Board approves $5,500 Wood Estate grant for Camp Invention and asks for account transparency
Summary
The Governor Wentworth Regional School Board approved a $5,500 Wood Estate application to fund one week of Camp Invention across several district schools and requested that future Wood Estate applications include account balances and a multi‑year request history.
The Governor Wentworth Regional School Board on Nov. 3 approved a Wood Estate application requesting $5,500 to fund one week of Camp Invention in June for Carpenter, CLS, OCS/EES, TCS and NDS.
Superintendent Caroline Arakelian presented the application and the board voted unanimously to approve the funding. Chair Brodie Deshaies asked that future Wood Estate applications include the Wood Estate account balance, amounts already obligated, and the available balance. Board member Tom Bickford requested a report on Wood Estate requests and grants for the past three years, including dollar amounts requested and granted.
The motion specifies the $5,500 allocation for Camp Invention; board members discussed the request and recorded the approval with the stated conditions for greater transparency on future requests. The board did not specify further implementation details in the minutes; administration is expected to provide the requested account information at or before consideration of subsequent Wood Estate requests.
What happens next: administration will record the grant and coordinate Camp Invention scheduling for participating schools and provide the requested Wood Estate account balance and three‑year request history for future board presentations.
