Board approves application for WHAS Crusade for Children grant to install sensory pathways
Summary
The board authorized district staff to apply for a WHAS Crusade for Children grant to fund sensory pathways for pre-K through middle school students to support those with sensory processing needs.
Beth Morgan Cook requested board authorization to apply for a WHAS Crusade for Children grant to install sensory pathways at district schools serving pre-K through middle school students.
Cook said the sensory pathways would include textures, colors and movement elements designed to increase engagement, provide movement breaks and support students with sensory processing challenges. The application requires authorization signatures from the superintendent and the board chair; the board voted to authorize staff to submit the application and, if awarded, to maintain items purchased with the grant funds.
Board approval was recorded by roll call; staff were asked to proceed with the application process and return with any required documentation if the district is selected.
