Summary
District staff told the finance committee that a state Career and Technical Education Enhancement Grant of $541,871.53 is available to support equipment and curriculum for secondary career programs, with a district match of $239,988.44.
Lee's Summit R-VII finance committee staff presented a state Career and Technical Education (CTE) Enhancement Grant worth $541,871.53 to fund equipment, software and other needs for secondary CTE programs.
The grant is intended for high-school–level programs and Summit Tech, and the district would provide a local match of $239,988.44, staff said. Mrs. Booth presented the item during the committee's contracts discussion and invited questions from the committee.
Mrs. Booth said the grant will help cover equipment and curriculum costs “through almost all of our program areas across the district,” and she emphasized the award is for secondary programs only. No formal vote or final approval was recorded in the committee transcript; the item was presented for committee consideration.
Committee members did not record substantive follow-up questions in the transcript. The presentation established the expected grant amount and the district match but did not include a timeline for acceptance or a staff recommendation for final approval in this meeting.
District staff will bring the grant item forward as part of the contracts and budget process; officials did not record a committee decision on final acceptance during the meeting.
