St. Francis to chip in $1,600 toward new wrestling mat after grants, donation
Summary
After a CCKCF grant and a $10,000 donation covered most of the cost, the St. Francis Board voted to have the district pay the remaining $1,600 for a new practice wrestling mat.
The St. Francis Board of Education agreed Aug. 22 to contribute $1,600 toward the purchase of a new practice wrestling mat after trustees confirmed grant and donation funding covered the bulk of the cost.
Audience member Adam Guthmiller told the board that community funds had been raised for the mat and asked whether the school would participate. The board acknowledged $5,000 from a CCKCF grant and a $10,000 donation earmarked for the mat; on a motion by Bruce Swihart, seconded by Shawna Blanka, the board approved paying the remaining $1,600.
The consent calendar approved earlier in the meeting also recorded additional related gifts: $5,000 from a CCKCF grant toward the mat and smaller grants for grade-school supplies and lounge remodeling. The minutes do not list the mat’s total purchase price, vendor, or timeline for delivery.
The motion to contribute district funds passed during new-business discussion; the minutes record no abstentions or conditions attached to the contribution.
