ON VI. Project Continuation Plans After assessment and evaluation of the first year, we would begin planning for year two, assuming sufficient funding. We would begin to -plan for training the next sixth grade, as we would plan to do also in year three, so that in three years the entire school would be trained. It is our hope that a conflict resolution /peer mediation program will be institutionalized at Phillips Middle School, and eventually school system -wide. For continuation, we would also look to the continued use of the capability of the Dispute Settlement Center, and to the community support of the ad hoc Task Force on Con- flict- Re -so- lut- .on- in -t -he -Schools -..- --- Thi -s - -is -a - -- group - -- convened- - -by the Orange County Commission for women, which was formed as a result of a county -wide meeting to prioritize needs. On the Task Force 'are representatives from both the Orange County Health Department and the Dispute Settlement Center. Also, with sufficient success at Phillips, school administrators will encourage administrators at other schools to incorporate conflict resolution skills - building into the curriculum. Sources of support could include the Chapel Hill /Carrboro School Board, Chapel Hill PTAs, Orange County Education Foundation, and local donors. VII.
