Commissioners accept $1,500 donation for jail reentry programs
Summary
The court unanimously accepted a $1,500 donation from the Texoma Community Foundation to support inmate programs and reentry services at the Grayson County Jail after the sheriff’s office said the grant application was unsuccessful.
The Grayson County Commissioner’s Court voted to accept a $1,500 donation from the Texoma Community Foundation for inmate programs and reentry services at the county jail.
A representative of the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office said the office had applied for a grant through the foundation but was not awarded that grant; the foundation offered the donation instead to support similar programming. "All we're asking today is that the court allows to accept this donation," the sheriff’s office representative told the court.
Commissioner Marsh moved to accept the donation, Commissioner Wright seconded, and the court approved the motion without recorded opposition. The funds were described as earmarked for inmate programs and reentry services; no breakdown of the program uses or administration was provided during the discussion.
