Board approves Rocket Alumni agreement after questions about recurring costs
Summary
The board approved the Rocket Alumni Agreement after members asked whether recurring costs were budgeted; staff clarified the district will start with the vendor's —365 software, noted a three-year term, and described optional digitization fees.
The South Middleton School District Board voted to approve the Rocket Alumni Agreement after a board member pulled the item to ask whether recurring costs were included in the budget. A board member raised concern that recurring annual costs could be significant and cited a figure of roughly $4,500 as an example of the type of recurring expense the board wanted clarified.
District staff responded that the district intends to start with the vendor's —365 software product (not a specific kiosk), and that it chose a multi-year term. Staff said the vendor's standard annual charge for a single-year product had been referenced in prior materials as $49.99 and that a 20% discount figure had been discussed; staff also said optional digitization of older yearbooks would cost about $30 per book. Staff explained the service will be accessible via the district website and a mobile version rather than requiring on-site kiosk access.
After those clarifications the board moved and the motion to approve the agreement passed; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally for Item 11B in the captured segments. The board was told the item had been reviewed previously and the vendor was selected for ease of use and prior research.
The record in these excerpts does not specify the motion's mover or the final vote tally; it notes only that the motion passed.
