Board renews contracts, partnerships and approves early graduations
Summary
Hamilton trustees approved or renewed a set of contracts and partnership agreements — including a mental-health intervention contract (up to $37,584), a physical-therapy contract (up to $20,400), an adult-education MOU with a local pickleball provider, a VRBS partnership for Pre-ETS, and approved four early graduations.
At its meeting the Hamilton K-12 Schools Board of Trustees approved multiple contractual and consent-agenda items affecting student services and adult education.
Mister Jones summarized items on the consent agenda and noted that Roger Sparks submitted a retirement letter and was thanked for years of service. The board approved the consent agenda after a motion and second were called for.
Key approvals recorded in the meeting packet and by staff presentation include:
- A renewal contract for a mental-health intervention program that pays the district up to $37,584, reimbursed as students enter the program. Staff recommended approval as a renewal to continue supports for students’ self-regulation and return-to-classroom interventions.
- A contract for physical-therapy services to serve qualifying special-education students: 34 days at eight hours per day, paid at $75 per hour and capped at $20,400. Staff described this as a required provider service for eligible students.
- An MOU with Pickleball 406 LLC for adult-education pickleball classes: the district will take $10 per person per class and pass most fees through to the vendor; staff said the program is popular though it does not generate net revenue after employee credits and subsidies.
- Renewal of a partnership with VRBS to provide Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) that supports vocational skill development and allows quarterly reimbursement submissions to offset program salary costs.
- Approval of four students for early graduation under policy 24-10 after staff certified they had met requirements by the end of their seventh semester.
For contracts and MOUs, staff highlighted funding sources and reimbursement mechanisms (e.g., contract reimbursements and Pre-ETS funding). The transcript records voice votes and motions for these items; specific roll-call tallies were not specified in the meeting record.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract paperwork and continue program implementation; any changes to service levels or budgets will be brought back to the board as needed.
