Ms. Schuman, a board member, highlighted agenda items 12.05 and 12.06 and said some federal funds that had been delayed are coming back to the district. She also commended Kathy Severson and her staff for preparing to restart adult education and family literacy classes this week.

Why it matters: federal funding affects the district’s ability to operate adult-education and family-literacy programs; staff readiness suggests classes will begin promptly.

Discussion and details: Schuman praised Severson for being "ready to hit the ground running" and returning programs to service. The superintendent earlier mentioned Severson in connection with other district initiatives. No dollar amounts, grant identifiers, or formal acceptance of federal funds were provided during the meeting.

Board action: there was no separate vote recorded on the items during the discussion; routine business and financial reports were approved elsewhere on the agenda.

Next steps: program staff will proceed with class start-up; finance staff will process arriving federal funds as required by district procedures.
