Zion ESD 6 board approves contingent $684,479.46 virtual-instruction contract and a $30,996 MTSS platform
Summary
The Zion ESD 6 board approved a contingent contract with Proximity for virtual instruction totaling $684,479.46 if up to 10 FTE hard-to-fill positions remain unfilled, and approved a one-year LinkIt! MTSS platform purchase for $30,996.
At its May 19 meeting the Zion Elementary School District 6 Board of Education approved several instructional and software contracts, including a contingency agreement with Proximity for virtual instruction and a one-year purchase of an MTSS analytics platform.
The board approved a recommendation to contract with Proximity to provide virtual instruction for West, Shiloh and Zion Central. The motion, moved by Robert Surano and seconded by Denise Lear, authorizes a total contract amount of $684,479.46 should all 10 full-time-equivalent hard-to-fill positions remain unfilled by qualified certified teachers.
Separately the board approved the one-year purchase of the LinkIt! Assessment Management and Analytics Platform for $30,996.00. That motion was moved by Robert Surano and seconded by Denise Lear and passed by roll-call vote.
The motions were recorded as "as presented" in the open meeting; the transcript does not include contract documents or a breakdown of the $684,479.46 figure beyond the contingency condition tied to 10 FTE positions. The Teaching and Learning update earlier in the meeting included presentations about Proximity and the MTSS recommendation from Director Erik Youngman and coordinators Kerri Gilbert and Jen Sajovec.
The board also approved the final school calendar for 2024-25 and the first reading of multiple PRESS policy updates during the same meeting.
All recorded motions in open session passed by unanimous roll call of the four board members present.
