Some details within the principles (such as Ground Rules) vary for the different program Space Census (FCC, CDC, SA/MS/T). The CYS Coordinator must ensure the principles linked to the Ground Rules for each program are understood and followed.

Coordinator’s Role in Relation to Space Census Ground Rules

Often, issues related to these ground rules end up in the CYS Coordinator’s office. Have you ever had to deal with an angry parent who doesn’t understand why 3 and 4 year old children are in the same room? You feel like you have hit an asteroid belt!

As coordinator, you need to guide your program directors to have appropriate responses for issues related to these ground rules, and you need to be well versed in them yourself to respond as needed to issues that reach your office.
