Board discusses formation of scholarship committee for donor-funded student-athlete awards
Summary
Staff described a proposed donor-funded student-athlete scholarship (two $1,000 awards) and asked the board to appoint a scholarship committee under district policy KH; three potential committee volunteers were named and staff will return with a formal agreement and timeline.
District staff reported an approach from donors to create a new scholarship for Yamhill Carlton students, proposing two $1,000 awards (one male, one female) with criteria tied to athletics and extracurricular involvement. The fiscal agent will manage funds, and staff asked the board to appoint a scholarship committee per policy KH to set conditions for contributions and award criteria.
Staff proposed committee nominees and advised the board that an updated agreement and the application form would be prepared; the board discussed timing and advised staff to develop policy-aligned procedures and a timeline for a first award window next year.
Quote: "So, I received that back, and they were pretty excited to maybe start this year, but I explained to them that we still had to go through board approval," staff said about the donor inquiry.
