Coconino County Accommodation School District board schedules second public hearing on instructional time, approves vendors and legal representation
Summary
At its Aug. 5 meeting in Flagstaff, the Governing Board approved a second public hearing on the 2024–25 Instructional Time Model for Sept. 4, ratified nine FY25 sole-source vendors, authorized an asset-disposal procedure, and accepted terms for legal representation by the Coconino County Attorney's Office.
The Governing Board of the Coconino County Accommodation School District met in person in Flagstaff on Aug. 5, 2024, and approved several administrative actions affecting the upcoming school year.
Chief Education Officer Dave Dirksen asked the board to hold a second public hearing on the proposed 2024–25 Instructional Time Model and proposed holding it before the next regular meeting. President Cheryl Mango-Paget approved the request; the hearing was scheduled for 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2024. The hearing provides an additional public-comment opportunity before the board considers final action on the model.
Director of Business Services Erin Tutay presented nine sole-source vendor requests the district seeks to retain or renew for FY25, citing limited availability or existing system integration needs. The vendor list the board approved includes JC Floor Care; Synergy (Edupoint); Magnum, Wall, Stoops and Warden; Infinite Visions; Executech; Performance Staffing; Terra Birds; Quality Connections; and Edmentum. President Mango-Paget approved the FY25 sole-source vendors as presented.
Ms. Tutay also described the district’s FY25 asset-disposal approach and said staff may use a letter to facilitate disposal of surplus items. The board approved the FY25 asset-disposal form allowing the administrative process to proceed.
On legal services, Mr. Dirksen explained the district annually receives a letter from the Coconino County Attorney’s Office outlining terms and conditions for legal representation. He recommended the board accept the county’s terms and identified himself as the district’s official contact for the County Attorney’s Office. President Mango-Paget approved the legal representation arrangement for FY2024–2025.
Other routine business included brief program and operational reports: Mr. Dirksen noted outreach to place items on the Western Navajo Agency Council agenda and the approval of John Taylor as a math teacher at Ponderosa High School; Principal Les Hauer summarized staff training and coordination with FUSD Food Services; AOI Coordinator Emily Morton reported July enrollment and an Aug. 7 orientation; and Director Phelps’s special-education summary was provided by Mr. Dirksen. The board approved minutes from July 10 (board meeting and public hearing) and special meetings on July 25 and July 31.
Before adjourning at 9:49 a.m., board members scheduled a special meeting to approve vouchers and requested a future agenda item to report on funding from IN2. The board’s next regular meeting is Sept. 4, 2024.
