How do we get started with the program?

Talk to your principal and/or superintendent.

Does our school need a resolution with the Board of Education?

Maybe...

We recommend you contact your superintendent to discuss what your school district requires. While all schools have different procedures and protocols, we do offer a sample resolution below.
