Board approves partnership with Academies of Central Arkansas Foundation using Perkins funds
Summary
Board unanimously approved continuing participation in the Academies of Central Arkansas Foundation; the funding source noted was Perkins funds.
The board voted unanimously to approve continued district participation in the Academies of Central Arkansas Foundation. Marcus, who represented the foundation at an earlier meeting, returned to the agenda and the board took the action as presented.
The administration listed Perkins funds as the financing source for the district’s participation. The board chair called for a motion and a second; the vote passed unanimously with no recorded opposition.
Why it matters: Perkins funding supports career and technical education programs; participation in the Academies of Central Arkansas Foundation is intended to advance CTE pathways for district students. The board did not provide a breakdown of the Perkins allocation at the meeting, but staff described the action as continuation of an existing partnership rather than a new long-term financial commitment.
Vote: motion to approve district participation — passed unanimously.
