Coachella Valley Unified has two partnerships -- one in hospitality and one in Allied Health. Palm Springs Unified has a business academy. The Administrators would like to have the College to be as cooperative as possible so their students can go on to higher skill areas at the College and to have articulation agreements drawn up with those skill areas. Remedial education was also a prime subject and they feel that they are ready to talk to the College on academics, like MathIScience so students will be more ready to come to our College without having to take remedial English and Math, etc. Dr. Sandler stated that he has been very active in the Rancho Mirage Children's Discovery Museum which has recently moved (temporarily) to the Palm Desert Mall. He has been contributing time there by demonstrating different aspects of Physics. They are trying to recruit retirees to give of their time to the Museum.
