Summary

A trustee questioned a $68,000 expenditure on an online curriculum and requested the board be shown the materials prior to approving similar outlays in the future. Staff said the program is an existing contracted online option used at the district and offered to walk the board through the program and its use for online students.

An unidentified trustee raised concern that the board had not seen the content tied to a roughly $68,000 online curriculum expense and asked that the district provide copies of the curriculum before similar approvals. The trustee said, “if we're spending $68,000 on this, that we, as a board, never see this kind of curriculum,” and asked the district to present the materials for board review.

A staff member replied that the program in question is the district’s primary online program and that the contract had been approved previously; the staff member offered to walk the board through program components and how it is used by online students. The board and staff agreed to schedule a review so trustees can see the curriculum and ask follow‑up questions before future spending decisions.
