Furthermore, he said, the board during the next budgeting cycle will be able to continue or cut the programs based on the financial situation of the district. At Williams’ request school district attorney Michael Marlow was consulted on his interpreta- tion of the policy.

Williams’ inquired for clarifica- tion that there are no hidden costs or fees attached to the gift. Business manager Jason Bietz ex- plained the amounts raised were based on last year’s participation and cost numbers, and there are no expectations of additional hid- den costs or fees associated with the reinstatement of the programs. Following all discussion, the board voted unanimously to ac- cept both the $85,000 donation to reinstate seven seventh and eighth grade activities.
