Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.

YOu could try going to the school district web site.  ALso, try calling the superintendants office, I believe that they are required to publish them in a report.\n\nTry this http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/achievement/mi/1363

Go to the school board of your county.

If this program is with an official school then the book keeping would be done by the school's bookkeeper or a PTO/PTA treasurer. We have no cheeleaders at elementary schools in the area of VA where I live.

Assuming you are speaking of an elementary or secondary private school your best bet would be to go to http://www.ncacasi.org/ It has all the information you will need, and it is the regional accreditor that covers Michigan. I hope this information helps. It is not an easy process to become accreditated and for good reason. Since it isn't easy I would suggest you review their website and then contact them for personalized assistance. \n\nThe contact info. for their Representative in Michigan is:\n\nDr. Mike Bugenski\nMichigan NCA\n826 Municipal Way\nLansing, MI 48917\nState Office Email Contact: mbugenski@ncamichigan.org\nURL: http://www.nca.umich.edu/\nPhone:866-642-4622\nFax:517-492-1354\n\nGood luck....

1.  Post international comparative student average scores.\n2.  Post a spotlight brief story about a selected student each week with a very attractive photo of the student.  In a school that did this, the selected scholarly student's parents were asked two weeks in advance to write a brief bio about the student to add to the posted story. They called the posting the "Wrangler of the Week" in a Texas school.\n3.  Organize volunteers from your school to assist and judge at elementary schools' spelling bee competitions.  Organize fun spelling bee contests at your school for lunchtime fun.  Make such competitions as open and possible to win for ANY student as possible.\n4. Profile your school's academic competitions by inviting elected local, county and state officials to visit your school during lunchtime to mingle and encourage participation with everyone after they announce upcoming competitions at your school.  You would make all of this as easy for the visitor as possible.\n5. BEG non-competition participants to manage academic events, to do video, write press releases, to be academic clubs' ombudsmen. Appeal to their particular strengths, especially leadership, other than focus on their lesser academic talents.\n6. "Hire" an army of the students in your school who are loners.  Don't appeal to them in a group way.  Approach them by yourself individually in private and don't ask but give them small tasks that could really help you in your job.  Loners want to participate but not in giant ways and not in longterm ways. BUT, those who follow through, don't abandon them.  They would be hurt if you did not have another project for them to do right away after their first. Never approach them with your gaggle of friends along. Later, appeal to your army of right-hands to "hire" one or two other people of their chosing to assume small projects. Let the "chain-of-command" then go through your original army so that they have some autonomy.  Delegate and build an army of supporters.\n7. Volunteer academic groups to assist at other events to support other students.  Seek out as many of these "cross-overs" as possible to breed awareness and networking.\n8. Before competitive academic events, approach non-participants to be "cheerleaders", at least two per each competitor. Every participant, though, needs to be covered.  The cheerleaders responsibilities would be to make a poster supporting their "racehorse".  Use your "hired" army from above to provide support to the cheerleaders in such ways as assign a hired "trooper" to be responsible for getting poster materials most conveniently to the cheerleaders or to surprise them with homemade cookies or such.  Assign one "trooper" to just come up with ideas and means to support all the cheerleaders and give that person newer troopers to manage, so to say.  Do not assign you close friends to activities closest to you. Go out of your way to be fair and fun. Don't spoil it for even one person or the entire scheme spoils and collapses in no confidence with you or your motivations.\n9. Assign someone to write a sales pitch that several people could use to approach parents for money to fund your projects.  But, try to keep parents out of sight and not involved.  They tend to steal the thunder of younger people who are enjoying leadership opportunities.\n10. Establish some kind of "demonstration" event during lunchtime, perhaps, with each academic group in the school manning in full force tables in a long row with flyers (troopers can write them) and small demonstrations, awards, trophies, success stories and upcoming events about their group, like at a convention (attend one to see what I mean).  Provide goodie bags for the student body and have candy and little gifts and such for everyone to get at each table or "booth" as they stroll around checking

Start a ex uni group website. Yahoo has such provisions..if you visit www.groups.yahoo.com you should be able to start one of those and invite them to participate..I find it a fun way to keep intouch and share what's up and even plan things together..that way you won't  feel left out.\n\nAlso try and participate more in school with the pple you want to hang out with..you know. Invite them over to where you live, organise bashes and stuff and maybe even organize a trip that they all can take. One usually doesn't need to do much to feel connected. Visit them often and invite them to visit you..

Do you mean you would like to be the founder of one? Just from experience in my little city..everything they tried here did not work..kids still brought drugs and the places ended up closing down...some ideas are an arcade type place, or maybe an open gym at the high school or something..those ideas have seemed to stick in my city...go to the city council or something and see what they think..if hte kids being in trouble is bad enough for them to care, they may help you with money or advertising...good luck!\n\nIf you were looking for places..you may get some ideas from htere too....good luck!\n\nhttp://www.californiacenter.org/pages/about_programs.htm\nhttp://fourhcyd.ucdavis.edu/\nhttp://www.ccis.com/home/ltravis/\nhttp://www.empowering-youth.org/\nhttp://www.losalyouth.org/

Fungusbrain's Idea will work - or you can go to a nearby school and just ask them.  They will be more than happy to help and they know their zone better than the district office would.

I assume you are in the USA? I am a teacher in Australia and have tried this here: Several methods worked for me, mabe they will for your too.\n\n1 Through Official Channels\nIntroduce yourself to the education authority in the areas you want to do business. Pester their public relations officer for an interview and come equiipped with references to: Substatiate your good character (police clearances etc to prove you are not a criminal.) and references to confirm the value of your product/service to the teachers AND the students (target both here).\nRemember all you are after is the authorities approval - you won't get it but conversely, their failure to stop you approaching teachers, amounts to an endorsement by default. What you are after is being able to approach Principals and say honestly that the Authorities are aware of your actions. (Kind of a default reference)\n    If you are extremely lucky, and sufficiently impress the Education Authority's representative, they can supply you with a list of facilities that fit your market, so be specific what type of schools etc. you want access to.If they don't - don't panic - read on . . . \n\n2. Professional Development\nThis is a totally different marketing strategy - you want access to teachers proffessional development meetings. This will come through the Principal personally and you will address a staff meeting. To win this one you need to use the "Snowball Effect" - you win one Principal over, then after you have addressed that meeting you use that as a reference for approaching the next principal. Now your credibility has increased 100% - repeat the whole process again. After each seminar/meeting, ask the Principal if he would "have any objections if you used him as a reference". The wording there is vital - you want a "Yes" from someone who cant get through the workload they have now - so you don't want them to feel they have to do anything extra, that you'll do the work and all they have to do is say yes.\nAfter a dozen or so successes, the professional grapevine will market your seminars if they truely are value for money.\n\nHere teachers have a Gazette that is used to advertise vacancies. This tells you the school, address, Principals name and phone number - for you it could be a goldmine if you can get one (hint - even an old one that the staff at a school doesn't value any more :-)
