Board approves retroactive Silvergate home-instruction agreement after student placed on home/hospital instruction
Summary
The board approved an academic-instruction agreement with Silvergate Prep that began April 10 and runs through June 13; staff said the contract was created after a student was placed on home/hospital instruction so the district could pay for services.
The board approved an academic-instruction agreement with Silvergate Prep that, according to the contract, is effective April 10, 2025 through June 13, 2025. Trustee questioning prompted staff to explain why the item was being approved after the start date.
A board member asked why the district was approving the agreement only at this meeting when the contract period began April 10. A staff member responded: “The student was placed in the... home hospital instruction, and so we didn't know the student was placed there. So we didn't have a contract to be able to a viable method to pay them for it. So we had to create a contract in order to be able to pay them for the services for the home instruction.”
The grouped action-items motion that included the Silvergate agreement passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded on the transcript.
Why this matters: The agreement was approved retroactively to cover instructional services for a student placed on home/hospital instruction; the board’s question and staff response clarify the administrative reason for the late approval.
