Board approves $532,328 distance‑learning and telemedicine grant with $79,926 local match
Summary
The board unanimously approved a distance‑learning/telemedicine grant award of $532,328 requiring a local match of $79,926 and adopted Resolution 26‑1 naming district staff to manage paperwork and reimbursements; approval was recorded by roll call.
The Hickman County Board of Education voted to accept a distance‑learning and telemedicine grant (referred to in the packet as the Rust BLT grant) totaling $532,328, with the district required to provide a local match of $79,926.
Administration asked the board to approve the grant agreement so work on equipment, ordering and reimbursement can proceed. The board moved, seconded and approved the grant by roll call; the minutes record affirmative votes for Dr. Coup, Miss Harren, Miss Taylor, Mr. Hobs, Mr. Lane and Miss May.
Because the grant requires designated staff to submit paperwork and handle reimbursements, the board approved Resolution 26‑1 to identify those designees (administration recommended Derek and another staff member). The resolution passed and will be signed by the board chair.
The administration said paperwork remains and the funds are not completely available until final paperwork is processed; the board approved the agreement on the condition that the usual purchasing and reimbursement procedures be followed.
What happens next: designated staff will complete final ordering and reimbursement requests under the terms of the grant and report back to the board as required.
