Students seek approval for CVHS water-fountain/art-garden project; board takes no final action
Summary
High school students presented a grant-funded water-fountain and outdoor learning project for CVHS, describing student-led maintenance plans and the use of solar equipment; the board heard the presentation but took no formal action.
Students from Clearwater Valley High School presented a grant-funded project to build a water fountain and outdoor art/gallery learning space in front of CVHS. Payton Labudie (speaker 13) explained the project is covered by grant funds and would use solar-powered equipment so "it will not cost any extra money to the school," and students would maintain the installation as part of natural-resources and future classes.
Trustees asked practical questions about water hookups and winter maintenance; students said the pump would be removed for the winter and fish would go dormant. Trustee 3 moved to accept the water-fountain thread for consideration but the board recorded "No action taken," indicating the project presentation was informational and that staff or the curriculum committee would follow up if permits or contracts were required.
"Students have been gathering rocks over the past year to use local rocks for building it," Payton Labudie told the board, describing the educational benefits of a student-built project. The board thanked the students and noted that class involvement in maintenance and future course work factor into long-term stewardship.
