Board approves three‑year crossing‑guard contract pending attorney review
Summary
The board approved a three‑year contract, with an optional two‑year extension, for crossing‑guard services after bids were opened on July 10; approval is contingent on attorney review.
The Valley View School Board on Aug. 4 approved a three‑year contract for crossing‑guard services with an option for a two‑year extension, contingent upon legal review.
District staff said the district assumed responsibility for crossing‑guard services in 2020 and that the existing contract will expire this year. An invitation to bid was issued June 27, bids were opened July 10, and the administration recommended awarding a three‑year contract to the successful bidder with an optional two‑year extension. The board approved the recommendation by roll call vote; administration noted the approval is contingent on attorney review of the contract.
Why it matters: crossing guards are a district safety service at arrival and dismissal times; awarding a multiyear contract secures service continuity for the 2025–26 school year and beyond if the extension is exercised.
Details and next steps: administration did not provide the contract dollar amount in the informational presentation. The board’s approval was conditioned on attorney review before the contract is finalized.
Provenance: crossing-guard report and motion appear in the administration’s informational reports at roughly the 2178–2264 second marks of the transcript.
