Board clarifies Preschool Learn Time amendment: sublease and Bloomfield Ave move funded by grant, not general fund
Loading...
Summary
The board approved an amendment allowing Preschool Learn Time to operate at a new Bloomfield Avenue facility under a sublease; officials said the program is grant‑funded and does not draw on the district's general budget.
At the public meeting the board addressed questions about a preschool grant amendment that authorizes Preschool Learn Time to operate at a new Bloomfield Avenue location and approves a related sublease.
A member of the public asked whether the preschool expansion and the grant amendment rely on district operating funds. District staff responded that Preschool Learn Time is a partner in the preschool program and that the amendment changes allocations from district‑run classes to provider classes at the St. Paul's location and new Bloomfield Avenue facility. The district stated explicitly that the amendment is funded through grant dollars and not from the district's general fund.
Board members said they will consider ways to better publicize that grant funds — not regular operating revenue — support the new preschool facility in order to reduce public confusion. The administration included the preschool grant amendment and sublease among the administration resolutions (items 1–5), which were moved and approved by roll call during the meeting.
