A new elementary school will be opening within a 5-minute walk of our
science center. We are interested in formalizing a relationship with
the school.

I am wondering what sorts of models already exist for science
center-school partnerships? How can we design the partnership so that
it's a win-win situation for all involved? What funding opportunities
are out there to sustain the partnership?

Any ideas or contact would be greatly appreciated.
