Extends SERP's chemistry curriculum work to July 2020; memo cites $80,000 in Koshland grant funding

This amendment extends the agreement with the Strategic Education Research Partnership Institute (SERP), which is helping develop a year-long high school chemistry curriculum, from July 31, 2019 to July 31, 2020. The amendment document itself changes only the term. The district memo cites $80,000 in Koshland Foundation grant funding for the part-time science specialist, and the grant award letter lists $80,000 for the 2019-20 school year, so this appears to be the next year's installment rather than a restatement, though the documents do not say so outright.

Discrepancy from the official text. The official text accepts an $80,000 grant award in an item titled as an extension of time, without saying whether it is new money or the original grant restated; the signed amendment itself changes only the term. (Confirmed by a reviewer.)
