Whether you are looking to reduce injuries, save time, or expand collections -- selecting the right equipment for your needs is key. Yet, how do schools do this on a tight or non-existent budget? Many schools begin with hand-me-down everything. Some have moved beyond that.  By using real schools and real examples, the speakers address the questions that program coordinators ask when trying to move their programs to the next level.

The 2010-11 CURC webinar series presents a free technical case study and best practice presentation every other month. The series is made possible through the generous support of the Alcoa Foundation and Keep America Beautiful.
