a little about RAD home school

RAD home school has been in existence since 2019 when I started to home school Robin, when Titan and Talon started to live with us, I also took them out of school and started to home school them also.

We need a continued presence out at Gravel and the Student/youth can provide that and learn to look after the facility, while looking after all the chores needed to keep it running and they can work or establish their own businesses there with RADs assistance.

there is no funding available for home schooling, federally, provincially or tribally and so we need to pay the shot for our kids education, but i would not have it any other way after doing it for so many years.

I am thankful that the band has chosen us to run the facility

tutors, and daily activities, computers, supplys, home schooling isnt cheap    

the best teacher is experience


arts and craft shop
Under consideration

I would like to have the craft shop a completely local native crafts, art and will be looking into a consignment arrangement or as it is financially out of the boyz range right now to deal with the arts and craft.

i would like the students to run the craft shop in there, but that would have to be a student driven initiative, at the moment the space is available


 

 


 

RAD Community Garden Training center

raising chickens and rabbit for food

A more detailed plan of this will be forth coming, but these are survival skills we need to teach the kids, gardening and such as canning, fermenting, butchering, and raising chickens and rabbits as a survival skill for the community or individual

We will have to change the nature of the business at Gravel a little

the land is in a good area for multiple purposes. Traffic flies by and we need to slow it down a bit.

the pays plat band must considers that this is reserve land and will be included in the signing of the 1850 treaty as an addendum or through our land process, its 10 acres that we must control for the economic needs of the band.
 

I have looked at the condition of all buildings, plumbing, electrical and found them to be in decent shape with little repair , well alot  some renovations needed but suffered some damage from being shut down last year for the first time in its history and should not shut down this year.

a complete analysis for the years left to this business, we should look at building a new facility in the near future.
 

 

We will be selling Cigarettes, Liquor and vape soon

 
 

RAD

believes that we need to develop Skills early because the best teacher is experience

we need to develop the businesses that will require local skilled members to run them in order that our youth can live and work locally, if we do not create the jobs needed for them they will have to leave home to work, are we replacing ready to retire people with other band members or are we going to have members of other bands replacing them.

We need to use the arena for business development this proposal is to demonstrate some of the possibilities
