Summary

The committee questioned a social‑worker services contract (~$82,000), confirmed 23 bean‑bag chairs were purchased for one building, and heard a report of $2,571 month‑to‑date sponsorships with the year‑to‑date sponsorship figure read aloud but unclear in the transcript.

During the purchasing portion of the meeting, board members asked about a variety of routine procurement items and sponsorship revenue.

A board member asked how many bean bag chairs had been purchased for Westover; staff answered 23 chairs. Members also questioned a purchase labeled 'Social Worker Services' from Healthcare Associates LLC for 'professional educational services' and asked whether that represented an annual amount or a per‑item cost. A district presenter said the line represents contracted agency services and that the figure discussed is about $82,000.

On district leases and sponsorships, the committee noted an RW JB Arena rental for $4,000 and thanked named sponsors (Automotive Avenues, Cuts for Kids, Kingdom, Wang Orthodontists). The presenter reported month‑to‑date sponsorships of $2,571; the year‑to‑date sponsorship figure was read aloud but the transcript rendering was unclear and is therefore reported here as not specified.

Board members confirmed that some software or service contracts are district contracts but that costs may be broken out by location in the ledger. The committee held public comment to the end of the meetings and did not take final purchasing votes at that time.
