Summary
Trudy Education Foundation presented the Bartlesville School Foundation with a $47,500 check to support school resource officers, Junior Achievement BizTown and other student programs.
Bartlesville — Representatives of the Trudy Education Foundation and the Bartlesville School Foundation presented a $47,500 donation to the school foundation during the school board meeting.
Mark Goldberg, speaking for the group that included Aaron Beldner, Nicole McKinney and board chair Chris Spachalder, said, "we're gonna be able to present a check tonight for $47,500, to help fund the school resource officers, Junior Achievement BizTown, and, Bruin." Goldberg said the foundation has previously supported the teacher hall of fame and the state of the school event.
Board members thanked the foundation representatives and students and staff offered acknowledgements; the presentation occurred before the superintendent's report and prior to other agenda items.
The donation was described as intended to support school resource officers (SROs), Junior Achievement BizTown and the program referenced as "Bruin" (details on how funds will be allocated among those items were not specified at the meeting). No formal board vote was required for the presentation.
The district recognized a group of students who had been named by the College Board for high scores and demographic recognition; board members and staff said the students exemplify the district's academic achievements that community support helps sustain.
