The Walla River School District Board accepted a $3,000 donation from Dale and Julie Burkhart to support FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) students' attendance at a national conference; the board agreed to recognize the donors publicly and directed staff to send a thank‑you.
The Walla River School District Board of Education accepted a $3,000 donation from Dale and Julie Burkhart at the July 10 meeting to support FBLA student participation in a national conference. The superintendent noted the donation previously helped a high school FBLA team when middle‑school fundraising was insufficient and said the board should publicly acknowledge such gifts.
A board member moved and seconded acceptance of the gift, and the motion carried by voice/raised‑hand vote. During discussion administrators said gifts over $2,000 will be brought to the board for formal acceptance and recognition going forward. The board directed staff to prepare an appropriate thank‑you to the Burkhart family.
The motion to accept the donation was approved without recorded opposition.
