|
|
| Presenter: |
Mr. Buresh
|
|
|
Description:
The Board voted to put this on the agenda last month with Cathy Foes making the motion and Nancy Goodman seconding it with all approving. In conversations with Jeff Johnson, Sunnyfield Nursery Owner, he has committed to full funding for this jr. high cross country cooperative in a meeting that he, Mr. Fenn, and I had on May 10th for 3 years. Transportation costs, which originally he was not in favor of paying, are estimated at $1,000. Mr. Fenn will be submitting an information sheet to be attached. One or both of them may come to the Board meeting to answer any questions you may have. I do appreciate Mr. Johnsons generosity to fully fund the cooperative program and include Annawan regardless of the outcome. The estimated cost of the program is less than $4,000.
RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending we approve this junior high cross country cooperative with Wethersfield for multiple reasons providing there is NO COST to the District. |
