Board accepts Dad’s Club donation for press box and recognizes Julie Schwarz memorial scholarship fund
Summary
The board accepted a Dad’s Club donation of a portable press box (about $25,000) to improve press‑box safety and weather protection and noted donations to the newly established Julie Schwarz memorial scholarship fund; both measures were approved by the board.
The Pleasantville board accepted a donation from the Dad’s Club to provide a portable press box at the main field and noted contributions to the recently established Julie Schwarz memorial scholarship fund.
Mr. Vosi described the donated portable press box as replacing a rotting wooden structure at the far side of the main field; he said the donor group’s work preserves district funds for other needs. The meeting referenced a donation value of about $25,000. The board moved to accept the donation and the motion passed.
Separately, the board discussed Item O, which listed donations received for the Julie Schwarz Memorial Scholarship Fund. Board members described Ms. Schwarz as a longtime community member who staffed budget votes and served the district for many years; trustees said they were honored to support the scholarship fund and had made personal donations.
Why it matters: Private donations can accelerate small infrastructure improvements and scholarship funds preserve institutional memory while supporting students; the board recorded the donation acceptance on the public record.
