Palmdale Aerospace Academy board approves contracts, special-education policies and teacher laptop purchases
Summary
The Palmdale Aerospace Academy District Board of Directors approved a package of routine contracts, special-education policies and technology purchases at its meeting.
The Palmdale Aerospace Academy District Board of Directors approved a series of routine motions at its meeting, including a contract with School Services of California, the district's consolidated application for categorical funding, multiple special-education policies and the purchase of laptops for newly hired teachers.
The approvals are part of the board's regular consent and action agenda. The board voted to: approve the annual subscription contract with School Services of California; authorize the fall consolidated application (ConApp) that reports how Title I and Title II funds will be spent; accept the admission-enrollment lottery; approve identification and evaluation procedures for special education (Child Find); adopt procedural safeguards and complaint processes for special education; and approve purchase of teacher laptops for new hires per the district technology plan.
Two items were handled during closed session and reported out: the board approved a leave request for an identified employee and accepted an expulsion recommendation from the expulsion panel. The motions reported in closed session included the names of the board members who voted and were recorded as voting 'aye' for those actions.
