District received $16,000 grant to support CTE; 75% must reimburse parent out-of-pocket costs
Summary
Presenter said the district was awarded about $16,000 intended to boost CTE/postsecondary opportunities; about 75% of the funds must reimburse parents for out-of-pocket expenses such as dual-credit fees or safety gear, and $4,000 can be used for field trips.
Presenter said the district received roughly $16,000 from an advancing-opportunities grant intended to encourage CTE and postsecondary participation. "Apparently, they ended up with some money at the end, so we did get part of that grant," the Presenter said, and explained program restrictions: "you have to use 75% of it has to be to pay back parents for out of pocket expenses for CTE stuff."
The presenter gave examples of eligible reimbursements, such as dual-credit fees, welding-class safety gear, coveralls and welding helmets, and said $4,000 of the grant may be used for field trips or travel-related expenses. Trustees welcomed the flexibility to reimburse families but noted the district must carefully administer the program to meet the grant's reimbursement requirements.
