Board approves $25,000 allocation for new SHHS flag‑football program
Summary
Trustees approved establishing a flag‑football program at St. Helena High School and a proposed $25,000 budget allocation; staff and coaches indicated community interest and fiscal support that could reduce district spending in year one.
The board voted to approve a flag‑football program for St. Helena High School and considered a proposed $25,000 budget allocation to launch the program. Trustee Lisa Pelosi introduced the funding proposal and moved that the board approve $25,000; Trustee Shawn Moura seconded the motion and the board approved it unanimously.
Principal Scinto and Coach Brandon Farrell told trustees there is community interest and potential private fiscal support that could limit district expenditures in the program’s first year. Staff noted the district may not need the full allocation initially if outside contributions materialize; the $25,000 figure is the budget proposal presented for board approval at this meeting.
Trustees approved the motion; the item will move to implementation planning with staff and coaches to finalize program details and any community fundraising arrangements.
