Agenda Item
ii. Donation Acceptance of $13,500 to Indian Creek Elementary School
Summary: Presented by: Mrs. Jennifer Caracciolo, Interim Chief of Community Engagement & Innovative Partnerships, Division of Community Engagement & Innovative Partnerships
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education accept the donation of $13,500 from Ms. Christine Decastro to purchase 75 bulletin boards to be installed outside each classroom at Indian Creek ES. These boards will serve as a space to showcase exemplary student work that is aligned to content standards, offering visual examples of the high-quality learning taking place in our classrooms.
Why: Providing an organized framework to showcase standards-based expectations-complete with rubrics and constructive feedback-will allow visitors, including parents and stakeholders, to observe varying levels of student understanding.
Details: With donation 75 cork boards will be purchased and will measure 6' x 4' and will be displayed in the hallway outside of each classroom.
Financial impact: The cost of the project totals $13,500 (75 boards at $180 each). This donation will fully cover the expense, resulting in no cost to the district.
