Board accepts $?# in community donations and grants supporting student programs
Summary
The LE SUEUR‑HENDERSON School Board approved a resolution accepting multiple community donations and grants including PTO funds for field trips, a rotary donation for an elementary book vending machine, and gifts supporting athletics and summer programs.
The school board read and approved a resolution listing recent donations and grants from community groups and individuals. The resolution—the board said—ensures the district will control and maintain grants to meet student needs; the items read aloud included an Elementary PTO gift of $2,218.50 for K–5 field trips, an $8,640 donation from the Leesuir rotary club for an elementary book vending machine, and a $3,500 gift for softball, among other smaller donations.
“As always, we can't do it without our community,” one board member said during the recognition item as the board moved to accept the gifts. The motion to accept the donations and grants was made, seconded and approved by roll call; the chair announced the motion carried 6–0.
The resolution lists multiple small donors to preschool and program support, booster‑club contributions, and community groups supporting summer programming and book buddies. The board recorded the acceptance formally so administration can control and allocate the funds for the purposes listed in the resolution.
