The Fraser Board of Education accepted a $100,000 donation from the family of Delia Martin and described how the gift has been allocated to support classroom projects and performing arts equipment.
Dr. Carrie Wozniak, superintendent, told the board the estate gift funded mini‑grants at Disney Elementary (a sensory room) and Richards Middle School (a student art display case). She said half of the donation was directed to the district's performing arts department and has been used so far to purchase sound systems for Fraser High School band and choir classrooms.
The presentation followed updates from district instructional leaders. Kyle Ray, director of secondary instruction; Katie Mulligan, director of elementary instruction; and Jane Sturgell, special education director, presented the district's 2025 state assessment data and discussed instructional implications and next steps for supporting students across grade bands. The board packet included the detailed assessment materials shown to trustees.
The combined recognition of the gift and the assessment presentation highlighted district priorities on student supports and instructional resources. No formal vote was required to accept the donation in the minutes beyond the superintendent's recognition; budgetary and programmatic allocations related to the gift were reported as having been applied to mini‑grants and performing arts purchases.
Next steps: district leadership indicated further program-level planning and implementation will follow as needed based on assessment findings and site needs.
