The proposal went out on 4-30-09. See it here:
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Sfusd_excel_program

Their calendar says that on 6-1 to 6-5 "ExCEL ASP District Coordinator
notifies organizations of intent to partner with the organization for the
2009-2010 school year"


Michael, do you agree that it would be good if we called them this week
saying, "Just checking in on our application... oh and by the way, we can
probably have a fun Python computer programming class lined up for the
fall."

I figured I'd chime in since I'm teaching the Python class.  I'm happy to
take on extra students, though this is the first I've heard of the ExCEL
proposal (I'm new to the noisebridge-discuss list).  What else, if anything,
would I be on the hook for to make the Python class part of the ExCEL
program?  e.g. would I need to start writing formal lesson plans or some
such?

P.S. Maybe this is all moot since, if I read correctly, the proposal  
was sent out yesterday.
