SANTA ANA : Trustees to Consider Uses for State Grant
Santa Ana Unified School District trustees tonight will consider how to spend $2.3 million in state grant money.
A district report recommends that the largest chunk, $1.37 million, be used for textbooks and other instructional materials.
“The school board has directed that the funds be as close to the students as possible,” Deputy Supt. John Bennett said. “A textbook in a student’s hand--you couldn’t get much closer.”
The next-largest block of money, $610,000, should be spent on new equipment and other capital improvements, according to the report, and the remainder should go for office equipment and music, sports and science programs.
The onetime state grant was awarded to school districts based on average daily attendance for the 1994-95 school year, with $50 given for each student.
