Board schedules special session to finalize process for two $1 million donations
Summary
Board discussed the 'Wolf' donations — two $1,000,000 gifts intended for high school and Stilson — and directed administration and the superintendent to convene a special session to review proposals and define selection criteria, with a goal of making decisions between August and September.
The board discussed the process for allocating two $1,000,000 donor gifts (referred to in the meeting as the 'Wolf donation') that had been paused pending availability of funds and the arrival of a new superintendent. Administration said the funds are now in hand and proposed convening a special meeting to review existing proposals and finalize selection criteria.
The superintendent said the district must take care to ensure the gifts are used in ways that clearly benefit students and not create the appearance of impropriety. Board members asked the superintendent to distribute a Doodle poll to find a time for a special session; staff and the superintendent agreed to return with a formal process and timeline for board review, aiming for August–September decisions.
