme
at-risk factors and low standardized test scores in reading and math.

**NEED 5:** ***A limited number of families have computers or access to
skills to enhance their educational opportunities thus limiting
employment abilities and widening the digital divide.***

*Facts and Assessment of Need:* The Family Resource Network Needs
Assessment conducted in the fall of 1999 recorded the concerns of 303
parents surveyed. They stated the following as Major Problems in
Marshall County: 54% earned 0-10,000.00 per year, 22% did not graduate
from high school, and 61% stated that unemployment was a major problem.
In addition, during the 1998-1999 school year, through another grant
entitled *Tech-knowledg-e*, basic computer instruction was offered free
to the community at the Park View Computer Lab. The classes ran for
eight weeks, four days per week. The classes were filled the first day
notice was published in the newspaper. There were more than ***352***
people who were put on a waiting list in the event a class participant
couldn\'t attend. Attendance at all classes numbered 521 (*Carla
Garrison, Marshall County Computer Coordinator).*

**NEED 6: *Reading, Science and Math skills need improvement as
evidenced by the Stanford Achievement Test Scores. ****Facts and
Assessment of Need:*

**Stanford Achievement Test, 1998-1999, Mean Percentile Scores by Grade
and Subject,**

management, and childcare skills need to be improved and reinforced*.**
*Facts and Assessment of Need*: The Family Resource Network Assessment
results clearly indicated the need for better parenting skills, as 41%
of 303 parents stated that parenting skills were a Major Problem. During
the 1998-1999 school year, the Parent Resource Centers received 953
incoming and outgoing phone calls to parents, educators and community
members. The PERC had 52 walk-ins and distributed a total of 11,000
items of information and/or documents per request. The learning
libraries loaned 523 videos, 3,216 books, 422 educational toys/games and
112 educator kits. Examples of assistance include assisting a parent
with concerns for their child being bullied at school; and assisting
parents with budgeting and nutrition information (Jenine Zackey, PERC
Director).

**Projects designed to assist students to meet or exceed state and local
standards in core academic subjects such as reading, mathematics or
science, as appropriate to the needs of the participating children.**

The Marshall County 21st CCLC H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! Project is a
vision of revitalizing a community through the synergistic adaptation of
its

people and resources. The utilization of Marshall County Schools as the
HEART of the project is the catalyst. The team vision is to blend the
resources and services into an integrated community-wide effort. With
the concerted work of all stakeholders, Marshall Countians will be
thrust towards the 21^st^ century well equipped to meet educational and
social challenges. Through this same synergy, Marshall County 21^st^
CCLC will sustain programming beyond the project years.

**Goal**

**The goal of the 21^st^ CCLC H.E.A.R.T. project is to plan, implement,
coordinate, expand and integrate education, service and support
services. Emphasis will be placed upon preventive services that decrease
the existing high-risk factors for delinquency, dropouts, drug abuse,
alcoholism, domestic violence and teen pregnancy. It is evident that
some or all of these factors overlap one-another in most instances. By
decreasing the instances of these detrimental behaviors, academic and
social successes become attainable. Atmospheres for homework and study
will be made available. Safe, drug and violence-free activities will
provide alternative recreational opportunities that have been lacking**

**in the past. The objectives have been designed to meet this goal as
well as the U.S. Department of Education\'s performance indicators for
21^st^ CCLC programs. This ensures that the Marshall 21^st^ CCLC
fulfills the Government Performance and Result Act**

1.  Literacy education programs to serve 700 school-aged youths and
    adults.

2.  Drug-prevention education and activities for 300 youths.

3.  Violence prevention education for 180 youths.

4.  Integrated education, health, social service, recreational, or
    cultural program for 1200 youths and adults.

these programs work together.**

(3) **Adequacy of resources (15 points)**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
A.  **The adequacy of support, including facilities, equipment, supplies
    and other resources, from the applicant organization or the lead
    applicant organization.**

B.  **The extent to which the costs are reasonable in relation to the
    number of persons to be served and to the anticipated results and
    benefits.**

There are currently 25 organizations and/or people collaborating to
provide support and services for the proposed H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures!
program. One of these entities, the Marshall County Family Resource
Network, is a collaborative network of over 100 members from local human
service organizations, education, mental behavioral health agencies,
community membership groups and \"consumers\" of services.

Four elementary school buildings targeted for the 21^st^ CCLC programs
are well equipped with gymnasiums, libraries, 25-station computer labs
and complete kitchens. All schools are accessible to persons with
disabilities and have populations of students with disabilities
attending them. All of the target schools have playground areas, and one
has a public park adjacent. Principals and faculty members have signed a
commitment to support the H.E.A.R.T. Project.

The Parent Educator Resource Center (PERC) is located within Park View
Elementary. This school has the second highest free and reduced lunch
population of students and is a targeted 21^st^ CCLC school. The PERC
receives blended funding from Title I and Special Education and provides
families with information, support, training, and linkage with social
service agencies. The 21^st^ CCLC program will expand these activities
throughout the other three targeted elementary schools.

Another family resource center that will be connected with 21^st^ CCLC
programming is the Starting Points Center. The Center is located within
the community and provides family management programs. One \"Parents as
Teachers\" 21st CCLC Coordinator will be placed there to provide home
visits to high-risk families and to implement the Parents as Teachers
program.

Both Starting Points and the PERC contain educational toys, books and
videos for loan to families. These learning libraries contain
children\'s books, science and math videos, educational software, and
games that teach history, geography and math. Both centers also have
educational, electronic toys. These resources will be available to the
21^st^ CCLC project and to families within the programs.

The proposed year one budget of \$480,000.00 provides effective
implementation of the objectives for the Marshall County Schools 21^st^
CCLC proposal. The budget ensures that caring, competent professionals
who understand the risk factors that lead to negative behaviors and the
needs of the students are secured. Many funding streams and programs are
blended with the 21^st^ CCLC to ensure sustainability, such as Title I,
Special Education and Safe and Drug Free Schools.

Many volunteer service projects are also included with the 21^st^ CCLC
proposal. They include the Foster Grandparent program, Americorps,
AmericCorps\*VISTAs, and the America\'s Promise Fellowship program. The
advisory board will have

representation from all of these programs and representatives from Title
I, Safe and Drug Free Schools and Special Education. The combining of
service stream personnel, school administration and funding sources
insures sustainability of the 21^st^ CCLC H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures!
program.

**(4) Quality of the management plan. (15 points)**

A.  **The adequacy of the management plan to achieve the objectives of
    the proposed project on time and within budget, including clearly
    defined responsibilities, timelines, and milestones for
    accomplishing project tasks.\
    **

B.  **How the applicant will ensure that a diversity of perspectives are
    brought to bear in the operation of the proposed project, including
    those of parents, teachers, the business community, a variety of
    disciplinary and professional fields, recipients or beneficiaries of
    services, or others, as appropriate.**

The 21^st^ CCLC H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! project will embrace all levels
of students and community members through the open doors of four
elementary schools and one family resource center, strategically located
within the highest-need communities of Marshall County. A typical model
of a 21^st^ Century Community Learning Center in operation follows:

The center will be open from 3:15 - 6:00 p.m., five days a week.
H.E.A.R.T. staff will coordinate with Safe and Drug Free staff to
provide a nutritious snack, tutoring in core academic areas,
recreational and enrichment activities, computer instruction, and
extended library hours. Once per week, the West Liberty State College
S.M.A.R.T. Center staff will bring to the after-school programs advance
science and math \"fun\" activities. Once a week the YMCA staff will
provide physical recreation and teach the students about healthy
behaviors and social interaction. Each site will spend an over-nighter
at the YMCA facility eating pizza, playing basketball, swimming and
\"having a blast.\" Wheeling Jesuit University Challenger Learning
Center will provide a teacher training and science programming. Wheeling
Jesuit will provide distance learning to the after-school programs
through the technology labs at each school.

Middle school and high school students will mentor the elementary
students and take part in the Internet access computer lab trainings,
along with any enrichment and support activities that appeal to them.
*Safe and Smart: Making After-school Hours Work for Kids (USDE)*
recommends that academic-linked activities be \"fun and engaging.\"
H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! will attract participants through several
exciting programs and will engage students and community members in a
passion for life-long learning.

**Personnel, Training, Duties & Qualifications**

**Training**

As with any rural area, the need to keep abreast of pertinent
information regarding education, community collaboration, and \"what
works with kids\" is of utmost importance. This proposal will address
these issues through providing training for teen volunteers,
middle-school participants, parents, community members and staff in
order to ensure an equal \"voice\" to all participants. Community
Education Orientation Workshops located at the National Center for
Community Education in Flint, Michigan will benefit the collaborative
process. Project staff will attend the two-day annual meeting of the
21^st^ CCLC Program in Washington, D.C. All 21^st^ CCLC H.E.A.R.T.
Ed-ventures! staff members will have prior experience and/or will
receive training in working with the target population. Degrees
appropriate to the field of specialization will be required.

a community and designs program that decrease risk behaviors.

The 21^st^ CCLC H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! Project Consultant will, upon
notification of the award, begin recruitment of personnel for the
project; develop a hiring committee of persons representing the
community and the educational organization; secure a contract with the
project evaluator; inform the principals and faculty of the schools; and
work with the Family Resource Center Director to form an advisory board
that truly represents all aspects of the

project. Throughout the year the consultant will continue to provide

**(4) Quality of the management plan. (*continued)***

(B) **How the applicant will ensure that a diversity of perspectives are
    brought to bear in the operation of the proposed project, including
    those of parents, teachers, the business community, a variety of
    disciplinary and professional fields, recipients or beneficiaries of
    services, or others, as appropriate.**

Advisory Groups of students, parents and teachers at the targeted
schools will provide feedback on the project on a monthly basis. Each
school\'s local school-improvement council will receive information on
the after-school activities. Faculty Senates at each school will be
asked to contribute suggestions on curriculum integration and ways to
achieve state and national goal achievement in math, science and
technology. Weekly staff meetings will ensure coordination of the
programming throughout the individual schools.

Test scores, parent, student and community surveys, and crime rate
statistics will be included in the review process to measure the success
of H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! Summary information form the Community Focus
Groups will provide feedback regarding youth needs, services, and
community evaluation of the project. An outside evaluator will be
contracted to assess program strengths and weaknesses. The Project
Direct, Program Coordinator, Program H.E.A.R.T. Coordinators, building
administrators, a staff representative and parent representative from
each school, and advisory board members will collect data for the
evaluation of the project. Additionally, teachers and students who are
directly involved in the use of grant-acquired resources will be asked
to provide input to the evaluation process.

No one will be kept from participation due to race, color, age or
disability. Children with disabilities will be provided special adaptive
devices in order to facilitate participation in the after-school
programs. Appreciation of national origin is fostered through
multicultural day activities, and age differences (generation gaps) are
lessened as the \"foster grandparents\" mentor the youth in the
community.

Young females in the county suffer from the traditional views of what
women can and cannot do. This reflects in the county domestic violence
rates and in the reasons that many women stay in abusive relationships.
H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! will provide science and math programming that
will encourage elementary school females towards exploration of careers
that utilize math and science skills and call attention to the need for
equity in the classroom. Wheeling Jesuit University Challenger Learning
Center for Space Science Education will implement the *ESS Space
Mission* curriculum including two days of parent/teacher training; four
weeks of Earth Science curriculum delivered online; and two-hour live
space mission linked through technology.

**Sustainability of Program after Project Ends**

The Community of Promise Members, Family Resource Network, Title I,
Parent Educator Resource Center, and Marshall County Schools have all
pledged to find ways to continue the H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! project
past the funding period. The 21^st^ CCLC grant will initially provide
the means to pull together the numerous organizations that will take
part in the project. All schools in Marshall County have a business
partner in education that will be asked to assist in providing
scholarships for children in need to participate in H.E.A.R.T.
Ed-ventures after the end of the grant. Safe and Drug Free Schools
grants are being written to continue after-school services and expand
them into all of the schools in Moundsville. Volunteers, such as Foster
Grandparents, VISTA members, America\'s Promise members and parents will
continue to be recruited. Recognition and support of the volunteers are
priorities of the project and will continue after funding ends to
motivate and sustain the critical volunteer basis of the program. The
local paper regularly provides space for stories about Marshall County
Schools and will target the volunteer staff with recognition articles.
Volunteers will be recognized and rewarded monthly and at the end of the
year by the H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! program through certificates,
ribbons, and t-shirts. Small fund-raisers, such as candy and T-shirt
commission sales will help fund some of the activities as well as help
provide recognition to the staff.

**Uses of Funds USC §8245**

H.E.A.R.T. Ed-ventures! will address the requirements of United States
Code Section 8245 (1) Literacy education programs. (2) Senior citizen
programs. (4) Integrated education, health, social service,
recreational, or cultural programs. (5) Summer and weekend school
programs in conjunction with recreation programs. (6) Nutrition and
health programs. (7) Expanded library service hours to serve community
needs. (8) Telecommunications and technology education programs for
individuals of all ages. (9) Parenting skills education programs. (10)
Support and training for child daycare providers. (13) Services for
individuals with disabilities.

**Quality of Project Evaluation (10 points)**

(A) **The extent to which the methods of evaluation include the use of
    objective performance measures that are clearly related to the
    intended outcomes of the project and will produce quantitative and
    qualitative data to the extent possible.**

The evaluation plan for the Marshall County 21^st^ CCLC H.E.A.R.T.
Ed-ventures! Project is based on the ongoing assessment of the
project\'s effectiveness in meeting the goals, objectives, outcomes and
performance indicators outlined in the Program Design. The evaluation
will be conducted by Behavioral Health Consultative Services, a West
Virginia-based organization.

The Project Evaluator will work with the Project Director, the staff and
the County Partnership Advisory Board to develop a qualitative and
quantitative data-gathering process that will include ongoing
monitoring, assessment and evaluation. Behavioral Health consultative
Services will help to summarize the data to provide information to all
relevant parties. This analysis will allow project personnel to make
program changes as appropriate.

Formative evaluation data will include qualitative descriptions of the
program\'s impact on students and families. Pre- and post- tests will
gather information in order to evaluate changes in attitude, knowledge
and behavior for all involved. Focus groups will assess staff, student,
parent, and teacher perceptions of the program and identify potential
program improvements. Summative evaluation data will include
quantitative analysis of the project\'s impact in terms of the numbers
served, progress in meeting the program goals and the measurable decline
of negative behaviors. Items identified at this time to be assessed will
be

-   Program Attendance

-   Effectiveness of the community partnerships

-   Progress toward meeting goal and program objectives

-   School System and community involvement

-   Assessment of progress in meeting quality indicators

-   Family involvement

-   Teacher evaluation of motivation, progress, and discipline

-   Communication, internal and external

-   Accountability

-   Program Management

The evaluation plan will include pre and post instruments for students
in program schools and a control school to establish a baseline in order
to assess participant changes and program effectiveness. Application
forms, participant files, attendance records, computer database of
project statistics, quarterly reports, the annual report, surveys, and
circulation of program brochures and newsletters, in addition to school
discipline records, teacher/parent report and juvenile offense records
will be reviewed and analyzed. The Project Evaluator will meet monthly
with the Project Director, identified staff, parents and community
members to gather information and data. Quarterly meetings will be
scheduled with the Project Director and Advisory Board to provide
information and feedback to provide information and feedback to help
guide the Project Director and staff as they review the direction and
design of the program. In addition, the quarterly report will provide
information for media coverage with the goal of stimulating current
interest, but also as a tool to stimulate future funding needed for
sustainability.

**Summary**

In summary, Marshall County is a community mobilized to take limited
resources and, through passionate perseverance and synergy, turn them
into creative solutions to the many problems facing children and
families of the 21^st^ Century. Marshall County members are determined
to \"spin straw into gold\", or to multiply a small amount of resources
into enough for all children and families in the county. Perhaps this is
a miraculous undertaking, but with the empowerment of the vision of hope
for the 21^st^ Century Community Learning Centers within the community,
it is not an impossible task. Many small steps have been taken prior to
this time. Marshall County Schools will build upon these fruitful
endeavors and *expand* the vision to include greater, more encompassing,
works based on the successful models already operating within the school
district.
