Board approves consent agenda including special-services contracts and City Year funding; two items pulled for separate votes
Summary
The board approved a broad consent agenda that included professional services contracts for special education supports (multiple vendors with caps), City Year funding, and the EasyRouting contract; items 3 (exceptional student services contracts) and 9 (dual-enrollment MOUs) were pulled and then approved separately.
The board considered and approved a consent agenda containing routine and substantive items, including multiple professional services contracts to support students with disabilities (Deaf Resource Center; Ochsner Home Health; Pediatric Services of America; Capital City Staffing/Arman Health Care) with dollar caps (examples: Ochsner Home Health up to $789,800; Capital City Staffing up to $801,900) funded by IDEA Part B where noted. Miss Soule moved the consent agenda; items 3 and 9 were pulled for separate consideration.
Item 3 (professional services contracts for exceptional student services) was read aloud and moved for approval; the board voted and the motion carried. Item 9 (memorandums of understanding for dual enrollment with BRCC, LSU and Southeastern) was also pulled and approved after recusal by some members. The consent agenda also included a City Year contract for $260,000 and a Center for High School Success contract for $157,861 (general fund). Board members asked questions about funding sources and implementation; staff confirmed funding lines for each contract as listed on the agenda.
