Johnson County board approves Frontier Health MOU, ClassDojo contract and Canon copier renewals; HR policy changes adopted
Summary
During its June 11 meeting, the Johnson County Board of Education approved a one-year MOU with Frontier Health for behavioral health counseling, a three-year ClassDojo agreement (total stated at $7,500), Canon copier contracts and TSBA-recommended HR policy changes on second and final reading; all votes recorded as yes by present members.
The Johnson County Board of Education approved multiple contracts and policy updates at its June 11 meeting, including a memorandum of understanding with Frontier Health to provide behavioral health counseling from Aug. 1 through July 31, 2027; a three-year contract with ClassDojo for a unified elementary-school parent communication platform; renewal and upgrade contracts for Canon copiers on the state contract; and TSBA-recommended human-resources policy changes on second and final reading.
The Frontier Health MOU was described as a continuation of an annual partnership providing additional counseling services in schools. The board also discussed the ClassDojo contract as a parent-requested move to a single platform; the contract total was stated during discussion as $7,500, with a $5,000 charge in the first year and $2,500 in the second year (the third-year breakdown was not specified in the meeting record). The presenter said the ClassDojo platform will sync with the district’s Skyward system to import parent contact information.
Canon copier renewals were presented under a state contract with funding sources identified in discussion as a mix of general-purpose and school-level funds; the presenter explained that some schools elect to upgrade their current machines while others will have contracts renewed. The human-resources policy packet was presented as largely TSBA-recommended changes, with two items (bus safety/conduct and personal communication devices) noted as principal-originated proposals; the packet was approved on second and final reading.
All motions reported in the meeting passed on roll-call votes with the five responding board members recorded as voting yes: Miss Brown, Mr. Grever, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Walker and Mr. Long. Several board members praised Frontier Health staff and described the ClassDojo platform as a requested convenience for families; specific staff names were noted in discussion but those individuals were not on the meeting agenda as presenters.
Next steps: the ClassDojo contractual approvals and copier contracts were noted to require county commission processing where applicable; the Frontier Health MOU will be implemented for the August start of the school counseling year.
