A Few Helpful Notes
* Each project must be five days per week and at least six hours per
day
* Seniors may (and are encouraged to) do multiple projects
* No pay, wages, or salaries may be accepted for work performed while on project
* Students may not work with parents or immediate relatives
* Students may do projects out of the Toledo area (additional requirements)
* Students are to establish their own contacts and arrangements
* Students should be responsible for their own fines (without parental help)
* A few restrictions on projects: trade areas (union difficulties); any highly
recreational project
(a comparative analysis of the sands found in Acapulco, the Bahamas, and Aruba);
and an
obvious attempt to gain summer or part-time employment (working free for three
weeks in
exchange for a job during the summer)
* Successful completion of Senior Project is a requirement for all seniors
