IV. Discussion Items
A.
Outreach Education Service Fee- Update
Ilya Soroka updated the board on the Outreach Service Provider rate increase. The recommendation is to ratify a 2.99% increase as outlined in the letter. However, Outreach Education will not bill until the October FTE count is finalized, and any adjustments are made to the budget based on actual FTE funding.
B.
High School- DCPS Charter Renewal Letter of Intent.
It is recommended to approve the LOI for the High School Charter renewal with a request for a 15-year contract as outlined in new state legislation. Schools who receive an A in their renewal year are eligible/obligated for a 15 year contract with their sponsor.
C.
Proposals for Global - Discovery/K8 Fields
We submitted Requests for Proposals to GC's and contractors who have worked with Global in the past. RDM declined to bid. OM Innovation provided a bid and RDMs Site/Civil Contractor provided a bid as well. Both submitted bids were close in price for comparable scope items, however Vallencourt didn't have enough scope included and would need to sub out all additional services/scope. Outreach Education recommendation is to move forward with OM Innovation and negotiate a contract with them with the school's counsel and bank.
D.
2023-2024 Schools Audits
Tim Coleman presented and reviewed the audits for all three schools.
The district requires each school to have its own separate audit: Global Leadership Academy, K8 Discovery, K8 Intercoastal, and High School. All three schools received a clean audit, and all payroll and supporting documents were properly submitted.
Dmitriy Goncharov recommends reviewing and approving the August Financial Statement.
