Veronica presented the Noah Wallace Fund committee’s recommendations and said the fund had approximately $40,000–$45,000 available to allocate. The committee awarded $44,694.53 to seven projects submitted by teachers and staff.
Veronica said two grants will fund play‑and game‑based learning resources to support math and literacy engagement, two grants will purchase specialized equipment for the district’s Specialized Learning Center classrooms, one grant will support a school store at Westwoods to build transition and real‑life skills, and two grants will fund interactive art projects including an interactive wall. The three proposals that were not funded will be considered for alternate grant support, Veronica said, and several of those were focused on ELL students.
The board voted to approve the committee’s allocations and Veronica said teachers would receive formal letters of congratulations and next‑step guidance for project implementation.
