Board reviews permission to apply for $5,000 TVA STEM grant for robotics project
Summary
The district was given permission to seek a $5,000 TVA STEM grant to support a robotics-and-agriculture project led by a student teacher; the grant is nonmatching and would fund an automated-irrigation project linking robotics and agriculture instruction.
Cannon County staff asked the board for permission to apply for a $5,000 TVA STEM grant to support a robotics project that would partner high-school robotics students with agriculture classes to design automated irrigation systems.
Miss Kennedy introduced the item and said the application was written by student teacher Peggy Clement. The award is nonmatching; if the project is chosen the district would receive $5,000 to purchase materials and support hands-on STEM activities.
Board members did not raise concerns about the application. The workshop transcript does not show a recorded board vote at the workshop on formal approval to apply; staff stated the item was informational and procedural next step was to submit the application if the board concurs.
