Parents ask Wood Village for financial support for Reynolds High senior all-night party
Summary
A Reynolds High parent asked the council to consider sponsoring the senior all-night party, noting parents are trying to raise about $20,000 to subsidize tickets for roughly 200 students; councilors asked staff to check discretionary funds and bring the request back for a future meeting.
A parent from Reynolds High School asked Wood Village’s council to consider supporting the school’s senior all-night party, saying parents are trying to raise about $20,000 to make the event affordable for roughly 200 students.
"We're looking to raise about $20,000 to support 200 or more students, a chance to go to the event for a minimal cost," the resident told the council. She said the Reynolds Teachers Union and classified union had already donated $500 each and that modest city support would be impactful.
Councilors said they saw the event’s public-safety and community-value benefits and directed staff to check the council discretionary fund (staff estimated a discretionary balance around $5,000) and return with options at a future meeting. "We can take it into consideration and ask staff to look at what we have available," the mayor said. No formal vote was taken tonight; councilors planned to place the item on a future agenda for decision.
