The board received notice that two outside organizations will soon deliver in‑kind donations to the district.
Doctor Harvey (presenter) said Save the Children anticipates providing an estimated $44,293 worth of books, toys and clothing, and that My Stuff Bags Foundation plans to send 500 duffel bags filled with basic belongings for homeless, youth and at‑risk students, with an estimated value of $42,500. The presenter said shipments should arrive within one to three weeks.
Board members expressed appreciation and asked staff to coordinate distribution logistics and to acknowledge the donors publicly.
Why it matters: In‑kind donations of books, clothing and personal‑care kits can immediately support students facing material hardship and complement school‑level outreach and attendance interventions.
