The Palmdale Aerospace Academy Board voted to approve Gamut online, a third-party platform to host board agendas, policies and meeting documents, and to make those records searchable to the public.

A staff presentation demonstrated the platform's search functions and said the system can host current meeting documents, support an internal work area for staff and board collaboration, and publish packets that the public can access. The presenter said there is an additional fee to have the vendor upload historical documents and policies; staff estimated that fee might be roughly $5,000 but said they would confirm a firm quote and return with more information.

Board members asked whether the platform would allow departments to upload materials directly, whether documents could be staged privately before publication, and whether the public would be able to see archived materials. The presenter said internal login access is available for staff; a back-end space can be restricted to board and staff while published materials are public. "So the internal part is what we would log into to put them all in there, and then it's a live document once we publish it," the presenter explained.

A motion to approve Gamut online passed without recorded roll-call votes; the meeting record shows the motion and a second and that the chair announced the motion passed.

Staff said they will return with a formal cost estimate for historic document upload and next steps for implementation.
