Board approves IJAG memorandum expanding program to grades 7–8 and applying program fee
Summary
The board approved an IJAG memorandum of understanding that formally extends the program to 7th and 8th grades for the coming year and applies the program fee structure; staff said this is the first year 7th/8th graders will be charged and that the MOU includes a $25,000 fee per program.
The Burlington School District Board voted July 13 to approve a memorandum of understanding with IJAG to continue and expand the program to 7th- and 8th-grade students.
Board discussion noted IJAG began at the high school 3–4 years ago and gradually expanded its grade coverage; staff told the board the contract contains the program fee structure and this will be the first year 7th- and 8th-grade participants are charged. In presenting the MOU, staff said "that same $25,000 fee per, program is included." The board discussed evaluation practices: district staff said IJAG employees are supervised by a former IJAG teacher and that the district provides annual input to employee evaluations.
Board members recommended the MOU be priced and scheduled for an upcoming OAC meeting before main demolition or renovation work; staff said bathroom demolition and other noisy/fume work would be scheduled during school breaks where possible. The MOU was approved by voice vote.
The transcript reflects the $25,000 figure in the presented document; meeting discussion did not provide further line-item budget detail in the record. Staff and the board affirmed plans for annual evaluation and ongoing coordination between IJAG supervisors and district leaders.
