Board accepts $1,500 donation to fund Liberty Hall Museum student presentation
Summary
The board accepted a $1,500 donation from the Seniors for a Democratic Society at Four Seasons Great Notch to pay for a Liberty Hall Museum presentation for one grade level; a local homeowner association representative spoke in favor of the donation.
The Woodland Park Board of Education voted to accept a $1,500 donation from the Seniors for a Democratic Society at Four Seasons Great Notch to fund a student presentation by the Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University. The donation is earmarked to pay for one grade level’s participation; the Superintendent will determine which grade level receives the program.
The resolution (226‑150) recites the borough’s Revolutionary War history and the donors’ intent to support local history education. The board approved the finance motion that included the donation as part of finance agenda items; the motion passed by roll call (5 YES).
Michael Sica, identified in the minutes as "President of Four Seasons Homeowners Association," spoke during the public comment period in favor of the resolution and said he was "very happy that the committee was able to join forces with the BOE and fund this program" (minutes paraphrase). The minutes state the donors raised $1,500 and directed the funds to a student presentation by Liberty Hall Museum.
The resolution authorizes the Board Secretary to send a letter of thanks and authorizes the Superintendent, Business Administrator/Board Secretary and Board Attorney to take actions necessary to effectuate acceptance of the gift.
