Board approves consent agenda; members ask for corrections and clarity on consultant and entrepreneur contracts
Summary
The consent agenda passed by roll call. Members asked to correct the minutes, asked that missing pricing exhibit be attached to an entrepreneur contract, and discussed a Liberte educational consulting agreement providing about 13 days of co‑teaching professional development with consultant day‑rates discussed in the meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda by roll call after brief questions and corrections. One member requested a correction to the minutes (item 7) to fix an erroneous notation that an absent member seconded a motion. Another member noted the entrepreneur contract referenced an Exhibit A for pricing that was missing from the packet; administrators agreed to add the pricing exhibit.
Board members asked substantive questions about item 5, the Liberte educational consulting agreement, seeking clarity on scope and cost. Renee explained Liberte will provide co‑teaching professional development and that the model is intended as a "train the trainer" approach to build internal capacity. A board member asked about the math of the contract, noting "it's 13 days of co teaching or coaching or consulting" and estimating "about a 4,000 per day fee." Renee and Matt discussed typical consultant day rates and said consultants often run between $8,000 and $10,000 a day in some education contexts, while acknowledging the district believed the Liberte rate was reasonable.
Administrators said missing pricing exhibits would be corrected and that they would follow up on the minutes' correction. The consent agenda then passed on a roll‑call vote.
