The local board will not set these policies, and Highline Academy may specify teacher-pupil contact hours that differ from other schools in the district.

The total number of teacher-pupil contact hours will meet or exceed the expectations in state statute.
Expected Outcome. A plan for the dissemination and exploitation of results will be updated regularly and completed at the end of the project. As additional action for dissemination, there will be a report on completed and planned communication actions. Both plan and report will be inserted in periodic and final reports. Dissemination on access opportunities are supported by infrastructures through special web pages and advertisements during conferences. FISCO2 will supervise these dissemination actions. To disseminate and promote the knowledge derived from the various activities of ENSAR2 within and beyond the consortium, a special website, where all the scientific periodic reports will be published, will be established and updated. This website will also be used for the internal communication. Two workshops, one 30 month after the start of the contract and one at its end, will be organised for the community at large in the format of "Town Meetings". In order to optimise the meeting budget and ensure a large attendance to scientific events, FISCO2 will encourage the ENSAR2 work package teams to organise their own meetings and workshops jointly with the Town Meetings. On the basis of a consortium agreement between all participants, questions arising from the assignment of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) will be settled. The activity reports planned as milestones include the minutes of PCC (Project Coordination Committee), FCG (Facility Coordination Group) and GA (General Assembly) meetings and the update of the plan for dissemination of results.
