From; Rick Kocinski / Video Teclmician <br />North Metro Media Center <br />Date: 2/6/03 <br />Re: Camcorders <br /> <br />Teresa: <br /> <br />I understand that the city of Centerville has had 2 camcorders for some time now <br />that you do not plan on using any longer. <br /> <br />Over the past several years my son had attended Calvin Christian School in Blame. <br />He is now attending Spring Lake Park High School. Calvin is a small religious <br />based schoolt grades K through 8 and is totally fimded by the families of its <br />students and various fund raisers. Tuition is based on a minimum fee and a <br />family's ability to pay. <br /> <br />Since funding for educational aids is tight, higher tech items such as camcorders <br />for student use in media courses etc't is limited to the families that own <br />camcorders. In the case ofCalvinls~ families, which are primarily composed of <br />"blue collar" working familiest this makes the number of households that o~ <br />camcorders vel)' small and not available for general student use. <br /> <br />W orldng in the video field I see the value that access to such equipment can have <br />in both academic achievement and involvement in civic activities. <br /> <br />I would like to ask the city of Centerville if they would consider donating the 2 <br />camcorders to my son's fomler school. <br /> <br />Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss <br />this further. <br /> <br />~YOUI,/\ .. n <br />;f~)K~I~ <br /> <br />Richard Kocinski I Video Technician <br />North Metro Media Center <br />1630-10lst.
