Riceville board discusses daycare grant and fundraising for facility construction
Summary
Superintendent Barb Schwamman told the board the district is collecting pledges for daycare construction; building and grounds are meeting on construction projects and the board discussed the daycare grant but recorded no formal decision.
District leaders told the Riceville Board of Education on Jan. 20 that the district’s planned daycare construction project is still in a fundraising phase and that staff are collecting pledges to support the build.
Superintendent Barb Schwamman noted the daycare grant as an item in her report and said the district is working to collect all pledges for the daycare construction. Building & Grounds reported meeting on construction projects. The board also asked for a tax‑rate history to be provided at a future meeting as part of the broader fiscal context for capital projects.
The transcript records a discussion on the daycare grant but no vote or firm commitment to a financing plan; no dollar totals for pledges or grant awards were recorded in the minutes. The record also notes the district is "looking to share technology again next year," indicating ongoing operational planning tied to district resources.
Because the minutes list the daycare grant and ongoing pledge collection but do not list awarded funds or final approvals, the matter remains under discussion and will likely return to a future agenda for further action or formal motions.
