Mon BOE: Summer Sizzler, Avalanche to Continue Next Year
People who manage money for school districts aren’t necessarily accustomed to receiving applause on the record. However, that’s exactly what Nicole Kemper experienced during Tuesday night’s meeting of the Monongalia County Board of Education.
The treasurer, Kemper, announced that the popular Summer Sizzler and Summer Avalanche learning enrichment programs would be funded next June and July, as they had been for the prior four years.
“I know that’s important to the board,”
she said. Board member Shawn Smith responded, grinning:
“Now I don’t have to worry about trying to hit the lottery,”
Sweeping federal cuts to the U.S. had raised concerns about the programs' funding.
