A specific format for this project is not yet posted.  The general assignment, however, is that we will conduct an analysis of the Texarkana, AR Weed & Seed specific to its association with area Safe Havens.  We will be taking a tour of these four Safe Havens and the Seedtech Lab during class time on Monday, 9 FEB. 

Prior to our tour, you are expected to become familiar with the U.S. Department of Justice Operation Weed & Seed program and with the Texarkana, AR Weed & Seed strategy.  Materials that are distributed in class in association with the local Weed & Seed should be treated as confidential -- they are not to be shared with anyone outside of our class. 

Useful information includes:

• US Department of Justice Executive Office for Weed & Seed
• Publications
  • Operation Weed and Seed Fact Sheet
  • Weed and Seed Strategy
  • Implementation Manual
  • Evaluating a Weed and Seed Strategy
• T-BON data
• Texarkana Hosts Its First DEFY Phase I, Kenya Buffington, Weed & Seed In-Sites, 8(4), pp. 10-11.

For this project, you may work in teams of your own choosing with no more than six members per team.  All members of a team will receive the same grade.  The deliverables will be a written report and a presentation from each team.
