SEPTA awards teacher grants; board accepts $2,966.39 in donations
Summary
SEPTA presented multiple small grants to district teachers (sound-bath instruments, museum memberships, PT equipment, VR headsets, Best Buddies supplies) and the board accepted donations and increased budget codes by $2,966.39.
SEPTA leaders presented a slate of teacher grants and community fundraising results. Presenters described projects funded with SEPTA support: resonant sound-bath instruments for Jackson Elementary (to support social-emotional learning for roughly 500 students), a classroom "ancient Chinese museum" project, a $600 membership grant for Long Island Children's Museum visits, and smaller grants for PT equipment and Best Buddies arts supplies. "This grant is for $600 to fund the cost of two 6-person family-level year-long memberships to the Long Island Children's Museum," a presenter read while announcing one award.
Following the presentations, the board moved to accept the SEPTA grants and increase district budget codes by $2,966.39 to cover the awards. The board also accepted additional donations (Lowell Milken Center $1,000 for social studies, Jericho Middle School PTSA fence-cup funds, and a $1,000 NYSED award for the Jackson Math Olympiad). The motions were made, seconded, and carried on voice votes during the meeting.
