Board approves consent calendar including CTE and contract items; trustees ask for more detail
Summary
The Long Beach Unified board approved the consent calendar (5-0) including CTE support funding and ELOP provider contracts; trustees requested a detailed breakdown of the $8,000,484 CTE allocation and a school-by-school list of agency contracts to be presented in October.
The board approved the consent calendar items that included funding to support career technical education (CTE) pathways and multiple provider contracts to deliver expanded learning and special-education services.
A trustee asked whether the roughly $8,000,484 in CTE funds would be equally distributed. Staff replied that the money would support CTE pathways at all comprehensive high schools and that final school-level allocations would be provided; "los más de 8000000, todas las preparatorias pueden esperar recibir fondos," staff said. Trustees asked for an online breakdown so families and schools know who receives what and how much.
On contracted services for special education and expanded learning (ELOP), staff said about $32,560,000 is the total for ELOP providers; individual contracts for each provider and school will be brought forward for board review at the Oct. 5 meeting. Members noted the size of the provider contracts and asked staff to include school-level assignments when the item returns.
The roll-call vote recorded a 5-0 approval of the consent calendar with Member López recorded as voting yes but noting exceptions for specific items where she wanted more information. The board will receive detailed contract lists in October as promised.
