The El Segundo Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously Oct. 28 to accept several monetary gifts to the district, including a $225,000 donation from Chevron Products Company that will be used districtwide.

The board clerk read the donations into the record under Board of Education Policy 3290, which allows acceptance of gifts provided they do not conflict with the Education Code or other public laws. The gifts announced were: $225,000 from Chevron Products Company for districtwide use; $18,914.37 from the Center Street School PTA designated for Center Street School; and $2,000 from Vergy West LLC for districtwide use. After the clerk read the donations, a board member moved to accept the gifts as read, the motion was seconded and the board voted 5to0 to approve the acceptance.

The vote was recorded as unanimous; the board president called for the student representatives preferential vote during the roll-call and the measure passed. No additional conditions or restrictions on the funds were announced during the reading.

The clerk referenced Board of Education Policy 3290 in presenting the donations, noting the districts obligation to ensure gifts do not conflict with state law. The board took no further public discussion on the donations before the vote.

The board approved the consent agenda and other routine business later in the meeting.
