Also, several of the schools used grant money. Poway was using money from the drug-free grants, tobacco free grants, and other grants, for example, to fund their student center. Laurie,

I would love to have more electives offered at Westlake. Did they say how these are funded? Do they face the same challenges we do with state funding? It was also interesting to know that the state does not have a minimum number of credits for graduation. I want to learn more about this system.
