Call the Meeting to Order

Mary Velazquez called a meeting of the board of directors of Spokane International Academy to order on Thursday Mar 14, 2024 at 11:35 AM.

II. Approval of RFP for Transportation

A.

RFP Vote

Mary Velazquez made a motion to approve the transportation proposal from Harlow's.
Ken Vorhees seconded the motion.

Sam and Brook reviewed the two proposals received for SIA's transportation needs beginning in Fall 2024. Their recommendation to the board is to approve the proposal from Harlow's, SIA's current vendor. This is due mainly to the significant cost differential between the two vendors and SIA's budgetary restrictions.

The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.

III. Closing Items

A.

Adjourn Meeting

There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 11:46 AM.

Respectfully Submitted,
Mary Velazquez
