Fridley board accepts community donations, approves asbestos removal contract and adopts consent agenda
Summary
The Fridley Public Schools board accepted community donations to its family-assistance fund, approved an asbestos abatement contract for Fridley Middle School, and adopted the consent agenda. The gifts motion passed by roll call; subsequent approvals passed by voice.
The Fridley Public Schools board voted to accept community donations that support rental assistance, utilities, groceries and household supplies for families affected by recent enforcement events. Superintendent Dr. Brenda Lewis said the district has received $18,000 in new donations since the February meeting and more than $38,000 total to date; about $15,000 of that figure came from a district alum and no district operating dollars fund the assistance.
The board approved the donations in a roll-call vote. Recorded affirmative votes were: Miss Anna, Miss Jones, Mr. Carup, Miss Shriner, Miss Stark, Miss Yang and Miss Shelby. The motion to accept the gifts was made by Director Stark.
The board then moved to approve the district’s Achievement & Integration Plan (motion by Jones; second by Stark) and an agreement with Environmental Plant Services to remove asbestos at Fridley Middle School (motion by Stark; second by Shriner). Both motions passed on voice votes. The meeting concluded after the board adopted the consent agenda and reviewed upcoming district dates and events.
Nut graf: The formal approvals complete routine business and advance the district’s programmatic and facilities work; donations cited fund direct family supports managed outside the general fund.
Ending: The board adjourned at 9:27 p.m.; staff said documentation and links (SOD materials, AAC explanation) will remain on the district web page and audit and program updates will be provided in future board materials.
