SubscribeSummary
Three firms originally proposed a regional study for the joint operating committee; SREB withdrew, leaving two vendors (SiteLogic and PACTA/PAC). Trustees asked the district to host public vendor presentations and will decide on procurement after hearing both proposals.
The board discussed the status of a regional study being coordinated through the joint operating committee (JOC). Three vendors initially responded; the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) withdrew, leaving two firms under consideration (SiteLogic and a bidder identified as PAC/PACTA). Trustees said they will invite both remaining vendors to make public presentations at a JOC meeting so trustees and the public can compare proposals before the JOC or board makes a decision.
Trustees discussed cost‑allocation and noted the district would pay a fraction of the total study cost (members referenced a roughly $30,000 regional study total in discussion) and that the study is intended to provide options rather than a single mandated model. Administration said the presentations would be scheduled when both vendors are available and that the meeting would be an open public session.
