Summary: Presented by: Dr. Yolanda Williamson, Chief of Community Engagement & Innovative Partnerships, Division of Community Engagement & Innovative Partnerships
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education accept a donation per Board Policy DFK Gifts & Bequests of $10, 400 from the Evansdale Elementary Foundation/Parent Teacher Organization to fund transportation expenses for the 5th grade STEM Field trip to Jekyll Island (March 3-5, 2025).
Why: Due to the length of the field trip, Evansdale families would prefer charter transportation services and DCSD school buses do not travel further than 75 miles.
Details: Evansdale has secured transportation from Kelly Tours to provide charter bus service.
Financial impact: $10,400 is the amount of donated funds from Evansdale’s Foundation/Parent Teacher Organization.
