Summary

The Union County Public Schools Curriculum Committee voted 4-0 to forward several sole-source purchase requests — including Safe and Civil Schools, Career Safe LLC, SolidProfessor, VEX Robotics, Project Lead The Way, Skillstruck and a certification vendor listed as Certiport then corrected to Sentiport — to the full board for consideration.

On May 28 the Union County Public Schools Curriculum Committee voted 4-0 to forward a set of sole-source purchase requests to the full school board, covering teacher training, safety and career-technical education (CTE) supports.

Committee chair introduced the package of sole-source items. Staff said the requests include Safe and Civil Schools for training and support for schools; Career Safe LLC to support OSHA certification offerings through CTE; SolidProfessor for drafting courses; VEX Robotics Incorporated for district robotics competitions; Project Lead The Way for state-adopted CTE courses and teacher training; and Skillstruck to support Python programming courses and supplemental resources for middle school computer science teachers.

Staff also said the district uses a certification vendor to support Microsoft, Adobe and drafting certifications; in the meeting staff referenced Certiport and then corrected the name to Sentiport. Committee members asked no substantive questions before voting to forward each sole-source request to the full board by voice vote, recorded as 4-0 in favor.

These committee votes formally forward the procurement requests for full-board consideration; they do not constitute final contract awards. Staff indicated presenters for several items were available to answer questions at the full-board meeting. The committee’s next meeting is scheduled for June 25 at 10 a.m. via Zoom.
