Agenda Item Summary:
|
On January 4th, Alexandria City Public Schools received a donation from Amazon of 6,680 classic edition books for ACPS middle and high school students, valued at $44,707. 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:
|
In December, 2020, Amazon reached out to the Office of Community Partnerships and Engagement to offer 44 Amazon Classic Title selections for our students. The Office of Community Partnerships and Engagement connected the opportunity to the ACPS Teaching, Learning and Leadership Team (K-12 Literacy) and they collaborated with Amazon to secure 6,680 total units from the list of available titles. The 6,680 books will be received, sorted and distributed throughout our middle and high school locations for libraries and classroom utilization.

Recommendation:

The Superintendent recommends that the School Board accept the donation of 6,680 classic edition books for ACPS middle and high school students, valued at $44,707.
