Citing “great pride and a deep sense of responsibility,” Carroll Electric Membership Corporation has donated $97,500 to Carroll County Schools to be used for school safety initiatives.
CEMC President/CEO Tim Martin attended the Carroll County Board of Education meeting April 17 to present the check and read a letter expressing the desire of CEMC’s board of directors to aid local schools in their continued pursuit of a safe and secure learning environment for both students and educators.
“We are honored to partner with Carroll County Schools in a shared mission to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for all students,” Martin said. “It is our hope that this donation will contribute meaningfully to that mission and support any measures deemed necessary to enhance the safety infrastructure and preparedness across your schools.”
The Carroll County Board of Education shared its thanks with Martin and the CEMC board for their steadfast community support and strong sense of partnership.
Martin said the donation is generated from unclaimed capital credits and does not impact cost for current EMC customers.
“As a member-owned cooperative, Carroll EMC is committed to serving not just the energy needs of our members, but the broader well-being of the communities we call home,” Martin said. “Our Board recognizes that the safety and security of students, faculty, and staff are vital to the success and sustainability of our region.”
