The board discussed the resolution required for applying for the Form A grant, which draws funding from a sales tax exemption granted to the Minnesota State High School League. Board members inquired about the district's history with the grant, its qualification criteria (like free and reduced lunch rates), and the potential sunsetting of the sales exemption, which could impact the grant's future. The role of booster clubs in assisting students with financial needs related to activities was also noted.
