Board presented $10,000 Title I literacy award to Gulf Regional Early Childhood Services for pre‑K classrooms

A staff member presented action item G41 proposing $10,000 from Title I funds to Gulf Regional Early Childhood Services to provide books and other materials to more than 1,000 pre‑K students.

"Action item g 41 is with Gulf Regional Early Childhood Services. It is to provide books and other materials for literacy development, to over a thousand, students in pre k classrooms. That's coming out of title 1 funds for $10,000 I ask that you approve action item g 41," the staff member said.

A board member moved to approve action items G41 through G60; another board member seconded the motion. The motion passed after an aye‑vote. The transcript records the motion to approve the block of items and the ensuing voice vote—"All in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed motion carries."—but does not provide a roll‑call tally by name for G41 specifically.

Why it matters: the Title I funds identified are federal funds targeted to disadvantaged students; the stated use is literacy materials for more than 1,000 pre‑K students served through a regional early‑childhood provider.
