I have decided to buy the kiln under my name, and use the grant money to rent it (from me) till the end of the school year, then let the school keep it. I just found out that the school budget won't buy it this year, but they will have it in the budget for next year. How do they think I can run a ceramics program without a kiln??? Oh well, I can apply for the grant again next year as well, and maybe rent some wheels?? ;-)
In the mean time, I plan on ordering an L&L "Liberty Bell" model for myself... and I may need to use it for the classroom till I can get the Skutt 1028 shipped in. I can see days of straight firings to cone 06....

Yippee!!
I walked into the office today and the principal came over and shook my hand and said "Congratulations! I have a friend on the grant board, and he told me that you got all that you asked for!" So I'm like totally jazzed the rest of the day! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get a kiln on the "rent-to-own" plan. The grant won't allow me to buy one, but will allow me to rent.... hmmmm. Thoughts?
