Superintendent Weddle told the board that West Point Public Schools received multiple grants to support classroom technology, food-service expansion and career-technical equipment. The district was awarded $50,000 from the Dinklage Foundation and $10,000 from the West Point Public Schools Foundation to purchase interactive smart boards; the district also received a $26,830 Summer Food Expansion Grant to buy a combi oven and supplies for an outdoor pickup point and a $4,200 award to add TIG welding kits to the agriculture program.
