District reports $340,129 grant award and nearly 79,000 summer meals distributed
Summary
Interim Superintendent Jim Kitchen reported the district received $340,129 from Grant 35M — about $100,000 more than needed for the Being A Reader program — and Food & Nutrition distributed 78,970 summer meals.
In his report to the board on Aug. 13, Interim Superintendent Jim Kitchen told trustees that Grant 35M provided $340,129 to the district — roughly $100,000 more than needed to purchase the Being A Reader literacy program — and that staff member Michelle Paul would work to apply the excess funds.
Kitchen also publicly recognized the district's Food & Nutrition Department, noting the department distributed 78,970 meals over the summer. The meeting record presents the grant amount and the meal total as informational items; no board action was required to accept the grant in the public minutes.
The minutes do not include an itemized plan for the extra grant funds or a timeline for purchasing the Being A Reader program; staff follow-up was noted in the report but not specified in the public record.
