Summary
The committee voted to accept a $20,000 Doosan Bobcat Discovery grant that will place a laser engraver in district classrooms; the acceptance will be forwarded as a resolution to the full board for formal approval at the board meeting.
The committee voted to accept a Doosan Bobcat Discovery grant intended to bring a laser engraving machine into district classroom instruction. Anna Vitale, who applied for the award, told the committee she worked with Doosan Bobcat and community partners to secure the grant and that the equipment will support hands-on learning for students.
A committee member moved to accept the grant (identified in discussion as $20,000); the committee voted by voice and approved the acceptance. The committee agreed the matter will be forwarded as a resolution to the full board, where Hawkins and Ash, P.A. (the auditing firm) and the grant paperwork will also be on the agenda.
Committee members praised the grant applicant and local-business involvement. The presenter and staff said installation details and scheduling will follow final acceptance and that the equipment will be available for broader use across the district as appropriate.
The committee recorded no separate roll-call vote in the transcript; acceptance was by unanimous voice vote.
