Board raises Daryl Smith scholarship and amends policy language
Summary
The Grandview School Board voted to raise this year's Daryl Smith scholarship award to $16,250 and to change policy wording to allow an amount 'designated by the board'; the board discussed current earnings of $15,812.43 as the basis for the increase.
Board members debated the Daryl Smith scholarship formula after reviewing the account earnings and the written policy. One board member noted the scholarship fund earnings of $15,812.43 and proposed increasing this year's award to $16,250; the board moved and approved that increase by voice vote.
Members also discussed policy wording that currently reads "$10,000 or the earnings" and agreed to add language allowing "an amount designated by the board." A board member clarified the practical step: modify item number 1 in the policy to permit the board to designate a different amount. The motion to amend the policy wording was made, seconded and carried during the same discussion, and the board asked staff to provide revised verbiage for packet inclusion and formal adoption.
