Board approves consent agenda, accepts director evaluation and OKs $25,615.46 change order for Arnold Elementary
Summary
The Cleveland City Schools Board unanimously approved the consent agenda, accepted Director of Schools Dr. Jeff Elliotts evaluation (overall 3.83 average) and approved a $25,615.46 change order for Arnold Elementarys parking lot after hearing that undocumented piping and city green-space requirements increased costs.
The Cleveland City Schools Board of Education on March 24 approved its consent agenda, accepted the director of schools evaluation and authorized a $25,615.46 change order for repairs and drainage work at Arnold Elementary.
Board Chair (name not specified) called for approval of the consent agenda; roll call by Alicia Wheeler recorded affirmative votes from Peggy Pesterfield, Jody Riggins, Nate Tucker, Renee Diamond, Matthew Coleman, Carolyn Ingram and Andy Lay. The chair declared the motion passed.
The board then reviewed an evaluation of Director of Schools Dr. Jeff Elliott compiled from one-on-one feedback. The board reported section averages of 3.71 for director/board relations, 3.89 for community relations, 3.81 for staff relations, 3.71 for finance and operations and 3.93 for instructional leadership, yielding an overall average of 3.83. A motion to accept the evaluation was moved and seconded and recorded as approved by the board.
The board also considered an amendment to the Arnold Elementary parking lot contract after Hal Taylor reported that during pavement removal crews uncovered underground piping that did not match the plans and that Clevelands local code requiring periodic green spaces will add cost. "The total change order on this would be $25,615.46; we have $10,000 in contingency, so this is an additional $15,615," Taylor said. He told the board the portion that runs into the city street was estimated at $7,770 and that the city had been contacted but was not prepared to take on the work. Board members asked clarifying questions about city participation and the urgency of proceeding to avoid remobilization delays.
A motion to approve the $25,615.46 change order was made, seconded and approved by roll call.
Next steps: the board approved the actions on the consent agenda, accepted the director evaluation and authorized the contractor to proceed with the Arnold change order as presented.
