Board approves sole-source award for Center for High School Success using grant funds
Summary
The board approved a $12,500 sole-source award to the Center for High School Success at Stand for Children Leadership Center, to be paid from a grant supporting ninth- and tenth-grade work related to student success.
The J O Combs Unified School District governing board approved a sole-source purchase of services from the Center for High School Success at Stand for Children Leadership Center for $12,500, to be paid from a grant supporting efforts with ninth- and tenth-grade students.
Staff told the board the Center for High School Success is the recommended provider tied to a state grant; although the curriculum and training are not grant-mandated, the grant writer and funder had previously used the provider and recommended the sole-source selection. The amount — $12,500 — is a portion of a larger grant worth approximately $100,000, staff said.
Board approved the sole-source award 4–0. Administrators said the work will include staff training and supports aligned with other ninth-grade initiatives the district is piloting, and that grant funds cover the cost.
The motion approving the sole-source award appeared under action item 8.4 in the agenda.
