Laurie stated that it would cost approximately $300.00 dollars for a 30-minute show. OSAB stated that they have many ideas and look forward to working together in the future. Discussion Educational Initiative in Local Schools Larry developed an itemized sheet that could be distributed to teachers at local schools aimed at increasing education regarding Open Space. Tom stated that the teachers he spoke to (2nd to 5th grade) with recommended starting education with children at a young age in order to engage students. Additionally, Tom stated that Fireside Elementary received the idea positively. Ember asked how many times a year they would like each class to participate and Tom stated that he did not ask that question and would follow up with an answer. Spencer asked what could be done organizationally to move this forward. Tom replied that we should start making a list of topics of the key points that need to be communicated. Justin suggested that OSAB coordinate with a local teacher (possibly at Fireside Elementary) in order to gain insight into their curriculum so OSAB can integrate educational goals concerning OSAB.
