Joliet board approves MTSBA subscription payment pending discount confirmation
Summary
Trustees approved payment for MTSBA (Assembly) modules and membership, noting the $13,794 total and asking administration to confirm a 20% modules discount before final payment; the motion passed unanimously.
Trustees approved payment for an MTSBA (Montana School Boards Association) membership and a set of Assembly platform modules, but directed administration to confirm a 20% discount on bundled modules before finalizing payment.
Administration presented a breakdown of modules (policy maintenance, communications, documents, meetings, planning and evaluation modules), explained some of the membership benefits (policy support, legal consultation and training) and said the grand total on the invoice was $13,794—about $1,900 higher than the prior year’s billed amount. The superintendent said the district received special introductory pricing the previous year and asked the board to authorize payment pending confirmation that the 20% modules discount would be honored.
Trustee Ken moved to approve the invoices pending confirmation of the discount; the board approved the motion by voice vote (recorded as 8–0). Trustees discussed usage of the modules and asked administration and Felicia (staff) to provide a clearer breakdown of services tied to each fee before final payment.
Next steps: administration will confirm the discount and return any necessary documentation to the board prior to submitting payment.
