Board approves health inspections contract for summer feeding program and textbook service modification, clears consent agenda
Summary
The State Board approved a contract with the Mississippi State Department of Health to inspect summer feeding programs and a modification to a Tennessee Book Company contract for textbook inventory management, and it approved the meeting consent agenda.
The State Board of Education approved two contracts and the meeting consent agenda during its Jan. 16 session.
Contracts approved: - Mississippi State Department of Health: the board approved a contract under which the Department of Health will provide inspections for the department's summer feeding programs statewide. The contract was presented under the chief operations office items. - Tennessee Book Company: the board approved a modification to the existing contract with Tennessee Book Company, the vendor that provides the department's textbook inventory management system.
Board action: a motion to approve the two contract items passed on a voice vote during the contracts portion of the meeting. The board later moved to approve the consent agenda, which passed by voice vote after a member requested the consent items be approved as presented.
Why it matters: the summer feeding inspection contract assigns the public-health inspections that support federal and state child nutrition and summer meal programs; the textbook-inventory modification affects the department's management of textbook assets and related services. The consent agenda included multiple routine departmental items distributed to board members in advance.
Sources and attribution: presentation of the contract items was made under the Office of the Chief Operations Officer; staff introduced the contracts and the board approved them by voice vote.
