Board approves full-day, year-round childcare partnership

What happened

The Board unanimously approved a Learning Grove program at Newport Primary and a three-year early-learning partnership backed by $60,000 from EducateNKY.

Why it matters to families

The program adds full-day, full-year childcare at a district school and commits district space and operating support while an outside partner funds and runs the program.

The evidence

Approved July 8 minutes and the agreements show $52,000 for operations and $8,000 for capital or startup costs; the district supplies rent-free space, utilities, maintenance, custodial support and meals.
