Learning Never Ends- Neither do Dreams

As some of you may know, we (Jessamine and I) attempted to open the Rainbow Farm School in the Fall of 2009. While the school is not officially in session, the dream has not died. Our dream of an alternative school for children is alive and well and in process, as I type.
The current plan involves creating a clear vision, mission statement, curriculum, and business plan. A Starting Small Project is part and parcel with the school as one of the main tenants will be "creating tools for building awareness and acceptance" within ourselves and the community in which we live.
At this juncture, the goal would be to open in the Fall of 2011 as a Homeschool and Community Resource Center. The Center would provide classes for families interested in homeschooling, helping families with the paperwork needed to become homeschoolers and classes based on topics of interest.
I know there has been some interest in extending the age range, as we were focused on K-6th before, and with this transition we would extend through high school.

To meet these very big, but very important goals, I will need input. In the coming months, I will survey the Chautauqua County community asking for input and ideas. I am also taking advantage of a very important resource, AERO, Alternative Education Resource Organization. They have been helping provide resources, support and information as to how the start and run an alternative school.
