Doctor Rolo explained the district's Head Start program serves 540 children and that the carryover funds will be used to continue services during the current program year. Trustees then voted to approve the carryover request and later approved the full grant application. The grant application totals almost $5.5 million; the district will provide a required local match of a little over $1 million.
Board minutes indicate the district must meet usual compliance elements for federal Head Start funding. Joni Bridal, the Head Start leader noted in the presentation packet, was available to answer detailed questions. Trustees approved both items by recorded voice votes (motions carried 5-0).
