Trustees approve student-built greenhouse for GHS to support FFA income and learning
Summary
The board approved a student-built ~2,000 sq ft greenhouse for Grangeville High School's FFA program, with estimated materials cost of $2,000–$2,500 and volunteer support; students will mill lumber and build the structure.
A Grangeville High School representative (speaker 7) described plans for a greenhouse extension to expand plant-growing space for the FFA program; the proposal calls for students to mill lumber from donated logs, draw plans, and construct the structure with volunteer assistance.
The speaker estimated the material cost at about $2,000 to $2,500 and said the project will require a city building permit because of its size. Trustee (speaker 6) moved to accept the GHS greenhouse as presented; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
The project will support vocational learning (FFA) and provide hands-on construction and horticulture experience for students, with donated materials and community volunteers helping reduce district expense.
