Board OKs $500,000 redevelopment funding from River Ridge for Chromebooks and STEM
Summary
The school board approved a resolution to accept $500,000 in redevelopment authority funds from River Ridge to reimburse planned Chromebook purchases and support STEM curriculum, allowing the district to finalize the reimbursement agreement once invoices are available.
The Greater Clark County School Board voted April 14 to approve a resolution accepting redevelopment authority funds from River Ridge totaling $500,000 to support Chromebook purchases and STEM programming.
District staff told the board the resolution is needed to finalize an agreement with River Ridge Redevelopment Authority so the district can be reimbursed for eligible purchases after submitting invoices. “Our intention with this money is to use it as part of Chromebook purchases in regards to our STEM programming and curriculum,” a presenter said.
Board trustees moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by voice vote. The action authorizes the district to finalize the agreement required by the redevelopment authority and to seek reimbursement once expenses are documented.
Why it matters: The funds will be used to update student technology and support STEM curriculum; the board described the item as part of capital improvements and indicated the reimbursement process will follow submission of invoices.
Next steps: District staff will finalize the agreement with River Ridge and proceed with Chromebook procurement and invoicing consistent with the redevelopment authority’s requirements.
