Board accepts $15,000 Childrens Home Society donation for Lake Worth High tutoring
Summary
The board unanimously approved a $15,000 donation from the Childrens Home Society of Florida to fund after-school and summer tutoring at Lake Worth High School.
Superintendent Michael J. Burke recommended that the board approve a $15,000 donation from the Children's Home Society of Florida to Lake Worth High School for after-school and summer tutoring programs.
"I recommend the board approve the $15,000 donation from the Children Home Society of Florida to Lake Worth High School to be used for after school and summer tutoring," Burke said.
Board Member Erica Whitfield made the motion and Board Member Gloria Branch seconded it. The motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The donation is earmarked for targeted tutoring at Lake Worth High School and was moved from the consent agenda to be presented during board recognitions. After the vote, the board invited representatives from the Childrens Home Society to the front for a photograph and public acknowledgement.
Next steps: Communications staff will coordinate the planned photo and presentation with the donating organization and Lake Worth High School.
