Board accepts fall donations; PCA spotlights two educators
Summary
Donations totaling multiple thousands were reported to support athletics and arts across district schools; Katie Long accepted a $1,800 gift for Vineland’s student recognition program and the PCA recognized two educators. The consent agenda was approved and the motion carried.
Board members on Sept. 23 heard a series of fall donations to district schools and received a public recognition from the Parent-Community Association (PCA).
Katie Long, who identified herself when accepting the item, said, "I'm just here to accept a gift of $1,800 from Minicall Works Credit Union. They're supporting our student of the month program." The presenter who followed listed numerous donations to Rye High School and Pueblo County High School, including a $5,000 donation split between speech and debate and drama at Pueblo County High, a $3,150 donation to the dance team from Drury Brothers Roofing, multiple $1,000 donations from local supporters, and several $500 gifts to the football program.
During open forum Kate Paycheck (identified herself as PCA president) and Adrian Padula (identified as PCA certified vice president) recognized Natalie Hatcher of Prairie Winds and Janelle Griffin for their work supporting students with diverse needs.
The chair asked for a motion to accept the gifts "as presented"; a motion and a second were recorded but the transcript did not specify the individual movers for that item. Later, the board moved and seconded approval of the consent agenda; a roll-call read names and affirmative responses were recorded for Chris DeLuca, Cathy (last name varied in the transcript and is not consistently spelled), Anne Och and AJ Wilson, and the chair stated, "Motion carried."
