Board preview: grants, donations and CTC budget change highlighted on consent agenda
Summary
Administrators previewed consent‑agenda items to be voted at the next meeting, noting a roughly $115,000 decrease to district costs from the Franklin County CTC budget, an $18,000 annual donation from St. Luke's Lutheran Church, and a grant that covers about 70% of the district's cybersecurity software with a required 30% district match.
Administration presented items 5.01–5.18 on the consent agenda and highlighted several finance and program items for board review ahead of the vote at the next meeting.
Mrs. Stauffer called attention to the Franklin County Career & Technology Center's 2026–27 budget, which she said reduces the district's obligation by just under $115,000 due to elimination of a capital improvement fee. Technology staff highlighted a Pennsylvania Emergency Management grant that will pay about 70% of the district's cybersecurity software costs under a three‑year state contract; the district will be responsible for the remaining 30% match.
Board members also noted a substantial donation from St. Luke's Lutheran Church (listed at $18,000), which staff said is an annual contribution, and praised a new Cal Ripken STEM initiative that will bring resources to elementary classrooms.
Items 5.01 through 5.18 were placed on the consent agenda for approval at the next public board meeting; no vote occurred during the Committee of the Whole.
