July 8, 2024 at 6:00 PM - Special Meeting

Description:  Audience participation at a Board meeting is limited to the portion
of the meeting designated to receive public comment in accordance
with this policy. At all other times during a Board meeting, the
audience shall not enter into discussion or debate on matters being
considered by the Board, unless requested by the presiding officer.

At all other Board meetings, public comment shall be limited to
items on the agenda posted with notice of the meeting.

Individuals who wish to participate during the portion of the meeting
designated for public comment shall sign up with the presiding
officer or designee before the meeting begins as specified in the
Board’s procedures on public comment and shall indicate the
agenda item or topic on which they wish to address the Board.
Public comment shall occur at the beginning of the meeting.
Except as permitted by this policy and the Board’s procedures on
public comment, an individual’s comments to the Board shall not
exceed two(2) minutes per meeting.

Specific factual information or recitation of existing policy may be
furnished in response to inquiries, but the Board shall not deliberate
or decide regarding any subject that is not included on the
agenda posted with notice of the meeting.

Description:  A consent agenda is an item listed on the regular agenda that groups routine items under one agenda heading.  This allows the Board to take a unified motion and action on all routine items listed under the consent agenda instead of taking separate votes on each item.

Description:  Textbooks are being purchased using special state funds (IMA/CTE) and all procurement decision-making processes have been followed, but as required by Board Policy, the procurement of anything over $50,000 requires board approval.

The district textbook adoption team of 18 staff members including teachers, leadership, and the curriculum director evaluated all state-approved textbook options for the current science adoption and
determined through careful consideration to adopt SAVAAS for K-8 ($90,878), Pasco for Physics ($32,690), National Geographic for Chemistry, Environmental Science (CTE), Forensics (CTE), Biology and
Anatomy($48,812), and Activate Learning for IPC ($19,430). The total adoption amount is $191,809. The only quote within the adoption that is over the 50,000 threshold is for the K-8 SAVAAS portion and it
is $90,878.

Description:  We used the RFP procurement process, along with the interlocal purchasing options, and received 5 proposals for the project.  The proposals were evaluated and Buchanan Fence company was the selected vendor.

The project is over the Superintendent purchasing authority of $50K so it requires board approval to proceed. 

Description:  The RFP process was used for the selection of a vendor for the wearable Panic Alarm System which will also be funded by the SAFE Cycle 1 grant. At the time that the agenda needed to be released, proposals were still being evaluated.  The work needs to begin as soon as possible but since the amount will exceed 50K, the purchase of the system requires Board approval.  The documents and the recommendation will be provided Monday.
