Henderson board donates $500 to Project Graduation; police department will match funds
Summary
The board approved a $500 city donation for Project Graduation 2025 after a request from Senior Class President Nathan Salvador; the police department will match the amount, bringing the total to $1,000 for the senior-class event on May 19.
Senior Class President Nathan Salvador told the Henderson board that Project Graduation will be held the night of commencement, May 19, and requested municipal support to help provide a safe, drug-free event for graduates.
City Recorder Jim E. Garland said the city budgets $500 annually for the cause and that the police department typically matches that amount. Alderman Mark A. Barber moved to approve the $500 donation from the city with an additional $500 from the police department; Alderman Jason Rhodes seconded and the motion carried. The board recorded the total donation for Project Graduation 2025 as $1,000.
What happens next: the city’s donation and the police department match will fund Project Graduation activities; staff did not specify disbursement details in the minutes.
