Tiffany Reynolds, Bullitt County Public Schools’ McKinney‑Vento homeless education liaison, told the board Oct. 20 that the district serves about 450 students annually under the McKinney‑Vento program and that a donation will support that work.
Reynolds introduced representatives from GPD Group who announced a $20,000 donation to the district’s McKinney‑Vento program. Jimmy Stall of GPD Group said the firm committed roughly 1% of its contract value to community benefits tied to the Louisville MSD project it is designing, and that after reviewing local needs the firm chose to donate the funds to Bullitt County’s McKinney‑Vento program. Stall also mentioned the GPD Foundation as an additional resource for community groups.
Reynolds said the district relies on donations and grants in addition to district dollars to run a portion of the McKinney‑Vento work and introduced Jimmy Stall and Marilyn Coffey of GPD Group for the presentation. There was no board vote attached to the donation presentation; the donation was recognized during the meeting and the district accepted the gift.
