Marine Biology Program

    Superintendent Wells will discuss and propose creating a Marine Biology Program.  The course follows the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) Scuba Diver requirements.  With completion students will obtain a lifetime NAUI Scuba Diver certification.  The course has five elements:

1.  Classroom learning

2.  Pool skills training

3.  Open water certification

4.  Marine Biology

5.  Underwater Photography

The course would be for one quarter on Saturdays for 7 hours.  The Marine Biology Program is a "hook" program and will consist of some students who may not be successful in our current educational model.  The program would be offered to students at no charge.
