Board approves sole‑source contract for virtual speech services used in district schools
Summary
Trustees approved a sole‑source contract for Huddle Up to continue virtual speech and language services that the district has used for three years to fill staffing gaps.
The board approved a sole‑source contract to continue virtual speech and language services with Huddle Up, which the district has used for three years to supplement in‑person providers.
Doctor Anderson told trustees the district has relied on Huddle Up because of a shortage of in‑person speech‑language therapists and that the provider supplies virtual therapy to students in grades 3 through 12. The district said it had previously used two vendors and has moved some staff off the supplemental vendor as the Huddle Up service solidified.
Trustees asked whether an RFP was required; administrators said the purchase qualifies as sole source under district policy. The motion to approve the contract carried on a unanimous roll call vote.
