This is fantastic Derek! I love that you used my schools website to illustrate...gives a great visual!

"Proxy voting will be easily integrated in the future on Steemit and I feel many would be interested in delegating some of their Steem Power towards this project.

In order to help start it off, I will delegate a significant portion of my Steem Power to them, once the time comes. The school will be allowed to keep the curation rewards, in order to help them accumulate their own Steem Power. Over time, I hope to withdraw my delegated steem power, only because the project is such an overwhelming success and no longer needs it."

This is key, and really well thought out, in particular with the education dept.... they won't need to worry about "risk associated with investment then"

I'll try and get things up and running asap :)
