Summary
After an executive session limited to purchases, the APS Board of Education said it will continue evaluating RFP 26-016a, a student-outcomes focused governance framework coaching procurement; no formal vote or timeline was recorded in open session.
Board President Gonzales and board members reconvened to open session and confirmed the board will continue evaluating a request for proposals for governance coaching focused on student outcomes.
A staff member read a statement explaining the board had met in executive session “as authorized by the public meetings act and procurement code to discuss certain purchases,” and that “the matters discussed in the executive session were limited only to those specified.” The reading was made at the start of the open session and was included in the minutes, according to the board clerk’s remark.
Agenda item 10.4 addressed RFP 26-016a, described on the agenda as “student outcomes focused governance framework coaching.” During the open-session discussion, Board Member Jackson said, “So during the executive session, we did have a discussion and have decided that we are going to continue with the evaluation process.”
The board did not record a roll-call vote or announce a timeline for completing the evaluation during the open session. Following the brief confirmation to continue evaluation, the meeting moved directly to adjournment.
The board’s comments indicate the procurement remains under internal evaluation. The board did not offer additional details about the scope, estimated value, funding source, or next steps for the RFP in the portions of the meeting recorded in the minutes.
