Needs:
In the ever tightening budget even basic items are needed. Tools, materials, etc too numerous to list here for the classes we teach. I have listed in my wishlist the electronic needs including camera, interactive devices to quiz and poll students and a document camera to display parts, tools, photos for student presentation and demonstration.

All students have the right to learn and achieve, and no one has the right to interfere with that.
