Richland District accepts $5.7 million Community Schools Partnership grant to support Shafter Family Resource Center
Summary
Superintendent Annette Blacklock announced the district secured a five‑year, $5.7 million grant from the California Community Schools Partnership Program to provide about $1.1 million annually to support the Shafter Family Resource Center; the board approved routine business and staffing actions at the Aug. 11 meeting.
The Richland Governing Board of Trustees on Aug. 11 accepted a five‑year grant totaling $5.7 million from the California Community Schools Partnership Program to support the Shafter Family Resource Center.
Superintendent Annette Blacklock told trustees that the award will provide "just over $1.1 million annually to support the Shafter Family Resource Center," and she described a recent Kohl’s shopping event for 13 scholars and family‑resource center participants funded by the Shafter Rotary Club. The board took the grant announcement as part of the superintendent’s report and proceeded with other routine approvals at the meeting.
The grant was described in the superintendent’s report and no formal board motion specific to the grant was recorded in the minutes; the meeting continued with votes on consent calendar items, staffing permits and procurement authority later in the agenda. The district said it will use the funds to support services coordinated through the Shafter Family Resource Center but did not include line‑item allocations in the meeting minutes.
