Piedmont board approves IT, audit and compliance-training contracts
Summary
The board approved renewal contracts for Arrow IT (E-rate access points), SMB CPAs (audit) and a $1,000 agreement with Vector Solutions for required staff compliance tutorials.
The board approved several vendor contracts included on the agenda under business items.
For IT infrastructure, the board approved a renewal with Arrow IT for access points used across classrooms and facilities. The presenter said the arrangement uses the federal E-rate discount program (60% E-rate, 40% district share); the agenda text cites $49,141.31 in one place and the motion references $29,141.31 from the general fund, a discrepancy noted in the meeting record. The board approved the contract.
The board also renewed its audit contract with SMB CPAs and Associates for the 2025–2026 audit year; the administration said the firm is on the state-approved auditor list and recommended continuing with the same vendor.
Finally, the board approved a $1,000 agreement with Vector Solutions for required compliance tutorials (bloodborne pathogens and other training). Staff said Vector is more user-friendly for teachers and that the district saw insurance savings tied to Vector’s training in the prior year.
All three motions were approved by roll-call votes during the meeting.
