Action Item
Rationale:
We consort Perkins dollars with a number of ESU #2 schools, Cheryl Kreikmeier oversees the grant and has a panel of administrators to assist in determining how monies are spent. I have participated on the panel for the last three years. Schools submit requests to be approved in the spring, yet ordering can not take place until October. This year, Roy Wright will receive an Electronic Raceway, which roughly cost $1,615 with the grant funds. DJ Mottl will receive a Toshiba Printer, which is used for making tags for plants in the greenhouse. The cost of this item was $5,007.50 Katie Wright will receive RealityWorks Employability Skills Cards. |
VI.B.b. ReVision Grant
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Rationale:
Mrs. Alyssa Nelson, Mrs. Wright, and myself are slated to tour neighboring districts which have recently updated their Family Consumer Science kitchens. From hearing the discussions of the board, I know this is an avenue the Board of Education would like to pursue. In speaking with Cheryl from the ESU#2, we would be able to apply for a ReVision Grant through Perkins with this project. The grant can be funded up to $100,000, and be used to assist in furnishing the room with movable equipment and supplies, as well as professional development. We are just in the beginning stages as the grant is not even open yet, and is not due till March.
