Board amends Grow Your Own grant to pay UTPB tuition directly
Summary
Stanton ISD amended its 'Grow Your Own' grant to allow the district to pay tuition costs directly to UTPB at the beginning of the semester; the motion passed unanimously among those present.
Board members approved an amendment to the SISD Grow Your Own Grant to permit Stanton ISD to pay tuition costs directly to the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) at the beginning of the semester. The motion to amend the grant was made by Tiffany Wells and seconded by Mrs. Jana Cook; the motion passed with six yeas and one absence.
The minutes quote the action as: "Motion to amend SISD Grow Your Own Grant to allow SISD to pay the tuition cost directly to UTPB at the beginning of the semester." The transcript does not include the dollar value of the tuition or how many participants will be affected; those implementation details were "not specified" in the excerpt.
The amendment indicates the district intends to simplify tuition payments for grant participants, likely to support staff or prospective teachers enrolled at UTPB. The minutes list the motion and vote but lack explicit follow‑up assignments or enrollment counts, so further details will come from district staff or later meeting packets.
