Meeting : Sep 8, 2016 - Workshop Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Fiscal Impact : Yes Dollar Amount : $30,000.00 Recommended Action : Motion to approve the Campbell Grant Application for Elliott Point Elementary School, in the amount of $30,000.00. Public Content Mr. Don Campbell is a private donor who enjoys helping others through financial support. Elliott Point Elementary has been connected with Mr. Campbell through a personal relationship with a stakeholder. Mr. Campbell shared his process for consideration- "The way my foundation works is that people submit proposals usually from organizations and then I act on them. If I decide I want to fund the proposal then I ask my Board for approval which I usually receive. Before sending you the information on how to submit a proposal, I would like to hear a little bit about what your proposal would cover so that I can decide if it you should submit a proposal. If necessary I would be willing to talk to you about it on the phone. I wait to hear from you." After speaking with Mr. Campbell and sharing the demographics and needs of Elliott Point, he had his attorney, Ms. Nancy Kuhn, send us the grant application. Ms. Kuhn informed us that Mr. Campbell was prepared to entertain a proposal for $30,000.00 to assist our school. Looking to make the best use of the gift, we decided on technology for the lower grades. Dustin Keith assisted us with deciding on iPads, cases, keyboards, mice, and charging stations. iPads were chosen over other forms of technology due to no recurring costs to keep them in use. Grades K-2 were chosen to receive 5 iPads per classroom. At this time, a lack of technology is a major concern at Elliott Point. Grades K-2 were chosen to increase digital literacy at a young age. Currently, technology is slim in these classrooms.The equipment cost is just shy of $30,000. I have had Mr. McInnis review the proposal and also the attorney's statement of expectations of the support. Ms. Kuhn provided this response - "we require a report verifying that the funds were spent for educational and/or charitable purposes. The report is due within one year of the grant award date. The Board of the Campbell Family Foundation appreciates pictures and a narrative, showing and explaining the use of the grant funds. In addition, financial information detailing expenditures is expected." Mr. Campbell prefers to stay out of the limelight as much as possible.
