Review of brainstorming activities to determine possible costs

to undertake to improve tolerance, respect and diversity. 
The activities broke down into the following categories: 
Programming and speakers, Materials, Grant writer – staffing or stipend, Activities, Training, Curriculum, 
and Exchange Exercises

outcome of that review and finalize the numbers.  This information will then be presented to the School
