Board acknowledges end of governance-consultant contract with Dr. Cinta Ramos
Summary
Board members confirmed receipt of a final invoice and a termination/notice from governance consultant Dr. Cinta Ramos and voted to end the contract. Members said the work had helped focus the board but that the district has capacity to build on that work internally.
The governing board acknowledged the termination of the district's contract with governance consultant Dr. Cinta Ramos and accepted a final invoice presented as the consultant's final billing.
Vice President Lindsay Peterson said the work with Dr. Ramos "shone a light" on existing district strengths and that much of the student-outcomes-focused governance work was already being done within the district. Peterson moved to end the contract; another board member seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. A board member noted that per the contract some kinds of termination require written notice; district staff confirmed they had received correspondence characterizing the recent invoice as final and a notice of termination sent shortly before the meeting.
Board members generally praised the district's cabinet and staff for the work highlighted by the consultant and said they valued the focus the coaching provided, even where individual members preferred to continue internal efforts rather than a consultant relationship. The record shows no further action on consultant services at this meeting.
