District to seek approval of 2025—26 Head Start state supplemental grant; no program changes reported
Summary
Staff told the board the district will seek formal approval at the July 22 meeting to accept the 25-26 Head Start state supplemental grant, saying the award does not revise program content and that Rhonda Lopez and Bill will attend to answer questions.
District staff said the Kenosha School District will ask the board to accept a 2025—26 Head Start state supplemental grant at the July 22 regular meeting and that the grant does not change the program.
An unidentified staff presenter introduced the item and clarified the source is a state supplemental grant (not federal). Staff said the district must formally approve acceptance of the award at the upcoming meeting. Michelle Santelli, regional coordinator for high schools, confirmed no program revisions are included in the grant request and that the funding would be used as part of the district's Head Start program.
Board members asked whether state and federal budgets had changed; staff said the state budget kept funding levels the same, and staff expected federal funding to be stable for the year. Rhonda Lopez and Bill were identified as staff who will be present at the regular meeting to answer questions about the grant.
Next steps: the formal acceptance vote is scheduled for the July 22 regular meeting; no board action was taken at the special meeting.
