The CBO recommends the board approve the 2025-26 Application for Title I Funding. This is a condition for applying for these funds which help provide reading and mathematics intervention services to students performing below grade level in these areas who are not receiving such services from our Language Support or Special Education teams. This funding totaled $418,762 in 2024-25. We expect at least this funding level in 2025-26.

The CBO and the Maintenance Lead recommend the board approve the A&B bid to replace the HVAC system over the conference room as Jackson Foster does not work on gas lines which need to be removed and replaced as part of this project. This roof is also being replaced so coordinating with the roofer and one HVAC contractor is preferred to coordinating with two HVAC contractors. A&B has been very reliable in the past and has done quality work for us in a timely fashion.
