Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
By providing scholarships and transportation, we will maintain or grow our enrollment of singers who face financial or logistical barriers to being involved in our high quality choral program, and continue to expand local participation in the arts. Well-maintained registration records will provide the data needed to compare year-to-year enrollment and bus ridership. The records we keep of scholarship applications will allow us to track financial needs within Northfield Youth Choirs and our response to those needs.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Participation and utilization of our afterschool busing and scholarship program was consistent with expectations. We're looking forward to continued outreach and growth.
