Lincoln County Schools wins $55,000 grant to staff summer school at Hamlin and West Hamlin
Summary
District staff said a $55,000 grant from the Greater Canal Valley Foundation will pay staffing costs for summer school programs at Hamlin and West Hamlin; attendance open to Lincoln County Schools students with no set enrollment cap recorded.
Lincoln County Schools officials announced that the district received a $55,000 grant from the Greater Canal Valley Foundation to staff summer school programs at Hamlin and West Hamlin.
"We applied for a grant about 3 months ago from the Greater Canal Valley Foundation for summer school programs at Hamlin and West Hamlin. We got it approved a couple weeks ago for $55,000," said Gaines (identified in the meeting as the staff member presenting the grant). Gaines told the board the funds "will pay for just strictly staffing at West Hamlin and Hamlin. So we're good to go for summer school at West Hamlin and Hamlin this year."
When asked about eligibility, Gaines said, "Any kids from Lincoln County Schools can attend. There's no set number, as many as we can get." The board chair congratulated Gaines and staff members including Barnett for securing the funding.
The grant was described in the meeting as covering staffing only; no other budget breakdowns (such as per-student amounts or total program costs) were provided in the record. Board members did not request further financial details during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
Board members present during the announcement included Mosteller, Burns (by phone), Wilson, Cartwright and Bell.
