Board accepts $10,000 Brookfield donation to support green‑energy student program
Summary
Administrators said Brookfield donated $10,000 to the district to support a green‑energy class and vendor participation after earlier funding arrangements changed.
District staff told the board on March 5 that Brookfield has donated $10,000 to support a green‑energy program for students after an earlier plan to route funds through a third party could not be completed.
The presentation said Capital Region (an intermediary referenced in the discussion) had arrangements with a vendor and Brookfield to provide program funding, but the funding transfer could not be completed in the fall and the vendor was already committed. Brookfield therefore donated directly to the district to allow the program to proceed, administrators said.
Superintendent O'Shea and administrators thanked Brookfield for the contribution and noted the money had already been spent to support the vendor and the green‑energy initiative. The board recorded the donation in meeting materials; no separate formal vote on the donation was recorded outside the consent agenda that followed.
