Board hears SEEDS after-school update and discusses $72,000 271 grant distribution
Summary
Presenters said SEEDS serves about 75 students with daily attendance around 35–45 and has received STEM funding; the board was told the district received $72,000 in 271 grant funds to distribute but there is little guidance on eligibility and no third-party employees will be used.
Cheyenne Dolaskie and SEEDS site coordinators Jamie Robbins and Amanda Gordon briefed the board on a proposed budget amendment and program updates for SEEDS, the district’s after-school program. Presenters said SEEDS enrolls about 75 students in total with daily attendance averaging 35–45; the program recently received STEM funding and is coordinating with the robotics club and planning family STEM events.
The board was informed that the district received $72,000 through a 271 grant to disperse. Presenters said there is very little guidance available about who is eligible for that funding and that no third-party employees will be involved in distribution. The minutes do not record a formal vote on the budget amendment during the Feb. 9 meeting.
Separately, Anthony DeSalvio asked to move the Class of 2026 senior trip to April 14–15 to avoid conflicts with sporting events; the request was recorded in the minutes. The board did not record further action or implementation details for SEEDS or the 271 grant in the meeting text.
Board members offered brief comments elsewhere in the meeting, praising recent school events and student recognition. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
