Agenda Item Summary:
|
On December 14th, Alexandria City Public Schools received a donation of $150,000 from Amazon to support ACPS identified students that continue to need child/full-day school care. In accordance with ACPS Policy KH and Regulation KH-R, any donation over $2,500 requires School Board approval. The donation must meet the established standards of acceptance requirements.
|
|
Background:
|
With the continuation of the ACPS Virtual PLUS+ model of instruction, the opportunity for child care/school day care for our most vulnerable families continues to be needed in a virtual education environment. To help address this need, ACPS and multiple Virtual PLUS+ partners, collaborated to create a full day free care program at multiple sites for identified students. Amazon’s donation will support the ability for ACPS to continue the care program for our families.

Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board accept the donation to ACPS in the amount of $150,000.
