Nonprofit offers roughly $500,000 match for Stony Creek community‑schools proposal
Summary
The board heard a proposal to partner with MACC (Ministerial Association of Colusa County) to provide mental‑health and family supports; MACC executive director Jason McMullan told the board MACC "has generously offered to provide the 33% match required for the Community Schools program, which equates to just under $500,000." Kno’Quoti Native Wellness expressed support.
The Stony Creek Joint Unified School District board discussed Jan. 21 a proposed Community Schools Partnership Program and a potential local nonprofit partnership to deliver mental‑health, social‑emotional supports, a food pantry, clothing closet and family classes.
Superintendent/Principal Emily Pendell introduced the Community Schools concept and noted that MACC (Ministerial Association of Colusa County) has offered to partner with the district. MACC Executive Director Jason McMullan told the board that MACC "has generously offered to provide the 33% match required for the Community Schools program, which equates to just under $500,000." Kyle Bill, Executive Director of Kno’Quoti Native Wellness, Inc., spoke in support and provided a letter backing the proposal.
Pendell described the proposed program as offering services to students and families with an aim to make the initiative sustainable within five years through a reimbursement process described by MACC. The minutes identify MACC’s offer of a matching contribution as a central factor in the board’s discussion; the record does not show a formal board vote to accept the partnership offer at the meeting, nor does it set a timeline or list specific contractual steps.
