This is important to clarify.  The Aurora Learning Community Association
is a unique 501c3 in its own right similar to ISTE.  Although the Aurora
Project is a TICG project with Fairview Public Schools as the LEA, ALCA is
a separate entity involving numerous public schools, universities, other
TICG and PT3 projects, agencies, and societies.  The ALCA staff that would
be working with comprehensives and targeted grants would be coming from
existing partners or members of ALCA.  This includes professors,
scientists, curriculum writers, evaluators, and K-12 educators.  ALCA
provides turnkey solutions for very robust, object-oriented, online
solutions for collaboration and eLearning.  
Fairview Public Schools is just one of many partners in ALCA.

On a similar note.  If any projects are needing schools districts, we have
MANY school districts we can bring in who would be quite interested in
participating.  They already have experience with ALCA and are working as
a team.  If you like working with collaborative teams, we have one
(actually several)!
