Board delays plan for a job-training and support center for young adults

What happened

The district is considering a center at 1025 Second Avenue. It could offer job training, housing help, and other support to young adults who have trouble finding stable housing or work. The board moved the item to its September 9 meeting. It was not approved on August 26.

Why it matters to families

The center could give older students and young adults a new place to get job and housing help. But the full plan and total cost are still unclear. The next planned discussion is September 9.

The evidence

In the official meeting video, the board president says the item will return on September 9. During public comments, speakers asked to see an earlier study of the project. They also mentioned about $732,000 set aside for one part of the work and another amount for a later part.
