Summary

The committee agreed to move several contracts and operational items to the regular board meeting, including CISA 10 and CISA 11 shared‑services contracts, a district phone‑system replacement proposal (one RFP response from Heartland), 66.03 partnership agreements with Northwood, and monthly financials showing a $6,450,429.36 year‑over‑year cash‑balance increase.

The committee reviewed several operational items and agreed by consensus to place them on the regular board meeting agenda for formal action.

Dr. Banker reviewed proposed 66.03 shared‑services agreements (continuing partnerships with Northwood School District for financial manager and school nutrition services, and an increased library media specialist support allocation). The committee moved these agreements to the regular meeting.

Two cooperative purchasing/contracts items were also discussed. The CISA 10 shared‑services contract was presented as an annual renewal with no changes; CISA 11 was updated to add special‑education consulting and remove some school‑psychologist services.

Stephen presented a district phone‑system replacement proposal responding to an RFP that returned a single bid from the district’s current vendor, Heartland. He said licensing and hardware costs are increasing, the current licensing runs out in June and the recommended migration to a cloud solution (WebEx) fits the current tech budget and could be completed in the current fiscal year.

On finance, Dr. Banker reported a year‑over‑year cash‑balance increase of $6,450,429.36 attributed in part to timing of food services claims. The committee received the financial information and will place it on the regular meeting docket.

All items were advanced to the regular meeting for final action.
