Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Office of Education to enter into a grant agreement with Learning InspirED to reimburse them for certain expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the grant agreement, for their work in organizing and leading a three-day Student-Led restorative Practice Training hosted at West High School in Columbus.
The purpose of this training was to equip students with the tools, skills, and confidence needed to lead restorative practices in their schools, promoting a culture of empathy, accountability, and belonging. This work aligns with the city’s broader commitment to community healing, youth empowerment, and reducing punitive discipline restorative practices.
Therefore, the Office of Education requests the authority to enter into a grant agreement with Learning InspirED to reimburse them for certain expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the grant agreement, for their work in organizing and leading a three-day Student-Led restorative Practice Training, important for the social and emotion needs of the youth and families of Columbus. The Office of Education requests the authority to enter into the grant agreement, and pay an upfront invoice immediately, as the work has already been completed and costs accrued.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this grant agreement, to reimburse Learning InspirED for certain expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the grant agreement, is available within the 2025 Mayor’s Office of Education General Fund budget.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency designation is requested because the work has already been completed and costs accrued.
