Accepts $100,000 from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund to help graduates into training or college

The district is accepting a $100,000 grant from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund to support graduating students who will enroll in a training program or community college and be certified for paid work. The High School Linked Learning Office will run it. The award letter sets the grant period as August 1, 2024 through September 1, 2025, though the agenda text says March 8, 2024 through March 7, 2025. This appears to be the same grant as item 24-2057.

Discrepancy from the official text. Items 24-2057 and 24-2080 describe the same single $100,000.00 Walter & Elise Haas Fund grant (WEHF-20240227, award letter of August 1, 2024), so the grant appears to be listed twice on the agenda; 24-2080 also gives a grant period (March 8, 2024 through March 7, 2025) that differs from the award letter's August 1, 2024 through September 1, 2025. (Confirmed by a reviewer.)
