Board places STEM enrichment, Kinder Camp and tech camp approvals on agenda; Title I and Title IV funds cited
Summary
District staff requested board approval to run a 2‑day STEM enrichment camp (approx. $20,000, Title IV), Kinder Camp (approx. $10,000, Title I) and a CASD tech camp for teachers (Title IV). All three items were placed on the agenda by unanimous consent with no objections recorded.
District staff told the Connellsville Area School District Board that the federal-programs committee planned to seek approval for three summer and professional-development initiatives and that funding would come from federal Title programs.
Mr. Harshman, the federal-programs committee presenter, requested board approval to hold a two‑day STEM enrichment camp for students at multiple elementary schools and at Connellsville Area Middle and High schools at an "approximate cost of $20,000 to be paid for by the Title IV funds," contingent on staff availability. He also requested approval for Kinder Camp for incoming kindergarten students to be held at each elementary building in August at an "approximate cost of $10,000 with cost paid from Title I funds." Finally, he asked the board to place a CASD tech camp for teacher professional development (introductory and advanced training) on the agenda; that camp was described as paid for by Title IV funds.
All three items were recorded as "placed on the agenda" after the presenter said there were no questions or objections. The transcript does not record further budget detail, enrollment caps, or specific dates for the STEM or CASD tech camps; staff noted dates and times are "to be determined."
