USD 239 seeks partners for one-year grant to restore post-practice student transport
Summary
USD 239 Superintendent Dr. Curtis Stevens described a potential one-year AIC grant that would provide public transport for students after athletic practices; it requires a $5,000 community partner match and could continue with an additional $11,000 match.
Dr. Curtis Stevens, superintendent of USD 239, told commissioners the district is developing a new vision and mission and seeking partnerships with public and private entities to support students.
He highlighted an AIC (Access Innovation Collaboration) grant that would provide a public transportation route after athletic practices, for example running students from Minneapolis Junior/Senior High School to Delphos after practices at roughly 5:30–5:45 p.m. The grant requires a $5,000 match from community partners, at least one partner being a school district; Stevens said the one-year grant could be continued if partners provide an additional $11,000 match.
Stevens said the program is for the general public as well as students and that USD 239 hopes to coordinate resources to avoid duplicating services. He asked the county and other local entities to consider how they might support routing or matching funds.
