Summary

Administrators proposed a one‑year renewal for security camera software, a Title‑3 funded purchase of English learner benchmark kits, and a modest tuition increase at Hilliard Technical Center for sending districts; trustees asked clarifying questions but took no final votes on these items.

Jake (Speaker 3) presented a one‑year renewal for maintenance and support of the district’s security camera software to take effect Feb. 1 for 12 months; he said the vendor would not provide a shorter term and that multi‑year pricing required upfront payment.

Speaker 9 presented a purchase of 11 print kits of supplemental English language development benchmark materials, fully funded through Title III immigrant/LEP funds; the materials are print‑based decodable readers and teacher implementation cards.

An administrator (Speaker 13) proposed raising the tuition the district charges sending schools for Hilliard Technical Center from $2,250 to $2,500 next school year to better cover rising materials and equipment costs; trustees discussed regional comparisons and agreed the increase appeared modest given similar centers charge more.

No formal votes were recorded on these informational items during the meeting; items were presented for discussion and will return for future approval as needed.
