A Geary County employee task force conducted a Youth Fundraiser 4-man golf scramble in October that resulted in a $4,730 contribution to the McKinney-Vento program. The check was presented at the USD 475 Board of Education meeting Monday night.

This is a state program that helps remove barriers from students in schools to allow them to be successful.

The Board learned that the funds will help many students and their families get into homes and it will help with such things as their rent, electric and water bills.
