Board hears updates on retirement ceremony, PFM contract, electric-bus request and cell-phone policy work
Summary
Committee members heard plans for an employee retirement ceremony on June 12, were told the PFM consulting contract is listed at an estimated $78,750 not-to-exceed figure, and requested future updates on an electric-bus pilot, a backpack initiative and the district9s cell-phone policy.
Committee members received several operational updates and requested follow-ups on multiple items.
Board members and staff discussed the district9s upcoming employee retirement ceremony, scheduled for June 12 at East Middle School; staff described planned remarks, honoree introductions and a reception. The meeting also noted a community bicycle rodeo on June 24 at East Middle School where helmets and bicycle-safety materials will be distributed.
Board discussion covered the district9s consulting contract with PFM. When asked about the PFM contract amount, staff said the figure listed is an estimated amount based on hourly rates and usage. The number on the agenda was read as "$78,750" and described as an estimated or base amount with additional hourly charges possible for extra work.
Board members asked staff to bring brief updates next week on several items: the status and effectiveness of an electric-bus initiative and the district backpack initiative, and progress on a cell-phone policy the board has been reviewing. No votes were taken on these items in the committee of the whole; staff said they will provide the requested information at future meetings.
There was also a brief introduction of the district's new associate board secretary, Emily Cunningham, during the meeting.
