Mason board meets Thursday
No, you haven’t missed anything in Mason schools. The Mason City Schools board of education did not meet Tuesday, June 24. Instead, the district moved the meeting to Thursday, June 26. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Mason High School, 6100 Mason-Montgomery Road.
On the agenda: Expected board approval of a transfer of about $60,000 from the Ken and Joan Campbell Trust to the newly formed Mason Schools Foundation. The foundation was established last year to provide grant money to the teachers in the district for projects and other activities to promote academic, artistic and athletic excellence in students.
Grant monies will be used for activities that go “above and beyond the scope of the district’s budget and offer unique depth and breadth to our students’ educational experience,” organizers said.
The foundation will also connect alumni and be a place to give back to the district.
I’ll have more on this in Thursday’s Pulse-Journal and on pulsejournal.com.
