District announces $40,000 YouthWorks grant; committee accepts $100 donation from Lowell General Hospital
Summary
School leaders told the committee that a YouthWorks grant will fund an adult certified nursing assistant program in partnership with local workforce services, and the committee unanimously accepted a $100 donation from Lowell General Hospital to support health and medical assistant students.
At the February meeting, the superintendent reported that a YouthWorks grant of $40,000 will support a partnership to offer an adult certified nursing assistant (CNA) program. The superintendent described the award as a YouthWorks grant through the local workforce career center and said the funds would be set aside to support the CNA program in partnership with the district.
The superintendent also asked the committee to accept a $100 donation from staff at Lowell General Hospital to assist students in the health and medical assistant programs. The superintendent said the funds would be used to help students purchase uniforms, supplies and pay testing fees for CNA and certified medical assistant (CMA) certifications. A motion to accept the donation was made and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: the YouthWorks grant and the Lowell General donation provide funds to expand adult training and to reduce certification costs for students pursuing health care credentials.
Ending: The committee approved accepting the donation and thanked Lowell General Hospital staff for the contribution; staff will proceed with program coordination and fundraising updates as appropriate.
