Board accepts in-kind court paving donation and $600 scholarship fund gift; approves two early graduations
Summary
Board accepted an in-kind donation from Milestone for elementary court paving and a $600 donation from the Jed Cummings Scholarship Fund; it also approved two high-school students for early graduation as seven-semester graduates and discussed corresponding funding rules.
The board accepted two donations and approved early-graduation requests during the meeting.
District staff said Milestone donated labor and materials to pave the elementary basketball court (in-kind; no monetary value provided) and the Jed Cummings Scholarship Fund donated $600 to the Eastern Greene Middle School 7th-8th grade cheer team. "We appreciate Milestone for the improvements to the basketball court," the staff member said as the board approved acceptance of both donations.
As a late agenda item the board approved two high-school students to graduate early as seven-semester graduates. Staff explained funding consequences: the state provides funding when a student graduates at six semesters, but seven-semester graduates receive a different funding treatment; staff said the district gets the first-semester funding for certain early graduates and described how those funding rules will apply.
