May 12, 2008 - Motion Re: San Pedro High School Doc Rocs program

A motion was made that the NWSPNC allocate $7,500.00 as a one-time sponsorship of the San Pedro High School Docs Rock program.  The Artist in Residence program was previously sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Dept., but its support is withdrawn due to budget cuts.  The instructor must have a total commitment of  $10,000.00 by June 1 in order to have clearance for the Artist in Residence portion of instruction on the fall SPHS schedule.  The Docs Rock program is in its tenth year and offers students an instructional entrée into film production, including consultation from an Artist in Residence and other professionals who make presentations to the class.  The film class will produce a two-minute public service announcement during the Fall 2008 term which can be submitted by the NWSPNC to local cable-access channels for purposes of community outreach. (1 abstention) 11 yes, 0 no. Motion passed.
