LET'S MOVE TO ACTION OR SORRY, TO PUBLIC FORUM ITEM NUMBER TWO.
MICHELLE, DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS FOR PUBLIC FORUM TODAY? OKAY, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CARDS.
[III. Superintendent's Message ]
WELL, I WANT TO WELCOME EVERYBODY BACK FROM SPRING BREAK.WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FAST AND FURIOUS END OF THE SEMESTER.
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING.
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE BOARD.
WE HAD AN HEB VISIT FOR TWO REASONS.
ON THURSDAY, WE HAD THEM VISIT TWO PRINCIPALS.
AND TERESA MCCUTCHEN, WHO'S AT SPRING CREEK ELEMENTARY, IS ALSO ONE OF THE FIVE FINALISTS.
I'M FROM MY STANDPOINT, EVERYTHING WENT SO SMOOTH.
THEY WENT WITH TO THE BOARD, AND THEN THEY HAD ABOUT HALF A DOZEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT INCLUDED PRINCIPALS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND OF COURSE, COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO INTERVIEW.
AND JUST FROM EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN THAT.
THERE'S NO WAY, IN MY OPINION, THAT ANYBODY'S GOING TO TOP THIS BOARD.
SO, I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON A JOB WELL DONE.
AND THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BOARD THAT YOU ARE.
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO ITEM FOUR.
ITS AGENDA ITEMS LOOK LIKE WE'RE PACKED FULL OF CONTRACTS FOR THIS SESSION TODAY.
BUT ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS AGENDA ITEMS FOR BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
[IV.A. Information Items]
ACTION. I'M SORRY. INFORMATION ITEMS. A NUMBER ONE IS TO RECEIVE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONTRACT RENEWAL REPORT FOR MARCH.AND I SEE MR. MARK BOOKER HAS JOINED US AT THE PODIUM.
TO MARK MILLER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
TO DR. LOPEZ, WE HAVE BEFORE YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THE MARCH CONTRACT RENEWAL REPORT.
COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BOOKER OF THE REPORT? PRETTY STANDARD.
ANYBODY FROM THE BOARD HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS ITEM? IF NOT, THANK YOU, MR. BOOKER. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM A TWO REVIEW JANUARY 2024.
I THINK ARTURO WAS INTRODUCED TO US AT THE BOARD MEETING.
IS THIS YOUR FIRST FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING? WELL, THIS IS THE SECOND ONE.
SECOND ONE. OKAY. THIS IS A SECOND ONE.
WELL, I SLEPT THROUGH THE FIRST ONE, SO IT DIDN'T I DIDN'T CATCH IT ALL, BUT NO.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN MILLER, BOARD TRUSTEES, AND DR.
LOPEZ, I PRESENT TO YOU THE JANUARY 2024 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
AS YOU CAN SEE ON PAGE EIGHT, WE'LL SEE THE PERCENTAGE SPENT OF THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS AT 54%.
THE RULE OF THUMB THAT WE USE IS TO JUST SEE IN WHICH MONTH WE ARE.
IT IS 58% THE BENCHMARK WE'RE USING.
SO, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN THE, THE BENCHMARK.
THERE ARE SOME GRAPHS ON THE NEXT PAGES.
BUT THE ITEM THAT I WANTED TO EMPHASIZE TODAY WAS THE PAGE NUMBER 18.
[00:05:07]
THE FISCAL YEAR, WHICH IS JUNE 30TH.YOU MIGHT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.
OKAY. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THEN WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST CHART WITH THE 54% YOU'RE CHARTING, YOU SAID THE 58%.
IF EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FULLY SPENT WITHIN THE BUDGET ITEMS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO 58 AND 54.
CORRECT. SO, WE HAVEN'T QUITE SPENT ALL THE BUDGETED ITEMS, WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL.
OR DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FIRST COUPLE OF PAGES OF THIS? HOW ABOUT ON THE ESSER REPORT? SO, ON THE ESSER, I'LL JUST CLARIFY AGAIN, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IT DOES SHOW A BALANCE, BUT ALL THOSE MONIES HAVE BEEN EARMARKED FOR SOMETHING TO BE SPENT BY THE DEADLINE.
CORRECT? OKAY. CHAIRMAN, MAY I REMIND US OF THE DEADLINE AGAIN? CAN I ASK A QUESTION REAL QUICK? YEAH, JUST ONE SECOND. REMIND US THE DEADLINE AGAIN.
OKAY. IN THIS MONTH TO THE EMPLOYEES WILL BE LOOKING FOR IS IT FROM ESSER TWO OR ESSER III FUNDS THAT THEY'LL GET THEIR, IT'S COMING FROM ESSER III, BUT THEY'RE GETTING THE BONUS THIS MONTH.
YES. IN THIS PAYCHECK ON THE 27TH.
ESSER III. MILLER. YES, MA'AM.
ON THE ESSER MONEY, KNOWING THAT WE HAVE A BALANCE.
DOES THAT MEAN? WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO SOME REQUESTS THAT WERE RECEIVED THAT WE DIDN'T DO? ARE WE GOING TO ADD NEW PROJECTS TO UTILIZE THIS BALANCE? HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT? SO NO, WE WON'T BE LOOKING AT REQUESTS RIGHT NOW.
OF COURSE, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS BALANCES AS OF JANUARY.
SO, THERE'S BEEN ONGOING PROJECTS.
YEAH. AGAIN. AND IN MY WAY OF THINKING, THE MONEY IS SITTING THERE, BUT IT'S EARMARKED.
WE ALREADY KNOW KIND OF WHERE IT'S GOING, AND IT'LL BE GONE BY THE 30TH OF JUNE.
SO, WE DON'T PLAN ON NOT SPENDING EVERY PENNY OF IT.
ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT WILL COME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? BOARD. OKAY.
THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM THREE.
CHRISTIE COOPER IS GOING TO COME HERE WITH THE JANUARY 2024 TAX REPORT.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. MILLER. BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DR.
LOPEZ. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS THE MARCH.
AT THIS TIME, WE'VE COLLECTED 96.94% OF THE 2023 BASE TAX LEVY.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
BOARD, ANY, I MEAN, COMMITTEE, ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD MEMBERS? THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
PRETTY STANDARD AGAIN. THANK YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THE SECOND QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT.
AND I BELIEVE RHONDA ROUNDTREE IS HERE TO TALK TO US TODAY.
YES. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN MILLER, PRESIDENT GRIFFITH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
DR. LOPEZ, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS AFTERNOON IS AN INFORMATION ITEM IS THE SECOND QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR, COVERING THE TIME PERIOD OCTOBER 1ST TO DECEMBER 31ST, 2023.
THIS HAS BEEN PROVIDED SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS OF THE POOLS, AND THAT YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT THE INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE POOL MIRROR THAT OF THE INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE DISTRICT.
THE FINAL DOCUMENT SHOWS INTEREST INCOME FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE'VE HAD 12.3 MILLION TOTAL, 5.6 OF THAT BEING IN THE GENERAL FUND, 3.5 OF THAT IN CAPITAL PROJECTS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU.
[00:10:03]
YES. COMMITTEE.JOHNNY BEACH, MR. ANDRE ON THE CHART THAT YOU SHOWED THE 68% IS IN OUR TEXT POOL, 32% BEING IN THE TEXAS CLASS.
YES, SIR. IS THAT NORMAL PERCENTAGES THAT WE NORMALLY DO IN THOSE TWO POOLS? THAT IS MORE IN TX POOL THAN WE TYPICALLY HAVE.
WE HAVE TYPICALLY PURCHASED INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND HAVE LETTERED OUT THE PORTFOLIO.
WE HAD A MEETING RIGHT BEFORE SPRING BREAK, AND WE HAVE PLANS TO DO THAT AS WELL GOING FORWARD.
THAT SHOULD HAPPEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THAT WILL BE PROBABLY PUSHED OUT TO SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER AS WELL.
WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE PORTFOLIO WILL LOOK MORE LIKE 30% SECURITIES, 30% IN EACH OF THE POOLS.
SAYING THAT ABOUT THE PERCENTAGES.
AND I WAS NOTICING ON THE OTHER CHART IS HOW OFTEN CAN YOU MOVE MONEY AROUND, OR CAN YOU MOVE MONEY AROUND? I CAN MOVE MONEY AS OFTEN AS WE WOULD LIKE IN THE INVESTMENT POOLS.
WHEN I PURCHASE INVESTMENT SECURITIES.
EXCUSE ME. WE TYPICALLY LEAVE THOSE UNTIL MATURITY.
HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD BE JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER.
GENERAL FUND IS SITTING AT ABOUT TWO POINT 277 MILLION.
WE TYPICALLY DO NOT GET BELOW 100 MILLION IN THE POOLS.
SO, IF YOU TAKE A TYPICAL PAYROLL IS $40 MILLION A MONTH.
WHEN YOU LADDER THAT OUT, THAT DOESN'T GO MUCH BEYOND SEPTEMBER, ACTUALLY.
AND WE CANNOT GO OUT FURTHER THAN A YEAR WITHOUT COMING BACK TO YOU ALL FOR APPROVAL.
WHEN DO YOU NORMALLY GET THE FORECAST AS FAR, OR DO YOU AS FAR AS INTEREST RATES? YOU KNOW, I, I LOOK AT THE SAME THINGS THAT YOU LIKE, BUT I GET ALSO DAILY REPORTS AND INTEREST RATES, OF COURSE, AS YOU WOULD HEAR ACTUALLY, EVEN OF TODAY, WE ARE IN A DECLINING INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT.
SO HAVING ALL OF THE MONEY IN POOLS.
AND RIGHT NOW, THE POOLS ARE MORE LIKE FIVE, THREE, FIVE, FOUR.
AND INTEREST INCOME IS LOOKING VERY WELL.
I THINK THAT WE WILL EXCEED INTEREST INCOME THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO LAST YEAR.
LAST YEAR WE WERE AT 3.2 MILLION OVERALL, AND THIS YEAR WILL BE CLOSER TO 14.
I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE JOB YOU'RE DOING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR, I APPRECIATE IT.
YEAH, WE'LL GO TO MR. GLICK. BUT JOHNNY, IN LINE WITH THAT, AS YOU KNOW, AT THE BANK, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING A LOT AT THE INTEREST RATE FORECAST.
FOR INSTANCE, PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE MARKET RIGHT NOW, THE BANKS, YOU'LL SEE THE THREE- AND SIX-MONTH CDS PAYING ABOUT 15 BASIS POINTS HIGHER THAN THE SIX, I'M SORRY, THE NINE- AND 12-MONTH CDS.
AND THEN YOU GO OUT PAST A YEAR, AND IT FALLS OFF EVEN MORE.
SO, THERE IS STILL THE EXPECTATION OF DECLINING INTEREST RATE.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY SOON AFTER THAT A LOT OF THAT MONEY WILL BE USED.
SO, WHAT IS THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIVE, ALMOST 5.6 THAT WE GOT AND THE 5.3? ON THE CHART.
ON THE CHART, THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 5.3, ACTUALLY, WE KIND OF STARTED AT A 5.3.
AND THOSE RATES INCLUDE BOTH TX POOL AND TEXAS CLASS.
THE ONLY COMMERCIAL PAPER EXPOSURE THAT WE HAVE IS THROUGH TEXAS CLASS.
BUT THE VARIANCE IS REALLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO POOLS.
AND WHAT THEY HAVE IS THEIR UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS.
SO, MR. DODDS, MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT BASED ON THE NUMBERS WE JUST HEARD, ALL OF OUR PROJECTIONS WILL INCLUDE THE POTENTIALLY UP TO $14 MILLION.
WELL, NOT 14 INCLUDES THE BOND INTEREST OF COURSE.
YEAH. SO HOW MUCH IS THE NON-BOND INTEREST.
NON BOND INTEREST SHOULD BE CLOSER TO 11.
YEAH. SO, ALL OUR PROJECTIONS OBVIOUSLY WILL INCLUDE THAT I'M ASSUMING.
[00:15:01]
YES. AS WE GET CLOSER, WE WILL ADJUST THAT IN THE BUDGET AND BRING THOSE CLOSER TO WHERE THEY ARE ON ACTUALS OKAY.I THINK THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW IS 8.5 MILLION FOR THE GENERAL FUND.
SO, WE WILL SURPASS THAT IN FEBRUARY.
YEAH. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? THANK YOU. COMMITTEE.
[IV.B. Action Items (Non Consent) ]
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE ACTION ITEMS. NON CONSENT.CONSENT. APPROVAL OF BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE 2023 2024 GENERAL FUND.

THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE LOCAL REVENUE AND FUNCTION.
51. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD MEMBERS. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, ELISA.
WE'LL GO TO ACTION ITEM B TWO.

IT IS A CONTRACT THAT'S BEING PROCURED THROUGH DUR, WHICH IS A COOPERATIVE THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO.
THIS IS JUST A NEW AWARD REPLACEMENT OF AN EXISTING CONTRACT.
THIS IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT WE HAD IN PLACE.
THE RELATED FIRM THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR CONTINUED PROVIDING THOSE SERVICES IS DICKINSON WRIGHT, AND WE HAVE A CONTRACT TERM OF ONE YEAR WITH FOUR ANNUALLY RENEWABLE OPTIONS.
THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT IS $110,600, WHICH IS PAID OUT OF GENERAL FUND.

WHEN IT'S TIME FOR RECRUITING, IT'S A NEW AWARD REPLACEMENT THROUGH A COOPERATIVE CONTRACT WITH A ONE YEAR WITH FOUR ANNUALLY RENEWABLE OPTIONS WITH A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $100,000.

IF YOU COULD PASS IT ON TO MAYBE RON GRIFFIN? BE HAPPY TO DO THAT, SIR.
THANK YOU. THE NEXT CONTRACT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THE PURCHASE OF VOLUNTARY BENEFITS IN THIRD PARTY. THIS IS UTILIZED BY THE DISTRICT'S PAYROLL DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS ALLOWING DISTRICT EMPLOYEES TO PARTICIPATE IN A BENEFICIARY PLAN. THE CONTRACT THAT WE ARE PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY IS A NEW AWARD REPLACEMENT.
THE COMPANY, TCG CONSULTING SERVICES AND FIRST FINANCIAL GROUP PROVIDE BEST VALUE FOR THE DISTRICT.
THE NEXT CONTRACT FOR CONSIDERATION.
THIS IS A CONTRACT FOR INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE AND SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE, WHAT WE CALL AN EXTENDED RFP.
[00:20:02]
THIS ALLOWS THE DISTRICT TO ADD VENDORS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF THE YEAR TO BE TIMELY IN MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL TEAM.THAT CONTRACT IS SUBMITTED BEFORE YOU.
IT IS RENEWAL AND THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT FOR THIS CONTRACT.
IT'S $1,501,000, WHICH IS BASICALLY THOSE SERVICES ARE COMING OUT OF 199, 211 AND 220 FOR THE FOUR VENDORS THAT WERE ADDED TO THE CONTRACT IS LISTED ON EXHIBIT A AGE OF LEARNING ALL PLAYERS AS DBA, RANK ONE EBSCO AT MINTUM, EXCEL LEARNING, SERVICE LEARNING AND SUMMIT K-12.
THOSE ARE THE THOSE ARE THE VENDORS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS CONTRACT.
THE CONTRACT IS BEING AWARDED TO BRIGHTLEY SOFTWARE TO ACCESS DUDE SOLUTIONS NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT WOULD BE $150,000, WHICH IS THE $50,000 INCREASE THAT IS PAID FOR OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
THE NEXT CONTRACT FOR CONSIDERATION.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DID ALLOCATE $3.1 MILLION FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW INSTRUMENTS.
THE NEXT TWO CONTRACTS BEFORE YOU ARE MODIFICATIONS OR INCREASES IN TWO CONTRACTS.
WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE CONTRACTS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
THE FIRST CONTRACT BEFORE YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS CONTRACT THREE 4520 DASH ZERO THREE THERE IS A MODIFICATION THAT WE ARE CHANGING THE AWARD FROM MUSIC AND ARTS DBA GUITAR CENTER TO GUITAR CENTER STORE DOING BUSINESS AS MUSIC AND ARTS.
THAT WAS JUST A CORRECTION IN THE IN THE VENDOR NAME.
THE DISTRICT IS RECOMMENDING A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT $1,235,000.
THAT WOULD BE PAID OUT OF 90%.
651 THE EDUCATIONAL STABILIZATION FUND.
THIS IS THE THE THE SECOND CONTRACT.
EXCUSE ME. THE FIRST CONTRACT IS FOR THE MODIFICATION OF AWARD.
THIS IS THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THROUGH EPC AND T TO ACTUALLY PURCHASE THOSE INSTRUMENTS.
ORIGINALLY, WE WERE ASKING FOR 1,235,000.
THIS CONTRACT, WE'RE ONLY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 500,000 OUT OF THE 651 FUNDS.
WE DID PROVIDE QUOTES TO OBTAIN THE BEST VALUE FOR THE DISTRICT'S MONEY.
I THINK THERE'S A MISPRINT ON PAGE 5151 DOWN AT THE FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE.
WHERE IT SAYS IT'S AN INCREASE IN LOOKS LIKE.
I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT.
LET ME BACK. WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO CONTRACT 345 20-01, 345-20-03 ON PAGE 51.
IT'S GOT THE FINANCIAL IMPACT NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT.
ORIGINAL AMOUNT WAS 1,235,000.
THE INCREASE IS 2,000,600,000 OR SOMETHING.
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, THE COMMA IS IN THE WRONG SPOT, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A PERIOD.
YEAH. BEFORE WE VOTE ON THAT, I THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT.
WE'LL MAKE THAT I UNDERSTAND I SEE IT NOW.
WE'LL GET THAT CORRECTED. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. RESTATE PLEASE I THINK I THINK THAT'S FINE ARTS MATH.
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WISHING FOR.
GET IT. YOU KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEEDS.
WE'LL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU WITH THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
WELL, I COULD MAKE THE CORRECTION.
AND WE'RE ADDING INCREASING $500,000 TO THAT CONTRACT.
SO, THE 2,000,002, WHATEVER, SIX IS THE NUMBER WE CAN SCRATCH OUT.
WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS, WE CAN SCRATCH THAT OUT.
NO, NO, IT'S WE'RE ADDING 2 MILLION, 600,000 TO THAT FOR A TOTAL OF 3.8 MILLION.
[00:25:06]
AND SO THIS IS WHAT THIS IS, IS INCREASING THAT AMOUNT, AND THAT IS MONEY THAT WE'VE ALREADY MOVED OVER INTO CAPITAL PROJECT FUND.SO THAT'S WHY IT'S OUT OF 651 INSTEAD OF 199.
WE'VE ALREADY MOVED THOSE FUNDS OVER.
OKAY. LET ME LET ME REPEAT THIS COMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE.
YEAH. MR. GRIFFIN, LET ME REPEAT THIS AND THEN, OKAY, ASK THE QUESTION.
SO, THE ORIGINAL AWARD WAS 1,235,00? THE INCREASE IS NOT WHATEVER THAT NUMBER SHOULD HAVE BEEN, BUT IT'S 2,600,000.
SO, THE NEW AWARD AMOUNT IS 3,000,008 35.
3,835,000. AND IT COMES OUT OF THE 651 FUND 100%.
EVERYBODY CLEAR, MR. GRIFFIN? YES.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT AND OFFER A SUGGESTION.
WE WOULD DO A NEW BOARD SHEET ON THIS ITEM FOR OUR REGULAR BOARD MEETING NEXT WEEK, AND WE WOULDN'T INCLUDE IT IN THE CONSENT AGENDA.
WE'LL PULL IT OUT, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGES WHEN WE GO.
WHY DON'T YOU CONTINUE? THE NEXT CONTRACT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THE INCREASE IN AWARD AMOUNT FOR THE SERVING LINE REPLACEMENT FOR STUDENT NUTRITIONAL SERVICES.
IT'S THIS FIRST THREE OF ANNUAL RENEWABLE OPTIONS.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING SOME SERVING LINE MODIFICATIONS AT ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
MR. BOOKER, LET ME INTERRUPT YOU JUST A SECOND.
WHAT WE JUST COVERED WAS PAGE 51.
THE NUMBERS AS DISCUSSED, OUR NEXT PAGE IS PAGE 52.
AND IT IS ANOTHER INCREASE FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND SUPPLIES.
ARE WE OFF TRACK ON OUR PAGES HERE SOMEWHERE, OR DID I MISS SOMETHING? NO, SIR. THERE ARE.
THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT CONTRACTS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT REPAIRS.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES, SIR. I JUST I DON'T THINK WE REALLY COVERED PAGE 52.
I THINK WE WERE THE BOARD OR THE COMMITTEE ANYWAY, WAS FOCUSED ON PAGE 51 PREVIOUSLY.
SO WHY DON'T WE GO NOW TO PAGE 52, RIGHT.
AND RECOVER THAT ISSUE SO THAT IT'S RECORDED PROPERLY? YES, SIR. THAT WILL MOVE AND THEN WE'LL MOVE TO THE NEXT ONE.
THE ONE WE'RE REFERRING TO NOW IS THREE 4520 DASH ZERO ONE.
THAT ORIGINAL AMOUNT WAS 101,000,002 35, WHICH IS INCREASING $500,000, WHICH WOULD MAKE THE NEW NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT $1,735,000, WHICH IS PAID OUT OF THAT FUND.
OKAY. THEY MOVED TO THAT, THE ONE I INTERRUPTED YOU WITH.
THIS IS THE ELEMENTARY SERVING LINE, ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S UTILIZED BY OUR STUDENT NUTRITIONAL SERVICES TO CONTINUE MODIFYING ELEMENTARY SERVING LINES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. THAT AMOUNT IS 4 MILLION, OR THEY'RE ASKING FOR AN INCREASE OF 3,500,000, WITH A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $4,750,000.
THAT WOULD BE PAID OUT OF FUND 240.
THE NEXT CONTRACT FOR YOUR APPROVAL IS AN INCREASE IN AWARD FOR VIDEO STREAMING SERVICES.
THE SCHOOL SPECIALTY IS THE COMPANY THAT'S RECOMMENDED FOR AN INCREASE.
IT IS IN ITS SECOND YEAR FOR ANNUALLY RENEWABLE OPTIONS.
THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT ORIGINALLY APPROVED BY THE BOARD WAS $525,000.
WE ESTIMATE ANOTHER $145,000 TO CONTINUE THE PURCHASING THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE REMAINDER OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR, FOR THE NEW AWARD AMOUNT TO BE INCREASED TO $670,000 OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
[00:30:04]
THIS IS AN INCREASE ITS IN ITS FIRST YEAR OF TWO ANNUAL RENEWABLE OPTIONS.YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THIS IS FOR THE GRADES K-5.
THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR MATH AND INSTRUCTION.
IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE FUNDED OUT OF 14 STATE TEXTBOOK FUNDS.
THE $1,350,000 IS TO PREPARE THE MATERIALS THAT WOULD BE READY FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.
THE NEXT CONTRACT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A INCREASE TO MCGRAW-HILL FOR TEXTBOOKS AND DIGITAL MATERIALS THAT AWARDED VENDOR IS MCGRAW-HILL. ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S AN INCREASE.
THAT MONEY WILL BE COMING FROM THE STATE TEXTBOOK FUNDS.
THAT'S A $6 MILLION, SIX $6,000,623.89, OR $3 MILLION AWARD, WITH AN INCREASE OF 6 MILLION $623,899 TO MAKE THE NEW NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT $9,623,899.
MR. BOOKER. I MEAN, MR. GLICK. FOR MR. BOOKER. WE HAD A PRESENTATION RECENTLY ON THE NEW SCIENCE.
IS THIS WHAT THAT RELATES TO THE NEW SCIENCE TEXTBOOKS? WELL, THIS THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING IS FOR THE RESOURCES FOR SCIENCE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN K-12.
MISS SCHMIDT IS AVAILABLE TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL IF YOU NEED THAT.
MR. GLICK, DO YOU NEED ANY MORE? OKAY, OKAY.
THAT CONTRACT INCREASE THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE VENDOR IS FRONTLINE TECHNOLOGIES.
WE'RE ASKING FOR A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $80,000.
PRIOR TO THIS YEAR, THE CONTRACT WAS BELOW THE $75,000 THRESHOLD.
BUT THE INCREASE WOULD BRING UP THE NEW NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT TO $80,000.
SO WE'RE REQUESTING JUST THE APPROVAL TO INCREASE TO CONTINUE TO USE THAT SOFTWARE.
THAT'S USED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.
THE NEXT CONTRACT WE HAVE FOR YOUR APPROVAL IS FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES.
THERE'S A LIST OF COMPANIES THAT ARE BEING RECOGNIZED AND UTILIZED TO SUPPORT THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM WITH DIFFERENT SPECIALTIES AND PSYCHOLOGISTS, PSYCHIATRISTS, WHEN THE NEED ARISES FOR THOSE SERVICES.
