School committee formally accepts several grants including $560,000 from Barr Foundation
Summary
On the consent agenda the committee acknowledged and formally accepted multiple FY24 grants and donations, including a $560,000 Barr Foundation grant and a $268,255.26 Brookline Center grant to support Promise High School and school-based bridge programs.
The Brockton School Committee on May 6 formally accepted a slate of grants and donations that the superintendent said had already been received but not previously accepted by the committee.
Committee Member Azak asked that the consent agenda pull and acknowledge several large FY24 awards. The superintendent confirmed that the FY24 donations had been received earlier but were being formally accepted at this meeting to “clean up things from the past.” Among the grants accepted were a Barr Foundation grant for $560,000 supporting Promise High School and the district’s student‑centered, future‑ready education models, and a Brookline Center “school‑based bridge programs” grant for $268,255.26. Other items listed on the consent agenda included smaller grants and donations such as a Music Drives Foundation instruments grant of $3,500 and a Senator Charles E. Shannon community safety initiative grant for $21,200.
The consent agenda, with Azak’s requested removals and acknowledgements, was approved by voice/show of hands and accepted unanimously.
