Board accepts donations for school programs, approves consent agenda
Summary
The board accepted equipment and monetary donations to support athletics and after-school enrichment, and approved the consent agenda by unanimous vote.
The Elwood Union Free School District Board of Education accepted several donations and approved the consent agenda at Monday’s meeting.
The board accepted an equipment donation of a Louisville Slugger Blue Dell apparatus (approximate value $1.49) from resident Anthony Klinger Cooley for John Glenn High School and monetary donations from booster clubs: $3,000 from the Elwood Booster Club to support agricultural education at Chung High School and $3,740 from the Elwood Booster Club to support after-school activities at Boyd and Harley schools (breakdowns of activity allocations were presented). The district explained that the booster-club funds pay instructional staff who run enrichment programs and that children pay to participate in some offerings.
On motions offered at the meeting (donation motion moved by Dr. Zvi and seconded by Miss Weiss; consent agenda moved by Mr. Edwards and seconded by Dr. Siddiqui), the board voted unanimously, with results announced as “all in favor, 5–0.”
