Local group donates $1,000 to support Mount Vernon City Schools levy
Summary
A local organization endorsed the district's May levy and presented a $1,000 donation to the board; the donor asked that the check be directed to the committee treasurer, Jim Myers.
During public participation on Feb. 13, community member Mike said his local group voted to endorse the district's upcoming levy and presented a $1,000 donation from the Ohio Association of Public School Employees to support Mount Vernon City Schools.
"Please accept this donation in the amount of $1,000 to assist the effort to pass your levy from Mount Vernon City Schools," Mike said, reading a letter the group received. He asked that the check be given to the committee treasurer, Jim Myers.
Board members thanked Mike for the endorsement and the contribution and confirmed staff would ensure the donation reached the appropriate committee accounting and the named treasurer. The chair asked whether Mike would return in March; Mike said he expected to be back.
Context: the donation was presented during the public reports/participation portion of the meeting and came after the board completed routine procedural business. The donor organization was identified in the speaker's remarks as the Ohio Association of Public School Employees (referred to in the transcript as "OPC" or similar shorthand).
What happens next: board members indicated staff would assist in delivering the check to the committee treasurer and thanked the donor for the support.
