193 <br /> <br />A full-time Program Coordinator will oversee the entire operation of the project and will <br />have the supervision and support of a Recreation Supervisor and a Senior Recreation <br />Supervisor, both with extensive knowledge, expertise, and experience in developing, <br />implementing, and evaluating grant funded programs. <br /> <br />Changes in staffing patterns during the first grant year were made in response to the level of <br />participation for each program component and changes made to address problems and other <br />issues that arose during program implementation. An example of this is the increase in staff <br />for the Community Educaiton and Mobilization which originally had only one staff person. <br />Additional staff were needed for this program component because of the high level of follow- <br />up phone calls needed to get residents to participate. <br /> <br />Additionally, the tutors at Willard Intermediate were hired as part-time employees rather than <br />contracted out. This decision was made based on the recommendation from the school <br />personnel who had strong ties with the local community college and who had several <br />prospective tutors available who would operate more effectively as employees. <br /> <br />Another change during the first year was the inavailability of the Beyond Limits program due <br />to other comittments that arose for them. Professional speakers were utilized to conduct the <br />educational workshops for the Tutoring and Transitions program as an alternative. This <br />change worked out to be an advantage not only because of budget savings but also because <br />several professionals who have established an excellent record in the community as speakers <br />were contracted to provide the service. <br /> <br />In addition to the staff, all equipment and supplies have been identified based on the actual <br />needs from the first year and projections for the second year based on the goals and <br />anticipated levels of participation. The project has the expertise of the Senior Recreation <br />Supervisor who has over 20 years of experience in planning budgets for prevention programs. <br /> <br /> <br />
