The Cleveland Metropolitan School District board approved resolution 9.01 to issue a purchase order to Panorama Education Inc. to acquire a teaching-and-learning survey platform (digital licenses and materials) as a sole-source provider, in an amount not to exceed $105,875.

Board documents and the chair referenced Ohio Revised Code sections 3311.75 and 3313.46 as the statutory basis for declaring the purchase a single-source acquisition. The motion was moved and seconded, the board took a roll-call vote, and the resolution passed by a 9-0 tally.

No additional debate on the Panorama contract is recorded in the public portion of the transcript. The administration indicated the purchase was being voted separately from the consent agenda because state law requires a two-thirds vote of all members to declare items sole-source.
