The Shelby County Board of Education work session on April 21 included a slate of contract recommendations and renewals across facilities, student services and instructional programs.
The board approved the meeting agenda by roll call (6 ayes). Staff presented recommended contracts including: YMCA of Memphis and the Mid‑South for before/after‑school childcare (tiered parent rates and a one‑year term with four one‑year renewal options); a YMCA Summer Learning Academy contract not to exceed $700,000; A and B Construction Company for Central High School roof repairs ($865,137.56); FieldTurf USA for a synthetic turf field at Southwind Stadium ($1,600,000); LAD Athletic Field Striping renewal ($481,600) for 27 middle and high‑school fields; a five‑year lease with Southwest Tennessee Community College for Medical District High School ($75,772.78 annually); a vehicle purchase for maintenance ($647,575.20); two boilers at White Station High School ($335,182); Vantage Learning LLC student licenses ($201,265) reserved for priority/CSI schools under grant funding; the after‑school Pursuit Center renewal ($320,000); and a three‑year contract with United Infolytics LLC ($939,313.50). Staff also recommended a $256,912.50 amendment to the Public Consulting Group contract to assist with Medicaid/IEP reimbursement processes.
During Q&A, board members asked whether parents must pay for YMCA services; staff answered that some parents pay while others receive vouchers based on income. On the FieldTurf project, staff discussed scheduling installation while school is in session and said work typically begins after contract signing. For the PCG amendment, staff explained the district expects Medicaid reimbursements to exceed $1,000,000 and the consultant fee is paid as a percentage of funds recovered (staff stated 18% of recovered reimbursement goes to PCG).
Most items were presented as recommended to the board; the agenda vote was recorded in the work session. Several items will proceed to the business meeting or are being implemented per contract terms.
