Prairie View council approves $800 back-to-school funding split between HT Jones and Prairie View A&M
Summary
After debate over whether to include university students, the council approved $800 from the community-outreach line—$400 for HT Jones Elementary and $400 for Prairie View A&M University programs—to supply backpacks and school supplies.
The Prairie View City Council approved a back-to-school initiative allocating $800 from the community-outreach budget for backpacks and supplies, split evenly between HT Jones Elementary and Prairie View A&M University.
Council member Williams moved to allocate $400 to HT Jones and $400 to the university; after discussion about whether university students are eligible for municipal charitable funds and confirmation from special counsel that the community-outreach line may be used at the council’s discretion, the motion passed by voice vote. The council discussed logistics for distribution and asked staff to coordinate with school and university contacts to ensure supplies reach students in need.
City staff indicated $4,800 remained in the community-development initiative line referenced during the discussion; the mayor and council asked the city secretary to coordinate drop-off details with the schools.
