Board approves consent items including custodial services contract and personnel actions

At its April 7 meeting the Catalina Foothills Unified School District governing board approved the bulk of its consent agenda and took separate votes on pulled items related to personnel and high-school fees.

By voice vote the board approved minutes, expense vouchers, field trips, fundraising requests, acceptance of gifts and donations, a facilities division award to Concord General Contracting for a brick archway repair (estimated at approximately $28,310), and the recommended award of RFP26‑03‑31 for outsourced custodial services to Pro Cleaners LLC for a one‑year contract (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027) with a first-year estimated cost of $1,988,346 and options to renew for up to four additional years; funding sources listed included maintenance and operations, community schools and the Civic Center.

Personnel item 3.5 was pulled and approved separately after Superintendent Dr. Denise Bartlett introduced Mr. Sam Rolf as the board’s personnel appointment to assistant principal at the high school; the board approved the personnel memorandum by voice vote. The board also approved the second round of certified staff contract offers for 2026–27 as presented by Associate Superintendent Mindy Westover; administration said remaining hires will appear in monthly personnel memos.

The board discussed proposed high-school athletic and activity fees, confirmed that fee-waiver or reduction options are available in cases of demonstrated economic hardship and that families should contact counselors, coaches, athletic directors or principals for support, and ultimately approved the fee schedules for the 2026–27 school year.

All recorded motions in these items passed with no recorded opposition in the transcript excerpt.
