Board approves fundraiser for Veterans Memorial Park ‘Legacy of Freedom’ museum
Summary
Angela Norris presented a plan to involve students across the county in fundraising for the Legacy of Freedom Military Museum at Veterans Memorial Park; the board approved the fundraiser after Norris described student engagement and long-term project scope.
Angela Norris (S8), representing Veterans Memorial Park of America, described plans for the Legacy of Freedom Military Museum and sought board approval for a school-based fundraising campaign. Norris said previous school efforts had contributed substantially to the park and proposed involving students countywide; she estimated the museum project would exceed $4,000,000 and described recognition plans for student donors.
"If they participate and they're at 100%, their name is gonna go inside our museum," Norris said, describing incentives for student participation. The superintendent recommended approval of the fundraiser and the board approved the item by voice vote; school principals will receive information and the district will support communications as appropriate.
