Ratifies $23,100 for Junior Center of Art and Science to teach art at Emerson Elementary

The Junior Center of Art and Science teaches students about contemporary artists and has them draw, paint, make collages and sculptures, ending with an art exhibition at Emerson Elementary School. The work ran from September 2023 to May 2024. The work began before the board's vote, so this is an after-the-fact approval.
