Board approves two parent‑education contracts; funds from general fund
Summary
The board approved contracts to bring Victor Ríos and Lifehouse Educational Consulting Group for parent workshops and student supports; staff said the money comes from the district's unrestricted general fund and promised follow-up reports and evaluations.
The board approved two contracts to provide parent workshops and additional student support. Staff described a Scholar Series engagement with Victor Ríos (two contracts: parent workshops and student supports) and a separate contract with Lifehouse Educational Consulting Group for family workshops and advising; both were presented as pilot collaborations targeted to families who have historically received fewer services.
Staff emphasized the funding source: the work will be paid from the district's unrestricted general fund, not from restricted categorical funds. "De que cuando recibimos fondos sin restricciones, entra al lado del fondo general sin restricciones," staff explained while describing allowable uses and the plan to report measures of success to the board. Board members asked how participants will be selected and how outcomes will be measured; staff said they will provide evaluation measures and follow-up reports.
