I have tried to get into two of our local high schools in my area for NCPARS in the past. I found it difficult because the people at the top are not too interested. They are dealing with much bigger issues. When you go from the teacher level, they do not have the authority. You have to get to the right people. That is the biggest part of the battle in this. You may have better luck at the junior high level.
When you do get in somewhere, we should contact the manufacturers to try to get a tank and equipment donated. They will want the advertising from it for their company! If they will not donate the tank, they will sell it at a deep discount. We need to promote and explain that doing this will expand the hobby by giving children the information, knowledge, and desire to get into reefing. This means more $ for the manufacturer down the road by growing the hobby.
Let me know if you need some help with that end of it once you need equipment.
