Board accepts $3,200 donation for CHS football travel and $100,000 anticipated foundation support
Summary
Trustees accepted a $3,200 donation from Sierra Vista Rentals for CHS football charter bus costs and accepted anticipated annual support of $100,000 from the Imperial Valley Community Foundation to fund student enrichment programs.
The board accepted two items of financial support at the Dec. 16 meeting. First, trustees accepted a $3,200 donation from Isaac Chavez of Sierra Vista Rentals LLC to cover charter-bus costs for Calipatria High School's Nov. 21, 2024 CIF Div. 5 AA Title Game; the board asked that a thank-you letter be sent to the donor. Second, the board accepted anticipated annual funding of $100,000 from the Imperial Valley Community Foundation to support a sustainable enrichment program; the minutes say funds will be deposited into BYMS and CHS ASB accounts and CUSD accounts according to annual budget submissions.
Why this matters: The donations provide direct support for student activities and programming. The $3,200 donation covered transportation for an athletic event; the anticipated $100,000 is designated for enrichment programs and is expected to be managed through ASB and district accounts as part of annual budgeting.
Both items were approved by motion and roll-call vote per the minutes; the documents and funding details are available through the Superintendent's Office and in the meeting materials.
