Board approves internet contract and displacement resolution tied to budget reductions
Summary
The board approved an internet-services contract (eligible for ~60% E-rate reimbursement) and approved a displacement resolution tied to budget reductions and declining enrollment; the vote was unanimous among members recorded on the transcript.
The board moved and approved two business items presented together: an internet contract using the federal schools-and-libraries (E-rate) program and a resolution concerning displacement due to budget reductions and declining enrollment.
District staff said the E-rate program (schools-and-libraries) can reimburse roughly 60% of eligible costs and that the contract is structured to take advantage of that funding stream. The board packet contains the text of the displacement resolution; staff said it aligns with an earlier presentation about budget reductions and listed 27 non-probationary teachers as affected in the materials referenced for the resolution.
The motion was seconded and the roll call recorded five affirmative votes: Mr. Chavis (recorded as approving), Mrs. Cole (yes), Mrs. Evansson (yes), Mrs. Heights (yes) and Mrs. Woods (yes). The board approved both items.
After the vote, staff announced upcoming meetings and then moved into a noticed executive session about legal advice on property use. The executive-session notice referenced "section 24-6-424AB, call a revised statute" (as stated in the meeting notice) and listed attendees that included board officers, the superintendent and senior staff.
