Board approves multiple youth and school services contracts, including Kids Orchestra and BRYC
Summary
Trustees approved professional services contracts for after‑school and ACT services: Kids Orchestra ($445,000) and BRYC ($681,093), plus smaller contracts for behavioral health records and visitor management.
The board approved several professional services contracts on the consent/consideration agenda.
Major contracts approved: The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board approved a $445,000 professional services contract with Kids Orchestra to provide an after‑school program (funding: general fund) and a $681,093 contract with BRYC to provide ACT preparation and advising services across 10 high schools (funding: supplemental course allocation). Both items were called for a roll call and the board voted to approve the contracts.
Other contracts and approvals: The board also approved a contract with August Schools Incorporated for an electronic behavioral health record platform (not to exceed $74,340, funding: IDEA / ECF or listed funding source in agenda), and authorized a visitor management agreement with Navigate360 in the amount of $98,532 for a district visitor management system. Staff said the visitor‑management policy item (K G – Visitors to schools) accompanied the Navigate360 contract; a trustee clarified she had sponsored the policy, while staff recommended the vendor.
Board process and votes: Each contract was moved, seconded and approved by roll call; staff confirmed there were no online public comments on these items. The board recorded the outcomes as "motion carries" for each item.
Ending: Contracts were authorized subject to the standard contracting process and funding sources identified on the agenda; staff will execute and implement the programs.
