Broward School Board unanimously approves contract amendment and multiple job‑description and organizational changes
Summary
At a special meeting the School Board of Broward County approved an amendment to an agreement with four firms, a revised senior security analyst job description, and changes to the superintendent's 2025-26 organizational chart after brief discussion and a question referencing a 2019 grand jury report.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida approved four administrative items at a special meeting: an amendment to an agreement with four firms, a revised job description for a senior security analyst, changes to the superintendent's 2025-26 organizational chart and an amended page of the superintendent's 2025-26 organizational chart.
The board approved the amendment to the agreement between the School Board of Broward County and EXP US Services Incorporated; RGD and Associates Incorporated; MEP Engineering Incorporated; and Hammond and Associates Incorporated on a motion moved by Dr. Zeman and seconded by Mrs. Rupert. The chair called for public comment and, receiving none, the chair announced the ayes had it and that item 1 was "approved unanimously." The transcript does not specify contract amounts, scope changes or other terms.
The board then approved a revised job description for a senior security analyst (item 2). The motion to approve item 2 was moved by Ms. Thompson and seconded by Dr. Zeman and passed unanimously; no public comment was recorded on that item.
The board approved changes to the superintendent's 2025-26 organizational chart (item 5) and later approved an amended page of that same organizational chart (item 4). There was limited board discussion on the amended page (item 4). Board member Mrs. Alhadeff asked about Ms. Paul's position overseeing both the facilities department and the building department and referenced the "2019 grand jury report" as background for concern about having one person oversee both areas. Dr. Hepburn responded that past problems stemmed from specific people not following job responsibilities and said the building department now reports directly to the chief operating officer, creating a higher reporting level and, in his view, improved accountability. Mrs. Alhadeff asked the board to keep "tight controls" to ensure compliance; the chair then called the vote and the item was "approved unanimously."
All items on the published revised agenda were approved without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. The chair announced the meeting was complete and adjourned.
