Year Round Charter Schooling in this article, is used as an "argo-urban" school. Where students would be able to get their hands dirty and tend the farm and make their own meals from what they grow. The eight week fundraiser brought in $720,000 from donors in favor of this school. The students would come from the surrounding districts and students outside the area will be able to pay for a field trip to the school. Things are already in action toward starting the building of the school while waiting for the school districts approval. The school is looking to open up "culturally relavant" teaching by closing a gap through minorities and the understanding from teachers to students lives. Residence are hoping that the school will open in 2011 but even if the school does not come reality, the farming will still take place.
