Brewster USD accepts $80,000 Patterson Family Foundation grant; board will decide use later
Summary
The Brewster USD Board unanimously accepted an $80,000 grant from the Patterson Family Foundation, with the board saying details for how the funds will be used will be determined at a later date.
The Brewster Unified School District No. 314 Board of Education voted Aug. 19 to accept an $80,000 grant from the Patterson Family Foundation, but left specific uses of the funds undecided.
Nicolas Schroeder moved to accept the grant and Kassie Selby seconded; the motion carried 6–0. The board’s minutes record the acceptance but state that “details of use [are] to be determined at a later date.”
The decision was taken during the district’s regular meeting; the board did not specify dollar allocations or a timeline for spending at the session. Board Vice President Kassie Selby had earlier reported she was taking a more active role in coordinating grant-writing efforts to reduce the workload on Superintendent Jessica McCoy.
Superintendent Jessica McCoy remains the district’s chief administrator while the board pursues next steps for the funds. The board did not indicate whether the grant will be used for instructional programs, capital projects, staffing, or another purpose.
Next steps: the board accepted the grant formally and left further discussion and appropriation of the funds for a future meeting when administrators can present recommendations.
