Board debates Campbell Psychological contracts amid concerns over elementary coverage and license fee typo
Summary
The board spent extensive time on two proposed Campbell Psychological agreements: members flagged language implying exclusivity, noted that elementary schools were removed from the service list, and found a fee typo (contract listed "$1" then "$10"); an amendment striking "$1" in favor of "$10 per month" passed, but the two Campbell items were separated from the consent list and not fully approved pending further review.
The administration presented a group of agreements that included two documents with Campbell Psychological: a license agreement for facility use and a memorandum of understanding covering mental-health services in schools. Board members questioned why the new agreements exclude elementary schools after elementary coverage had been discussed earlier and raised concerns the contracts included wording that read like an "integration" or "entire agreement" clause that implied exclusivity despite there being two separate documents.
Mrs. Booth and others pointed to an apparent fee error in the license: the clause reads as if the fee were "$1" and then later lists "$10 per month." A board member read the provision aloud and an amendment was offered to delete the stray "$1" and confirm "$10 per month" during the term, an amendment the board approved. Members also debated whether the district was getting fair consideration for use of space and whether a higher monthly fee would be more appropriate; a motion to change the fee to $100 per month failed. Ultimately the two Campbell items were pulled from the larger consent slate for additional solicitor and administration review and were not finalized at this meeting.
