Board accepts $220,000 gift for middle‑school outdoor classroom, approves a string of donations and contracts
Summary
The Galena board accepted a $220,000 donation for a Galena Middle School outdoor classroom and approved multiple donations, intergovernmental agreements, and service contracts (Pirate Pantry, 8th‑grade trip, OT/PT shared services, The Arc after‑school contract, snow removal), all by roll call.
Board members approved several donations and contracts during new business, including a $220,000 gift from the Galena Education Foundation for the Galena Middle School outdoor classroom.
Other approved items included a $1,250 Rotary Club donation to the Pirate Pantry, a $1,635 donation for the eighth‑grade trip to Four Mounds, an intergovernmental agreement to share occupational and physical therapy services with East Special Education to save costs, discretionary stipends for student activity advisors, and the annual before‑and‑after‑school contract with The Arc. The board also approved a snow‑removal and salt application contract with Holshire Fencing at the same price as the prior year.
Each recommendation was moved and carried by roll call as presented. Administrators thanked donors and noted that programs such as the Pirate Pantry remain active under district supervision.
