Other people or organizations do not rely on my community partner to provide any type of funds. The tutorial program provides a service to the members of the community. Since it was established solely with Bel Air in mind, it's existence relies heavily on the school. The school however, is not in control of its own money. Each year, a school district allocates its funds to the schools that are within its jurisdiction. Individual schools can request a larger budget for any given specificity.
Part of the tutoring session consists of exercises that are completed on the computer and of quizzes that are administered through a website. The tutorial program uses Bel Air's laptops and internet when tutoring the children. The tutoring revolves around helping the children complete the given exercises and passing the quizzes, which would not be possible if the school did not have the funds to supply each student with a laptop and internet access during the tutoring sessions.With that said, you can consider my community partner to be dependent on funds, especially because the tutorial program will only stay active if Bel Air stays open. However, based on the University's continual efforts in giving back to the community, I can imagine that even if the school didn't have the funds to support the tutorial program specifically, there are people here that would make sure that Bel Air is receiving the assistance that it needs.
