Each business is run by a student manager. Student managers must apply for the position and be interviewed. Managers are on contract and are paid weekly into a checking account. Other employees are on time sheet. All students have a checking account accessed by personal checks which they have created.
Students learn to balance their checkbooks.
Students are evaluated on their performance. Written evaluations are given to students to show them where their strengths and weaknesses lie. Evaluations are kept on file for future reference. As are the goals of the school district, our goal is to prepare students for their next phase of education. We are a link to the high schools.
