Heard County OKs $4,000 to fund temporary AmeriCorps position supporting 4‑H
Summary
The board unanimously approved a $4,000 allocation to fund a temporary part‑time AmeriCorps position to maintain 4‑H services after the county 4‑H agent retires; the request was made by 4‑H Agent Diana Rowe.
The Heard County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on April 21 to provide $4,000 to fund a temporary part‑time AmeriCorps position to support the county’s 4‑H program during a staff transition. Diana Rowe, Heard County’s 4‑H agent, told commissioners the position would help ensure continuity of programming and preserve leadership development opportunities for local youth.
Commissioner James Perry moved to approve the funding; Commissioner Larry Hammond seconded the motion. The minutes record appreciation from commissioners for Rowe’s work and the program’s local impact. The meeting record does not specify the source of the $4,000 in county funds beyond the approved motion.
The board’s action was recorded in the minutes; the 4‑H office will be responsible for implementing the hire and reporting on the position as appropriate.
