Board approves $105,000 annual contract with Subject Technologies for virtual learning
Summary
After reviewing a pilot of Subject.com for grades 6–12 and comparing prior ESD costs (about $160,000), the board approved a direct contract with Subject Technologies Incorporated at an annual fee of $105,000 to operate a district virtual learning program, with existing local staffing retained to support students.
Board members reviewed a pilot of a virtual learning platform (Subject.com) and heard staff describe the pilot's extension into summer credit recovery and engagement gains. A staff member explained the district had previously spent roughly $160,000 with the ESD for the program and recommended contracting directly with Subject Technologies Incorporated. The staff member described the district model that pairs the vendor platform with a local teacher who provides check‑ins, parent communication and registration support.
The board moved to approve the contract and the Chair called for the voice vote. The motion carried. The approved contract was described in the meeting as an annual fee of $105,000; staff emphasized the district will retain the local teacher position to provide required check‑ins and special education/ELL services for enrolled students.
