Board approves substitute staffing agreements with outside vendors
Summary
The board approved service agreements to secure substitute employees: one vendor (Bright B) for custodial/paraprofessional/food-service substitutes and ProCare Therapy to supply substitute intervention specialists; board members said substitute staffing shortages motivated the contracts.
The Princeton City Schools Board voted Nov. 4 to approve multiple service agreements intended to help fill substitute staffing shortages. A motion to approve a services agreement with Bright B (to provide substitutes for custodial, paraprofessional and food-service roles) passed after brief discussion about the national substitute shortage. "As you know, it's hard to find subs everywhere," a district official said, explaining the purpose of the contract.
The board also approved a service agreement with ProCare Therapy to provide substitute intervention specialists for special education and related needs; board members said those roles are also difficult to staff and described ProCare as "another way" to fill essential positions. Both motions were moved, seconded and approved as part of the consent agenda process. The meeting transcript records the motions, seconds and roll-call agreement; no financial amounts or contract terms were stated in the public portions of the transcript provided.
The approvals were handled as consent items; the board did not discuss contract dollar amounts or vendor specifics on the public record during the meeting.
