Summary
Nelson County accepted a $100,000 CTE Innovation and Support grant from KDE and voted to apply for an AED grant; both actions were approved by board motion and voice vote Feb. 17.
The Nelson County Board of Education voted Feb. 17 to accept a competitive CTE Innovation and Support grant from the Kentucky Department of Education and to authorize staff to apply for a second-year AED grant.
Dr. Sheerhorn told the board the district had been awarded one of five KDE CTE grants statewide for $100,000 and credited CTE staff and collaborators for crafting the successful application. “We were recently awarded the CTE innovation and support grant from KDE. It was a highly competitive grant. They only awarded five in the whole state. It was for $100,000,” Dr. Sheerhorn said.
Board members praised the district’s grant-writing and moved to accept the award; the motion was seconded and the board approved the acceptance by voice vote. Later in the meeting Dr. Sheerhorn asked the board to authorize a second-year application for an AED grant to replace aging automated external defibrillators used in high-need locations; the district received $45,000 from that program last year and the board approved pursuing the award again.
The board treated both items as routine business and approved motions by voice vote. No individual recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
