Summary

Following a closed executive session on RFP responses for a commissioner search firm, the State Board voted to submit a technical evaluation to procurement and schedule an in-person follow-up meeting; the motion passed 9-0 with one member absent.

The State Board of Education recessed into executive session on Nov. 13 to review responses to a request for proposals for a commissioner-search firm and returned with a motion to submit the technical evaluation.

Vice Chair (transcript: speaker S20) read and moved the motion: "It is moved that the technical evaluation for the commissioner search for the firm RFP from firm RFP be submitted to the Office of Procurement and Contracts with the following evaluation of each bid." The motion included a qualitative rubric and assessments of bidder experience. The motion was seconded and adopted with a recorded 9-0 vote (Betty Arnold was absent from that vote).

The board scheduled an in-person follow-up for the coming Tuesday at noon to review additional financial materials and continue the selection process; the vice chair and board members indicated the meeting would likely include another executive session with a possible vote afterward.

No vendor names or scoring details beyond the rubric text were released in the public portion of the transcript; the board indicated only members who had executed nondisclosure agreements and designated staff participated in the executive session.
