Board formally accepts $3.4 million SIA grant tied to adopted budget
Summary
Board members voted to accept the district's Student Investment Account (SIA) grant totaling $3.4 million; the superintendent said the amount is already reflected in the approved budget but the state requires formal acceptance.
The Milton-Freewater Unified School District 7 board moved to accept the district’s Student Investment Account (SIA) grant, which staff cited at $3.4 million.
A board member noted the SIA dollars are part of the district budget already but that state procedures require a formal vote to accept the grant. "Our SIA grant is $3.4 million," the board member said during discussion. The board moved and seconded acceptance; a voice vote followed and the motion carried.
The superintendent said that although the state circulated multiple "reduction plan" renditions in response to projected shortfalls, nothing in that set of scenarios represented an immediate cut this school year; some grants could be reduced or eliminated under certain future scenarios and the district would monitor legislative action next month.
Board members recorded no detailed roll-call tallies in the public transcript; outcome was entered in the meeting record as approved so staff can proceed with grant administration.
