Summary
Administrators reported a $25,000 donation to fine arts and multiple grants totaling roughly $240,000 for teen mental health, health and wellness, and a Department of Public Health education grant; staff will send thank‑you letters.
Revere Public Schools announced several new grants and a private donation during the Nov. 18 Committee of the Whole meeting: a $25,000 gift from the Murray Bernstein Charitable Trust for the fine arts department and multiple state and public‑health grants supporting teen mental health and sex‑education or relationship curricula.
Why it matters: The funds will support fine arts programming and health and wellness initiatives. Administrators credited staff (Jill, named in meeting remarks) for grant submissions and asked the committee to send letters of thanks.
District staff listed two DESE grants—one for $100,000 supporting safe, healthy learning and teen mental health/first aid work and a second DESE award of $60,000 for related health and wellness efforts. The Department of Public Health grant cited another roughly $80,000 for a program described as Successful Teens: Relationships, Identity and Values Education.
Next steps: Staff will circulate thank‑you letters and incorporate grant funds into departmental budgeting and program planning.
