District accepts book donation plans; class of 1974 scholarship donation noted
Summary
Superintendent reported a donation of new books from Sanctuary Church pastor Mark Smith intended for the district’s elementary book vending machines; a $500 class-of-1974 scholarship donation was also noted and will be brought forward as a resolution for acceptance.
During the Jan. 13 special meeting, Superintendent Reynolds reported a donation of new children’s books from Pastor Mark Smith of Sanctuary Church. The books are intended for the district’s elementary book-vending machines, described by staff as in-school vending units used to reward students and encourage reading as part of PBIS and other incentives.
The board discussed how the vending machines operate: students earn “coins” and may use them to select books on display. Staff said the donated books are brand new and will be placed in the machines as soon as logistics allow. The superintendent said a resolution to accept the donation will be drafted for board action.
Board members also noted a separate $500 donation from the class of 1974 to the district’s scholarship fund; staff said they would provide details as the item moves to a formal acceptance resolution on a future agenda. No formal motions to accept either donation were recorded in the transcript at this meeting; staff said formal acceptance would be handled by resolution on a subsequent agenda.
