Consent Agenda Subject : 7.28 Request Permission to Apply for McWane Foundation Grant for Southside Primary School, presented by Debra Haan, Principal, Southside Primary School, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Jun 12, 2017 - Regular Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Fiscal Impact : Yes Dollar Amount : $30,000.00 Budgeted : No Budget Source : McWane Foundation Grant Recommended Action : Motion to approve the McWane Foundation Grant Application for Southside Primary School. Public Content If Southside Primary School is awarded the McWane Foundation Grant, the school would use the funds to purchase and install awnings over three playground areas located at our school campus. The goal of the shading/awning would be to provide relief from the Florida sun during Spring, Summer, and Fall months for PreK-D, VPK, and Primary Elementary students. Shading would change the student’s thermal comfort from hot to warm, decreasing exposure from direct sunlight. Shading can actually make the temperature feel 10 to 15 degrees cooler. Several students in PreK-D have physical disabilities. Where every child needs outdoor physical stimulation, PreK-D students (specifically) do not need to have extreme sun exposure or risk the chance of heat exhaustion. Shading would allow them the opportunities to practice gross motor activities, and stay guarded from the Florida sunrays. The estimated cost is $24,250 but we are submitting the grant for $30,000 to cover any unforeseen cost. Any leftover funds would be used to purchase additional awnings throughout the school. Our expectation of the McWane Foundation Grant , once submitted and approved, is to complete the project during the summer of 2017. As soon as the grant funds are available, the principal, Mrs. Haan, will contact Chris Burchfield (owner of We Can Shade It) and schedule the installation. He informed us the process would take no more than two weeks to complete. We anticipate the awnings to be ready before the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. The grant application has been reviewed and approved by Ms. Scallan and Mr. McInnis.
