Committee moves contracts, library purchases and donations to full board; voice vote approves sending items
Summary
The Education & Student Services Committee seconded and voice‑voted to move several items to the full board for approval, including a PCCD contract with GHR, library book purchases for multiple schools, donated book approval (1,332 books in memory of Eileen McAdams) and software/database renewals; the committee recorded 'Aye' and the items will be considered by the full board.
During the April 15 meeting, the Education & Student Services Committee voted by voice to move a package of recommendations to the full Centennial SD board for final approval.
Items the committee recommended to the full board included: the 2026–2027 PCCD contract agreement with GHR; library book purchases for Log College Middle School, Gayles Elementary and William Tennent High School; approval of donated books; databases, licenses and software renewals; and the professional learning plan for Pre‑AP English. A committee member moved approval, a second was recorded, and the committee responded 'Aye' on the voice vote.
Committee members asked for clarification on the timing of library book orders; staff explained librarians hold funds in arrears to purchase titles awarded by national bodies (for example, American Library Association awards released in February–March) to ensure availability. Staff also described a specific donation: an employee (Colleen Harris) is donating 1,332 books in memory of her mother, Eileen McAdams; staff said the books would be distributed as one book per K–2 student via library cycles and building communications rather than through summer packets and that the donation will be acknowledged in district communications.
Next steps: these items will appear on the full board agenda for approval; staff will provide any contract or cost details needed for the board vote.
