Palmdale Aerospace Academy District board approves food-service piggyback, software purchases, ratification and one expulsion
Summary
Trustees approved a piggyback contract for food services, authorized a PDQ device-management license purchase, ratified a payroll/position-control assessment contract, approved a clinical supervision agreement update, and in closed session approved the expulsion of one student.
At a regular meeting, the Palmdale Aerospace Academy District Board of Trustees approved several procurement and personnel actions, and in closed session approved the expulsion of one student.
Trustees voted to approve Resolution 2025-26 to allow piggyback purchasing for district food services from Sysco under the Public Contract Code piggyback authority. The district said the piggyback will allow food orders for the winter meal service schedule and other normal food-service needs.
The board also approved the purchase of a PDQ software license to support remote updates and security patches for district instructional devices. A district presenter described the PDQ product as a tool to push updates remotely, saving staff time and improving device security.
Trustees ratified a contract with School Services of California for a Position Control Assessment to support the district’s rollout of its new ADP payroll system and to align HR and business services before full implementation. The board also approved an update to a clinical supervision agreement for certificated staff (identified in the record as the clinical supervision agreement update for Miss Umbrane and Miss Bachram for the 2025–26 school year).
During closed session, by recommendation of Miss MacIsaac and a second by Mister Trujillo, the board approved the expulsion of student number 2025-2026-01. The transcript records roll-call affirmations: Miss Lee, Miss Gardner, Mister Trujillo, Miss MacIsaac, Miss Lopez and Miss Gugan each recorded an "aye." The board announced no further actions taken in closed session.
All open-session motions on the consent agenda, the piggyback resolution, PDQ license, the School Services ratification and the clinical supervision update were approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows motions made and seconded and the presiding officer called each motion passed.
