Maroa-Forsyth board approves MOU with 'DPS' for student transport pending edits

The Maroa-Forsyth CUSD 2 School Board voted 5-0 on July 28 to approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with "DPS" to provide student transportation to another facility, with the board noting the agreement is subject to edits and review by both boards. Board member Feinstein moved the measure and Board member Zuniga seconded it; the board recorded a roll-call vote of 5-0 in favor.

Board members did not expand the transcript acronym "DPS" during the meeting and did not provide further operational details in the public minutes, such as the number of students affected, routes, or start date. The motion as recorded: "Motion by Feinstein, Seconded by Zuniga to approve the MOU with DPS for student transportation purposes to another facility. (pending edits and review by both boards Roll Call Vote - Motion Carried 5-0 in favor)."

The action was taken during new business. The minutes state the MOU approval is contingent on pending edits and review by both boards; the board did not record additional follow-up tasks, assigned staff, or implementation deadlines in the public minutes. Questions about the identity of "DPS," the logistical details of the transport arrangement, and any fiscal impacts were not specified in the minutes and will require follow-up with district administration.

The motion was recorded during the meeting held at Maroa-Forsyth High School's library; the meeting was called to order at 6:05 p.m. and adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
