Kenosha Unified to seek $2.68 million Head Start continuation grant to serve 330 children
Summary
District staff told trustees the annual Head Start continuation grant application would request $2,681,000.87 for the 2025–26 year and add a half‑day classroom at Bose; board discussion was procedural and no formal action was recorded.
Kenosha Unified school district staff said the district will submit its annual Head Start continuation grant application for the 2025–26 school year, seeking $2,681,000.87 to serve about 330 students.
The grant request “would be very similar to grants that we have submitted every year,” a district staff member said. The staff member added the application would include “an additional half day classroom at Bose.”
The district did not present a formal vote during the agenda-review portion of the special meeting. Staff framed the request as a routine continuation application; no further budget or program details were offered for the record beyond the overall dollar amount and the classroom addition.
District materials provided at the meeting identified Head Start continuation funding as separate from the other budget items discussed later in the session. Staff said they expect to file the standard application but did not specify application deadlines, a contract term, or other grant conditions during the discussion.
Officials said they would provide more detail if and when the grant application is submitted and acted on. For now, the Head Start continuation grant remains a staff recommendation and an item for the board’s regular meeting agenda rather than a finalized contract or appropriation.
