Summary

The committee approved three grant proposals: a middle‑school career/academic planning program (MyCAP), an open‑source 'Investigating History' pilot supported by Primary Source, and a cybersecurity awareness continuation including phishing simulations and staff onboarding tools.

District staff presented three grant proposals and asked the committee to approve their submission and implementation. Staff said the grants would fund a middle‑school career and academic planning initiative (MyCAP) to bring career planning earlier into middle school, an 'Investigating History' open‑source curriculum pilot supported by Primary Source for middle school social studies, and continuation of a cybersecurity awareness program (Notebook4 system) that provides onboarding and phishing‑simulation tools for staff.

Speakers said the grants support district priorities — career planning, curriculum quality and staff cybersecurity training — and thanked staff who helped write applications. A motion to approve the grant applications was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
