Salina Board approves acceptance of estimated $525,000 opioid abatement grant with Town of Salina
Summary
The Salina Board of Education unanimously approved accepting an estimated $525,000 in opioid abatement funds, to be received jointly with the Town of Salina, with the district serving as fiscal agent if the application written by Misty Russell is approved.
Board President Leroy Monk led a unanimous vote June 9 to accept an estimated $525,000 in opioid abatement funds, to be handled jointly with the Town of Salina and administered with the Salina School District as fiscal agent if the application written by Misty Russell is approved. The board recorded the intended use as "a variety of expenses associated with providing our students with the tools they need to avoid the inappropriate use of toxic substances."
The motion passed as part of the consent agenda and carried five yes votes from Monk, Vice‑President Greg Rice, Clerk Jackie Ball, Member Jarred Sorum and Member Casey McWhirt. The board did not specify exact program line items in the minutes; approval is contingent on the grant application being accepted and any subsequent conditions the grantor imposes.
