District outlines $24,000 Safer Routes to School grant spending plan
Summary
Interim Superintendent reported the Safer Routes to School grant is in phase two and that the district will need to spend $24,000: $18,000 for a coordinator and $6,000 for student incentives to encourage walking and bicycling.
Interim Superintendent Jim Kitchen reported July 21 that the Safer Routes to School grant is now in phase two and the district will need to spend $24,000 as part of the program. He said the district planned to allocate $18,000 to a coordinator and $6,000 for incentives intended to encourage walking or bicycling to school during the coming year.
Kitchen described the expenditures as part of an active-transportation effort; the transcript does not provide the grant’s total award amount, timeline for coordinator hire, or the specific structure of the incentive program. The board was informed of the planned allocations and no vote was recorded on the expenditure during the July 21 meeting.
Next steps: the district will develop implementation details for the coordinator and incentive program and will return with specifics or contracting needs as required by grant administration and district purchasing rules.
