Clawson council agrees to support student council graduation activities
Summary
Student council representative Tisha asked the council for financial help with senior prizes and described a May 4 service day; the council agreed to repeat last year's level of support and to coordinate details closer to the event.
Tisha, a student council representative, asked the Clawson Town Council to support the senior class's graduation party and prizes and described a May 4 service day that would deploy roughly 40 seniors to towns across the south end of the county.
The request came during the council's public comment period when Tisha said the event "has been awesome" and that "the kids love it." Council members discussed typical per-student funding levels, with one member noting the town has "generally stuck to that magic number" of about $250 per senior in prior years. After brief discussion, a councilor moved to provide the same support as the prior year and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Council members asked that event coordinators supply details nearer the date so the town can finalize amounts and logistics. Tisha said seniors will begin their May 4 service day by spending an hour in several towns on a rotating schedule, aiming to concentrate approximately 40 students in each location rather than the smaller previous groupings.
The council did not set a firm dollar amount at the meeting; members said they would confirm the final funding level and logistical assignments as the event approaches.
