The Carl Sandburg Board of Trustees during its regular monthly meeting approved the acceptance of a $312,480 grant for the TRIO Upward Bound program for fiscal year 2023. Sandburg, which has hosted a TRIO Upward Bound program since 1999, was recently awarded a continuation grant for the federally funded program that assists high school students as they transition into post-secondary education. The new grant cycle for Sandburg’s TRIO Upward Bound program runs from 2022-27.
The Board also passed a resolution commemorating Juneteenth as an official holiday that recognizes the end of slavery in the United States. In accordance with state and federal holidays, Sandburg will observe the celebration each June 19. All campuses will be closed on that date or on another workday if the holiday falls on a weekend. Sandburg’s observance of Juneteenth this year will take place Friday, June 17.
