The Gillingham Charter School Board of Trustees approved a field study bank account from Gratz Bank at their meeting Thursday night.
“It would be pretty much used for when teachers collect money from students so we have a place to put it. Right now, it’s just going into different accounts,” Rachel Bensinger, director of organizational development, said.
The account is a separate one for things like upcoming field trips.
The money will stay locally unless it reaches the maximum amount of $500, but Bensinger doesn’t think it will have that much.
In other business, spring break was revised to be April 3 to 8.
If school is closed due to winter weather today, spring break will then be April 3 to 7, Nicolle Hutchinson, CEO and director of education, said.
April 3, Good Friday, will not be taken away from students, she added.
