Little Miami board approves multiple contracts, including five-year ProVision bus-camera agreement
Summary
The Little Miami Board voted to approve a slate of contracts for services including special-education providers, ESC partnerships and a five-year ProVision bus-camera and GPS system for the district fleet; the ProVision contract drew discussion about cost and necessity before passing.
The Little Miami Board of Education voted to approve a package of contracts covering special-education services, cooperative educational services and a five‑year ProVision bus-camera system for the district fleet.
Board members approved agreements with providers and partners listed in the meeting packet, including Applied Behavioral Services, Grow Together, Gifted Health, cooperative arrangements with Hamilton County ESC and Warren County ESC placements, and a rental arrangement for Tabitha’s Closet. The package also included an administrative-guideline service from NEOLA.
The packet’s final item was a five‑year contract with ProVision for cameras with GPS and live‑feed capabilities to be installed on buses. Board discussion acknowledged the system’s lifespan and fleetwide application and recognized concerns about cost and necessity. The motion to approve the listed contracts carried on roll call (Mr. Siever: Yes; Mrs. Bullock: Yes; Mrs. Horvath: Yes).
District materials describe the ProVision system as a fleetwide camera solution with GPS, live-feed and recording functions; the contract was presented as a multi‑year investment in student and driver safety. The board previously discussed the item at an earlier meeting and at least one trustee said they had voted against the proposal prior to receiving additional briefings.
Other agenda items approved during the same section included a $100 donation to the food-service department earmarked to help address negative meal-account balances, and routine personnel approvals.
The board’s approvals mean the listed contracts will proceed under the terms outlined in the meeting documents. The district did not provide a detailed, itemized public cost breakdown in the meeting record; board members indicated further operational details and implementation logistics will be handled by district staff.
