Summary

Trustees voted unanimously to reallocate unused funds from the Adult Education Scholarship Fundraiser to a new Randy Cook Career Scholarship (final scholarship name to be set after Randy Cook's retirement). The fundraiser's success was summarized in a letter from Director of Adult Education Nikki Hart read by Superintendent Barry Simpson.

The Inyo County Board of Education voted June 11 to reallocate unused funds from the Adult Education Scholarship Fundraiser to establish the Randy Cook Career Scholarship, with the scholarship name to be finalized following Randy Cook’s retirement.

Superintendent Barry Simpson read a letter from Nikki Hart, Director of Adult Education, summarizing the fundraiser’s results and presenting the report for the board’s review. The board approved the reallocation by motion — recorded as "motion carried 4-0" — after the report was entered as information. The motion to reallocate was moved and seconded on the record and passed unanimously.

The action is administrative: the board redirected existing fundraiser proceeds to a named career scholarship rather than creating a new funding source. The transcript notes the naming will be finalized after Randy Cook’s retirement; the dollar amount of the reallocated funds was not specified in the meeting record.
