The board approved a funding agreement committing a total of $9,300 from district community-initiative funds to Grand Canyon Youth to support introductory one‑day kayaking expeditions for nine Title I Flagstaff schools and additional multi‑day trips for middle and high‑school students. Claire of Grand Canyon Youth told supervisors the group has served the Flagstaff area since 1998 and said the funding will help them serve "up to 300 youth in this next year with these... educational expeditions."
Supervisors praised the organization's long partnership with the county and encouraged volunteer participation. The motion to approve the agreement passed unanimously; staff said donors across the community help subsidize the trips for students who would otherwise lack access to outdoor education.
