County hears school-district MOU could unlock internships and grant opportunities

Ottawa County Commission · April 10, 2026

Summary

A presenter told commissioners the USD board will consider an MOU on April 13 that would let the county and district apply jointly for Ottawa County Community Foundation grants and plan student internships; the county will confirm parcel addresses and keep commissioners updated.

Presenter (speaker 3) told the Ottawa County Commission the school board would take up a memorandum of understanding at its April 13 meeting and that, if the board approves it, the county and district could apply jointly for grants and begin planning internships. "Once the board approves it, ... we can kinda work together and apply for grants this cycle for the Ottawa County Community Foundation," the presenter said.

Commissioners focused on administrative details before any grant work could proceed, including whether the buildings in question are on one parcel or several. The presenter said she would work with the county clerk and the register of deeds to confirm the official addresses used in the MOU. She added that, depending on timing, internships might not start until the January term. Commissioners asked to be kept informed and the presenter said she would "communicate with county commission and keep you updated as we move forward."
