Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved a $116,565 deferred-maintenance contract for carpet at Bridgeway Island, a $111,254.25 curriculum purchase (Cengage) funded by learning recovery emergency block grant, and $224,228 in nonpublic-school placements paid from the general fund.
At the March board meeting, trustees approved three separate action items involving facilities, curriculum and special education placements.
Facilities staff presented an informal bidding process for the Bridgeway Island phase 2 carpet refresh. The facilities director reported DFS Flooring was the lowest responsible bidder and recommended a contract totaling $116,565 to be paid from the deferred maintenance fund; the board approved the contract on a motion (all trustees present voted in favor).
For curriculum, staff asked approval to purchase English Learner/ELD materials for secondary grades 6–12 from Cengage Learning, with a fiscal impact of $111,254.25 to be covered by the district’s learning recovery emergency block grant; trustees approved the purchase.
On special education, administration requested approval for nonpublic school placements at Point Quest Education for three students for the 2025–26 school year, with a combined fiscal impact of $224,228 from the general fund (resource code 6500); trustees approved those contracts.
All three items were presented with funding sources specified in the staff reports and were approved following motions and seconds recorded on the meeting record; no individual roll-call tallies were read aloud in the transcript beyond unanimous "Aye" responses.
Trustees asked one procedural question about how staff support teachers moving furniture and paperwork during site refreshes and urged continued attention to streamlining logistics for site upgrades.
