Board agenda includes Job Corps partnership, placement agreements and voice/Cisco renewals
Summary
Administration proposed several consent‑agenda items: a Job Corps partnership (no district cost), updated out‑of‑district placement agreements for special education (BHA and Meridian Academy), a Cisco/Integra voice‑system renewal, and establishment of a high‑school student mental‑health club; those items were listed for board approval.
District staff reported several items slated for board approval that would affect student supports and technology services.
The items include a Job Corps partnership to refer eligible students (age 16–24) to the nearby Phillipsburg Job Corps center; staff said Job Corps funding covers the program and there is no cost to the district. Administrators also said they will present updated standard placement agreements with two commonly used out‑of‑district placements, BHA and Meridian Academy, to regularize terms and pricing annually.
The agenda also includes a third‑year payment for a three‑year Cisco maintenance/voice agreement with Integra that covers the district’s VoIP telephony, voicemail and Webex services. Administrators said the Integra agreement supports voice‑system maintenance and outage response.
Staff asked the board to establish a new high‑school student activity, the Synergy Club, focusing on mental and physical health promotion and peer information about wellbeing.
Administrators said these items will appear on the upcoming consent agenda for board approval.
