Littleton board approves one-year participatory budgeting partnership for two schools
Summary
The board approved a one-year participatory budgeting partnership that provides $2,000 to each approved school; any project costs exceeding that amount would be paid from site-level funds such as PTO or student activity funds.
The Littleton Elementary School District board approved a one-year participatory budgeting partnership that gives each approved school $2,000 to implement student-chosen projects. Board discussion focused on funding source and implementation logistics before the motion to approve passed.
Board member Marcus Senos sought clarification about how chosen projects would be funded if costs exceeded the grant amount. Administration explained the grant provides $2,000 per school; any expenses beyond that would come from site-level budgets (PTO or student activity funds). The partnership runs through the spring of the current school year; further years were not guaranteed by the agreement presented.
The board moved and seconded the item and voted to approve the school participatory budgeting partnership. The transcript shows voice voting and procedural comments but does not record a roll-call map of each member’s vote by name.
