Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it aligns <br />with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange County <br />BOCC Goals and Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the program. (250 <br />words or less) <br />The Orange County Historical Museum: Education Through Exhibits aligns with the <br />Orange County BOCC goal “Ensure a high quality of life and lifelong learning that <br />champions diversity, education at all levels, libraries, parks, recreation, and animal <br />welfare.” The Museum will design and present free exhibits to engage and educate the <br />public about the dynamic history of Orange County. Programs, events, tours, and a variety <br />of educational offerings will provide further learning opportunities for the public, through <br />which the museum will strive to promote diversity and life-long learning. Museum staff <br />works with various members of the community and community groups to determine what <br />content should be presented and how in order to promote shared authority in the museum. <br />A variety of programs are held that appeal to different audiences, in the hopes that the <br />Museum can reach as many members of the community as possible. The Museum will also <br />facilitate educational outreach in the county by working with Orange County Schools and <br />other school systems, including home school groups to plan field trips and site visits. <br />Museum staff have met with the superintendant of Orange County Schools and the <br />chairman of the School Board to discuss how the Museum can partner with schools. A <br />follow-up meeting has been scheduled. Moreover, the museum would like to contract <br />individuals to facilitate educational programs for children. For example, we would like to <br />contract with Haliwa Saponi artist Senora Lynch who works with children pre-K-12 to make <br />pottery and murals. <br />11.
