The board agreed to match competitive grants received by schools as an impetus to seek "free money," as Mr. Bridges put it.
"I want people to take the incentive to find these grants," he said. "They can actually participate in getting some things done for their school that they really want."
Euchee Creek Elementary School received the largest matching grant of $5,000, after scoring a $35,000 grant earlier this year from HP Technology for computer equipment. |
