The telecast will last one hour. A form for indicating your chapter's intent to participate is enclosed. There is no charge other than that you may encounter locally for picking up the downlink. We hope the telecast captures some of the excitement of the council and that your chapter will plan to join us. In return, the chapter is recognized in the sponsored publication, receives 150 copies of the fastback, and, if the author is willing to travel, will be able to schedule an author seminar for a chapter meeting.
Some chapters make fundraising to support the sponsorship an initial chapter project.
And often, the subsequent author's visit is used to kick off a follow-up project. Fastback sponsorships are good for the Educational Foundation and for the sponsoring chapters alike. For further information, contact Donovan R. Walling, Editor of Special Publications, at PDK Headquarters. A video program containing expert analysis of the findings in the 1995 Poll of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools is available to chapters for use in a program activity. The video itself will run for between 35 and 40 minutes and will feature reactions to the poll centering on the implications the findings have for those in leadership positions in education.
