$ 213,129.00 x 3

In July we applied for a State wide grant entitled “School District Management Efficiency Competitive Grant program. On Tuesday I was notified that Mineola is one of 16 school districts across the State that won this grant.  We are due to receive 213,129 for the next three years if we can continue to demonstrate our savings.  Our application was a narrative of the Mineola School District’s configuration.  It documented our journey, our savings to date and the ability to maintain (and add) academic programs.  The Board and I are happy to bring this additional revenue to our school district.  I will present additional information and some ideas for spending the money at the next Board Meeting on Thursday December 6.
