Summary

During the budget and finance committee meeting, board members asked whether a listed $82,000 line for "social worker services" with InvoHealthcare Associates LLC represents annual contracted services or a program; staff confirmed it covers contracted services and noted agency hires were used for some positions.

Board members pressed district staff Wednesday about a purchasing-line item labeled "social worker services" tied to InvoHealthcare Associates LLC and a roughly $82,000 amount listed on the purchasing agenda. The question arose during the budget and finance committee meeting as the board reviewed contract lines and how costs are allocated among schools.

A committee member asked whether the line covered a year of services or a program; staff replied that it represents contracted services. One board member noted that some vacancies had been temporarily filled through agency hires earlier in the summer. The exchange clarified the $82,000 figure is for contracted social-work services rather than direct payroll hires. The purchasing agenda item will proceed with that understanding.
