Below is an email discussion I have had with Tom Krajci. It is posted with his permission. He is interested in providing tutoring in the math/science area. As I have said before, there are a lot of local resources that our schools could be tapping into, but no one seems to know how to take advantage of them! If any of you have suggestions, how about letting Tom or me know.

Hi Tom,
There is definitely a need for tutoring in upper level math. I don't know of any formal tutoring list, however, I do know that Debbie Rabon tutored some kids to help them do better on the ACT and it was somehow done at the school during class time. I think that's something that you would need to work out with Roman. Debbie only had a few kids that showed up, but I think she made a big difference to those few kids.
That's just my observation. I'd be glad to post something on the blog. It would be most productive if you first had something worked out with the school so there could be definite times, topics, etc.
Tom's reply today:
Two weeks ago I called the high school and left a message on Debbie Dalton's machine...offering tutoring help as a volunteer in math/science...asking that she please spread the word far and wide.
Nothing happened.
Last week I spoke with Roman Renteria and told him I was a volunteer tutor, flexible as to time, location, group size, topic, etc. Roman sounded happy to hear what I had to say.
Nothing happened.
I have wasted two weeks by attempting things through official channels. Lesson learned for me.
Please tell me of students that need help. Or tell students about me. Or tell parents of students about me. Or get me plugged into the local parents/student network.
