Students present Democracy Project plan to build sandbox; board agrees to fund
Summary
Students in the Democracy Project asked the board to allow and accept a donated 10x10 sandbox with a latching cover and gravel base; the board member present moved to fund the sandbox and the motion carried.
Students participating in the Democracy Project presented a plan to build and donate a new sandbox at the elementary school. A presenter introduced the students and said the project’s goals are civic learning and improving play space for younger students; one student read a prepared statement describing the sandbox design and care plans.
One student (transcript S6) described the proposal: "This is a example picture of the sandbox. It is supposed to be a 10 by 10 foot ... It is supposed to have seeds inside it if kids want to sit down and play. There will be a lid, so no water and leaves can get inside." After questions about the cover and concerns about neighborhood cats, a board member (S2) moved that the district pay for the sandbox; the motion was acknowledged and accepted. The students said they would build and donate the structure and bring drawings for the board and staff to review.
