Finance committee seeks insurance quotes, discusses a formal bid calendar
Summary
Oxford Community Schools staff said they are soliciting insurance quotes and the committee discussed creating a recurring bid calendar to standardize procurement timing; no contracts or vendor names were recorded in the minutes.
At the Aug. 22, 2025 meeting, the Finance Committee discussed the district's procurement and insurance practices. Assistant Superintendent Mr. Fitzgerald told trustees staff are actively obtaining quotes from other insurance providers to compare coverage and rates; the minutes do not list provider names, quotes or implementation dates.
Committee members also discussed the idea of creating a calendar for bids that regularly recur throughout the year to provide predictable procurement timing and oversight. The minutes record the discussion but show no formal motion, timeline or assignment to implement a bid calendar at this meeting.
The discussion was procedural: staff are gathering comparative information and trustees raised the idea of a standardized schedule for recurring procurements. No public comment was recorded on these topics, and no purchases or contracts were authorized during the session.
