Summary

Trustees discussed a proposed purchase of AP Calculus textbooks and resources from Sabas Learning not to exceed $107,000 from the general fund, and a board member reiterated that district logos may not be used for campaign materials without permission.

The board reviewed administrative and procurement items including a proposed textbook purchase and district branding rules.

Speaker S2 said the single action item on the agenda was procurement of AP Calculus textbooks and additional resources from Sabas Learning for a cost not to exceed $107,000 charged to the general fund. The transcript records the proposed purchase as presented; it does not include a motion text, a mover/second nor a recorded vote or final outcome in the excerpt.

Separately, Speaker S6 noted the district had been offered a $750 anniversary credit (described as a small discretionary amount) and said boards should decide collectively how to spend it. That speaker also emphasized district policy on logo use: "You need permission from the district to do so" and said the district does not permit use of FHPS logos in political campaigns, instructing anyone who has used logos to remove them.

Assistant Superintendent Haid and President Bauson are referenced in the transcript in relation to previous exchanges about valedictorian recognition and book-review emails; Assistant Principal DeStefano and other administrators were noted in follow-ups about honor-roll displays. The transcript does not record procurement contract signatures, formal vote tallies or final administrative rulings on the logo question in this excerpt.

Next steps and outstanding items: the textbook vendor and amount were specified in discussion; the transcript does not record whether the board approved the purchase on this date. The logo-use directive was stated as district policy and the board asked community members to remedy unauthorized uses.
