Summary
Plainview ISD accepted a donation of DeWalt tools valued at $9,936.46 from Stanley Black & Decker to equip the district's CTE welding program; district representatives said the donation includes tools for other shop classes and the donor will provide a banner and may attend an open house.
Plainview ISD trustees on April 24 accepted a donation of DeWalt tools valued at $9,936.46 from Stanley Black & Decker's Grow the Trade initiative to support the district's CTE welding program.
Carl Denheim (construction project manager/operations) and district instructional staff described the package of tools to the board and confirmed the donor's request to display a sponsor banner; the donor representative indicated willingness to attend a school open house. The donation includes multiple hand and power tools identified by district staff; the agenda packet lists individual items (attachment to donation). Superintendent Dr. Sanchez and the CTE director framed the gift as an opportunity to place industry-standard tools in students' hands so they can train on the same equipment used by employers.
The board approved acceptance of the donation by voice vote (6-0). District staff said they will inventory the tools, incorporate them into the welding program and coordinate the donor's banner and potential public recognition at an event.
No district funds are required to accept the donation; staff will manage distribution and inventory under CTE operations.
