Board approves consent agenda and a sole‑source purchase for special‑education kits

The Cleveland Metropolitan Board of Education approved the meeting’s consent agenda and separately voted to adopt a sole‑source procurement resolution for special‑education instructional materials.

Consent agenda: The acting chair called for approval of the consent agenda (minutes of the prior two board meetings and 11 resolutions spanning finance, operations, academics, culture and legal items). The roll call recorded affirmative votes in favor of the consent agenda; the chair announced that the motion passed and that the minutes and eleven resolutions were adopted.

Sole‑source resolution (10.01): The board took separate action on academic resolution 10.01, which authorizes issuance of a purchase order to Attainment Company for 36 vocational training kits, materials and web‑based training for low‑incidence and medically fragile classes and declares those items available only from Attainment Company as a single‑source provider. The contract amount was stated as not to exceed $57,025.08; because the purchase was declared sole source, the board made the finding required under Ohio law for single‑source procurement.

Votes and procedure: The district clerk conducted roll call votes. For the consent agenda the chair reported the motion passed with the recorded affirmative votes. For resolution 10.01 the transcript records a roll call and the chair declared the motion adopted following the required two‑thirds finding.

What was not specified: The resolution text (beyond the title) and the procurement contract terms were available in the board packet but not read in full on the record in the meeting transcript excerpt. The transcript identifies Ohio Revised Code sections as the statutory basis for the two‑thirds sole‑source finding during the vote discussion.
