Meadow council approves $350 sponsorship for student to attend Founding Forward program
Summary
The Meadow Town Council voted to approve a $350 sponsorship request from local student Dylan Bishop to attend a Founding Forward (Spirit of America) program in Valley Forge in early March; Bishop said he will report back to the council after the trip.
The Meadow Town Council voted to approve a $350 sponsorship for local student Dylan Bishop to attend a Founding Forward program, which Bishop said is officially called Spirit of America, that will take selected students to historical sites in the Philadelphia/Valley Forge area in early March.
Bishop told the council the program lasts three days, includes travel and site visits, and involves follow-up assignments after the trip. He asked the council for $350 and offered to return after the program to report on what he learned. Council members moved to approve the request; one member made the motion and another seconded it. The chair called for the vote and members responded "Aye," after which the motion passed.
The council did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript. Bishop said the program is not run through the school district and described the organization using the names Founding Forward and Spirit of America; he said he applied by essay and interview and was selected to attend. He told the council he would provide a report after his scheduled trip in early March.
No formal conditions or reporting deadline for Bishop's post-trip report was recorded in the meeting transcript.
