Gila County agenda lists $7,838 for Young Public School summer youth jobs
Young Public School was listed for $7,838 in Gila County’s 2026 Summer Youth Work Employment Program, directing a planned county-funded summer employment opportunity toward the Young community.
The Gila County Board of Supervisors’ May 19, 2026, agenda recorded action to approve intergovernmental agreements for the program. Young Public School appeared in the agenda as a participating entity with the $7,838 allocation.
The program is planned for summer 2026 and is designed to support youth employment through participating communities and institutions. For students and other young people connected to Young Public School, the listing identifies a local pathway to summer work, although the available record does not say how many participants the Young allocation could support.
Funding listed for several communities
Young’s amount was one of several allocations included in the agenda. The Towns of Miami, Hayden and Winkelman were each listed for $23,514. Payson was listed for $15,676, and Hayden-Winkelman Unified School District was listed for $39,190.
The figures indicate that the planned program funding was assigned across multiple municipalities and school institutions. Young Public School’s $7,838 listing is the amount specifically connected to Young in the agenda; the packet does not describe the funds as payments made directly to individual students.
What the agenda does—and does not—establish
The May 19 agenda records an action to approve the intergovernmental agreements, but the available source does not show the final vote outcome. That distinction matters because the agenda identifies a proposed or pending approval action rather than providing a separate record confirming how the Board of Supervisors voted.
The source also does not specify the jobs that would be available, the program’s start dates, wage rates or the number of positions. It does not provide an application deadline or state that every young person in the community is eligible.
As a result, families and students do not yet have the practical details needed to determine what work may be offered, when it may begin, how much it may pay or how to apply. The $7,838 figure identifies the planned allocation tied to Young Public School, not a confirmed payment to a particular student or a confirmed number of jobs.
Next step for the summer program
The county’s planned next step is to implement the summer employment agreements with participating entities. The available packet does not provide a separate implementation schedule or application timeline.
The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension maintains a Gila County service page with county programming and service-area information relevant to Young. That page provides local institutional context but does not independently report the $7,838 allocation. The Gila County agenda remains the source for the Young-specific funding listing and the other amounts included in the program action.
