Board authorizes some vendor payments on receipt and approves $100,000 health textbook purchase
Summary
The board authorized paying certain food‑service invoices upon receipt because a vendor changed payment terms, clarified line items (including a $53,000 summer feeding boxes item), and approved a $100,000 contract for health and wellness textbooks and online resources for grades 6–12.
The board reviewed the monthly finance packet, asked questions about multiple line items — including a $53,000 invoice described as summer feeding boxes — and moved to authorize routine bill payments for the month. Members specifically discussed a food‑service vendor that changed payment terms and will not accept the district PE card; staff explained the vendor now requires payment within days of invoice receipt, and the board voted to allow those payments on receipt rather than waiting for board approval at a later meeting.
Separately, the board approved a $100,000 purchase of health and wellness textbooks and online resources from Guart Willox publishers for grades 6–12 covering 2026–30. Both actions passed by voice vote (5‑0).
