Committee accepts $117,700 lead-remediation grant and $13,000 signage donation
Summary
The committee approved a New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services grant for lead remediation totaling $117,700 and accepted a $13,000 donation from SUSES Signs to replace welcome-center signage.
Polly Golden, the district's grant manager, presented two items for committee approval: a New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services lead remediation grant for $117,700 and a donation from SUSES Signs to remove, replace and install new signage at the district welcome center.
Golden said the DES grant will be used for lead remediation in schools and that SUSES Signs, a local Manchester business, is donating $13,000 to update signage. A committee member thanked the donor and the DES for their work and moved to approve; the motion was seconded and the committee recorded a voice vote of "ayes" and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The DES grant targets lead remediation—a safety and compliance task for school facilities—while the donated signage will improve wayfinding at the district welcome center.
No additional conditions or contingencies were stated in the meeting minutes for either item.
