The Sparta Area School District board accepted multiple donations and grants, including a large, no-strings gift of 592 $100 Rose Jewelers gift cards to district employees.
District staff said the cards are intended for employees “on our payroll” and can be used at the recipient’s discretion; the presenter said the district will distribute them pending board approval. The donation totals $59,200 if each $100 card is counted.
Sam Cantelon presented the item and asked the board for approval. The motion to accept the donation was made by Miss Lopez and seconded by Mister Gonkey; the board approved the donations by roll call, 5-0 with two members absent.
At the meeting staff also recognized additional donations to district programs and staff from Culver Esparza, First Community Credit Union, Old High Point PTO, JD Riley Construction, Barbara Middleton, and Lucifornia Golf Course.
Board members did not attach conditions to the gift-card acceptance; district staff said they will prepare any administrative paperwork needed for distribution.
