You asked a lot of good and pertinent questions.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
David gave preliminary answers to some of your questions. The answer to all of the other questions is:<BR>
<BR>
all of the info we have is given in the email sent to me by the SF Unified School District. This email, and the attachments that came with it are on our wiki:<BR>
<A href="https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Sfusd_excel_program">https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Sfusd_excel_program</A><BR>
There were two attachments that came with the email. One of them I turned into a JPG, which you can see on the wiki page. To see the other attachment ("Enrichment_RFP_09-10_-_Final.doc") that came with the email, you'll need to download it from our wiki.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
My guess is that it is up to us to determine the answers to most if not all of those other questions you raise. But it is fine to email Ly Rivera and Eva Meyers, the two people who sent the email to me.<BR>
