Superintendent: safety-grant site visit pending; 26 seniors to complete associate degrees
Summary
Superintendent reported a Step Up for Schools safety grant application was successful pending a site visit to determine award size; the district plans keyless entries and video-door intercoms if funded. The superintendent also noted 26 seniors will graduate from Kentucky State University with associate degrees.
The superintendent reported that Mr. Jones had prepared a successful application for a Step Up for Schools school-safety grant; the district has been awarded funds contingent on an upcoming site visit that will determine the award amount. The proposal described in the application focuses on security infrastructure improvements, including new keyless-entry hardware and video-door intercom stations allowing office staff to speak with visitors.
The superintendent also reviewed district programming: slides showed a condensed three-day enrichment program with rescheduled science field trips and lifeguard-certification opportunities; spring-break child-care attendance ran about 15–16 children per week. The superintendent announced that 26 seniors will graduate from Kentucky State University with an associate degree and about 60 credit hours, a milestone the district credited to its partnership with Kentucky State. The superintendent said staff will receive follow-up information after the grantor completes a site visit to finalize award amounts and scope.
Next steps: district staff will host the grantor for a site visit and report back with the final award amount and an implementation plan if funding is confirmed.
