District to pursue Carlow University, Cal Ripken Foundation agreements for student programs
Summary
Administration presented agreements with Carlow University and the Cal Ripken Foundation for educational opportunities; one clause would let the district use its own background-check procedures (option I), and administrators said recurring costs would be minimal.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Dahl asked the board to consider a renewal agreement with Carlow University (for programs involving high-school students) and a potential agreement with the Cal Ripken Foundation that would bring curriculum and equipment to the intermediate school. She recommended the board initial option I in the Carlow agreement, meaning the district would apply its background-check procedures rather than adopt the partner's full set of contractual background requirements.
Dr. Dahl said most items the partners would provide are included at no cost and recurring expenses would be minimal — examples cited included small consumables and occasional replacement parts. She also said the partner typically provides warranty support and periodic equipment upgrades (every four years), and that initialing option I would simplify administrative procedures and rely on established district policies for screening volunteers and partners.
