Summary
The Moreland School District board approved the federal Consolidated Application winter release, a deductive change order for playground construction reducing the contract by $22,205.65, and the consent agenda; trustees asked staff to follow up on several special-education independent evaluations.
The Moreland School District Board of Trustees approved several routine items at its Jan. 13 hybrid meeting, including the Consolidated Application (ConApp) winter release required for federal categorical programs, a deductive change order for playground work with Grama Construction Group that reduces the contract by $22,205.65, and the consent agenda in aggregate.
A staff presenter explained that the ConApp winter release is an annual certification of prior data and expenditures for federal programs such as Title I, Title II and Title III; board approval is required to certify the submission. A trustee moved to approve the ConApp winter release and the board voted in favor by voice.
On construction, staff described Change Order No. 1 as a deductive adjustment to the Grama Construction Group contract. The board approved the change order after a motion and voice vote. Staff stated the amount of the deductive change order as $22,205.65.
During the consent-agenda discussion, a trustee queried why there were multiple independent educational evaluations (IEEs) listed under consultant contracts for amounts at or below $125,000. Special-education staff said the items are related to special-education services and committed to provide more detail in the Friday report to the board.
The president reported no action had been taken in a prior closed session and the board moved to adjourn into closed session at the meeting’s end. Trustees penciled in Feb. 1 for a governance retreat and were asked to submit top agenda topics in advance.
