Darlington board accepts small donations for athletics and food service
Summary
The Darlington Community School District board accepted three donations — $10 from the Optimist Club earmarked for the DHS girls basketball program, an anonymous $100 for Food Service, and $25 from Southwest Health for the DHS athletic department — during its Aug. 25 special meeting.
The Darlington Community School District Board of Education voted Aug. 25 to accept three donations to district programs, the board minutes show.
The board approved a $10 donation from the Optimist Club, described in the minutes as representing time worked by Adeline Riechers at the Cheese Curd stand during the 2025 Lafayette County Fair, to the DHS Girls Basketball Program. The board also accepted an anonymous $100 donation to the Food Service Program and $25 from Southwest Health (from WIAA physical days) to the DHS Athletic Department. Each motion was moved and seconded (motions recorded as moved by King and seconded by Gratz) and the minutes record that the motions carried.
The donations are recorded in the minutes as supporting school extracurriculars and food service; the amounts are small and intended for program support. The minutes identify the recipients using the acronym “DHS” as written in the record; the minutes do not expand that acronym. The board’s acceptance of the gifts was approved without recorded dissent.
The minutes list the Optimist Club and Southwest Health as the named donors and note one anonymous donor. Motions accepting each donation are recorded as carried in the board minutes. The minutes do not provide additional detail on how the funds will be spent beyond the recipient program names.
