The New Castle Community School Board of Trustees voted 4-0 on July 14 to approve the districts McKinney-Vento/Foster Care District Plan.
Secretary Jaci Hadsell moved to approve the plan and Member Josh Estelle seconded; the motion carried 4-0. The minutes record the approval but do not include the plan text, implementation schedule or funding sources.
Why it matters: a McKinney-Vento plan outlines how a district will identify and support students experiencing homelessness and those in foster care; board approval is a required local step for districts to implement related supports and federal compliance activities.
Details: the minutes do not identify a presenter for the item or provide specifics such as program staffing, budget implications or referral procedures. Those details were not specified in the public record of the meeting and are not reported here.
The board proceeded to other agenda items after the approval.
