MACCRAY board reviews strategic-plan proposals, requests vendor clarifications and accepts donations
Summary
Board members reviewed four strategic-plan proposals, asked staff to clarify on-site versus online options and whether student voices and three-community meetings were included, and approved several small donations by voice vote before adjourning.
The MACCRAY School Board reviewed four proposals for a district strategic-planning contract and asked staff to follow up with vendors to clarify scope and pricing before selecting a consultant. Board members also voted to accept several donations and adjourned the meeting.
During the RFP review staff summarized differences among the bidders, noting that some proposals included more on-site meetings and student engagement while others relied more on online surveys. The presenter told the board they had specified in the RFP that they wanted meetings in each of the district’s three communities and that student voices were an expected component of the process: "To me McCray is three communities. So when I say community meeting means we're going to do one in each," the presenter said.
Board members asked for clarifications on how onsite work, student participation and pricing would be implemented and asked staff to contact vendors for additional detail. One board member noted concerns about proofreading and responsiveness in proposals and requested staff follow up with vendors for clearer scopes and cost breakdowns.
Donations and votes: The board considered donations including $1,000 from the David Hill Memorial Fund to the Plain Dealer newspaper, $10 to the Metroparks, and memorial benches for the tennis courts/track. A motion to accept those donations was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote with recorded yes votes from board members present. The meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
What’s next: Staff will reach out to bidders with follow-up questions and present additional information at a future meeting so the board can compare on-site options, student engagement plans and pricing.
