Kemp ISD approves application for JET Grant to buy CNA equipment with 5% district match
Summary
Kemp ISD trustees approved submitting an application for a JET Grant to purchase equipment for a Certified Nursing Assistant program, with a district fund-balance match of 5%; the motion passed unanimously Jan. 27, 2025.
Trustees voted 7-0 on Jan. 27, 2025 to approve staff submitting a JET Grant application to purchase state-of-the-art equipment for the district's Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program. Trustee Regina Kiser made the motion and Trustee Matt (Matthew) Gross seconded; the transcript records the outcome as "7 Approved. 0 Against. Motion Passes." The approval explicitly includes a district fund-balance match of 5% to support the grant application.
The decision authorizes administrative action to pursue external grant funding to equip the CNA program; the transcript does not include the requested grant amount, timeline for application, or plan for long-term maintenance and staffing related to the equipment purchase. District staff will need to follow grant-application steps and allocate the 5% match from fund balance if the award is offered.
