Board accepts Midwest Energy grant for library books and approves applying for Amazon purchasing card
Summary
Administrators told the board the district received a $420 Midwest Energy grant to buy middle‑school library books and asked for approval to apply for an Amazon card that would yield 5% back on purchases; the board approved both items.
Doctor Scott asked the board to accept a $420 grant from Midwest Energy to purchase books for the middle school library and to permit the district to apply for an Amazon purchasing card, which administration said carries no fees and would return 5% on purchases the district already makes on the platform.
"This month, we received a $420 grant from Midwest Energy to purchase books for the middle school library," Doctor Scott said. He recommended the board accept the donation. Later he explained the rationale for an Amazon card, saying the district buys many items from Amazon and could benefit from cash‑back and streamlined purchasing.
The board moved, seconded and approved both the acceptance of the donation and the application for an Amazon card during the consent/administrative portion of the meeting.
