Board accepts donations for band; superintendent announces Juneteenth parade route
Summary
The board accepted $500 and $300 in donations for the school band and heard from the superintendent that the band will march in the Juneteenth parade Friday, starting at Max Brandon Park around 5:00 p.m.
The Westwood Heights School Board unanimously approved accepting two donations designated for the school band: $500 from Dort Federal and $300 from the Valley Area Agency on Aging. The motion to accept the donations was moved by Ms. Roberts and supported by Mr. Johnson and carried 6-0.
Board members confirmed that funds raised for the band would be allocated to the band’s program. The record shows board members asked whether the donations would be used solely for the band and were told they would be.
After the donation vote, the superintendent told the board the school band will march in the Juneteenth parade on Friday, beginning at Max Brandon Park with a roughly 5:00 p.m. start and stops including Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church before proceeding downtown. The band director was present and indicated he had no additional remarks.
The board recorded the donations and acknowledged the announcement; no further action on the parade was recorded in the meeting transcript.
