During routine consent the board set aside two procurement items for further review after a member raised questions about sole-source claims and contract transparency.

A board member (recorded in the transcript as raising the concern) pointed to item No. 8, a proposed Bullseye LLC contract described in the district materials as a sole-source purchase for the Bullseye school-walkthrough platform. The member said the vendor described the product as a brand-name sole source — "Bullseye LLC is the sole source provider of the Bullseye School walkthrough platform in the world" — but that similar walkthrough platforms exist and some appear less expensive. The member asked district staff to provide competitive-market research and pricing comparisons before contracting.

The same board member flagged item No. 9, Curriculum Associates, noting the vendor's sole-source letter came from the company's president and that the contract did not detail services beyond subscription fees. "It does have the company's full account number, bank name, ABA routing number, and tax ID, which concerns me a little bit because we're planning to share student data," the member said, urging a staff review of data safeguards and a fuller explanation of competitor options.

Staff (SEG 15) acknowledged the questions and said they would follow up, consult colleagues (including the district attorney), and return the requested research to the board. The board voted to set both items aside and address them at a future meeting.

No contract awards occurred at this meeting; the items remain pending further review.
