Superintendent seeks approval for five donations including equipment and travel support
Summary
Superintendent Carlson presented five proposed donations to district schools: $1,500 from U.S. Army Recruiting to Newcomb High for First Responder Day, funds to Shiprock High girls track, refrigeration equipment for the Safety Net program, and checks to Newcomb robotics for travel. Board discussion did not record final votes in the transcript.
Superintendent Steve Carlson brought five gift and donation requests to the board for consideration.
Carlson said the United States Army Recruiting Company in Albuquerque proposed a $1,500 check to Newcomb High School for food to serve about 300 community members at a First Responder Day event on May 5, 2026. He listed a $500 donation from Brooks to Shiprock High School’s girls track program for meet fees and travel expenses and described a donation valued at $5,087 (commercial-grade refrigerator and freezer) from San Juan College Harvest Food Hub and Kitchen to the district’s Family Resource Center Safety Net program.
Two donations to Newcomb High School Robotics were presented: a $250 check from Westates Supply and a $500 check from Winters Construction to support travel to the FIRST Tech Challenge Western Edge event in Long Beach, California. Superintendent Carlson thanked the donors and noted the expected use of funds for meet fees, snacks, travel and refrigeration needs.
The transcript records the superintendent presenting the five items but does not record a roll-call vote on each donation in the excerpt provided. Board action, if taken later in the meeting, was not captured in the supplied transcript segment.
