Superintendent updates board on several grants and capital projects, including two $500,000 grants and a $200,000 kitchen grant
Summary
Superintendent Paul Wieneke briefed the board on multiple grants and capital items: a $500,000 Federal School Safety Grant (in evaluation), an HVAC-related application tied to a $6 million program, a $200,000 kitchen grant entering permitting, a Rural Modernization $6 million construction fund still pending, a $500,000 solar grant with a Dec. 14 milestone, and a playground grant for supplies and repairs.
Superintendent Paul Wieneke provided a consolidated update on capital projects and grant activity. The minutes note: "A) $500,000 Federal School Safety Grant is still in award evaluation. B) HVAC grant: waiting for application to be released by OSPI. Can be substituted out of the $6 million grant. C) Kitchen grant $200,000: Permitting starting next month. D) Rural Modernization Grant: Planning phase. $6 million construction funding yet to be released by the legislature. E) Solar Grant $500,000; 1st milestone is December 14th, showing the interdependencies between design, procurement, delivery, installation and commissioning activities. F) Playground grant update for supplies and repairs."
The update lists grant statuses and next steps rather than final awards. Several items remain in evaluation or planning: the Federal School Safety Grant is still being evaluated, OSPI had not released the HVAC application, the Rural Modernization construction funds remain contingent on legislative appropriation, and the Solar Grant lists a milestone of Dec. 14 as the first formal checkpoint. The minutes do not include contract or procurement timelines beyond the milestone dates and planning statuses recorded.
