Board approves $6,000 donation for fifth‑grade trip
Summary
The Hendrick Hudson Board of Education approved a $6,000 donation from the fifth‑grade committee to support the district’s fifth‑grade trip. The board recorded a motion and second and approved the donation by voice vote; destination details in the transcript are not specified.
The Hendrick Hudson Board of Education voted to accept a $6,000 donation from the district fifth‑grade committee to support the annual fifth‑grade trip. The donation was presented and the board member’s motion to approve the donation was seconded; the board voted by voice to accept the donation during the March 5 meeting.
A board member thanked the fifth‑grade committee for supporting the program and described the trip as a long‑standing district tradition that blends science, nature and independence. The transcript identifies the donation amount and the donor group (the fifth‑grade committee) but does not provide an authoritative, final destination name in clear, verified spelling; the donation was described as supporting the fifth‑grade trip.
Why it matters: board acceptance of third‑party donations must be recorded in minutes and added to district financial records. The donation is intended to lower the out‑of‑pocket cost for participating families and to underwrite trip programming.
Next steps: the district will process the donation in accordance with fiscal procedures and allocate funds to the fifth‑grade trip account.
