I acknowledge that the geographical region of Camas is located on the ancestral and territorial lands of the Chinook and Cowlitz People, and that the Chinook are still fighting to be a federally recognized tribe on their own land.

The board values public input.  The responsibility of the board is to actively listen and reflect on the public comments. The board may only discuss and act upon items included on the written agenda.  For that reason, board members cannot respond to any comments or questions during public comment but can ask the Superintendent to follow up on issues raised during public testimony.

Guidelines for public input emphasize the respect and consideration of others.  Boisterous conduct will not be permitted at any meeting of the Board of Directors, nor will any harassing or threatening remarks be tolerated.  Complaints about individual employees should be directed to the Superintendent’s office as a personnel matter.

Each person providing public comment will have a total of 3 minutes.  Once called upon please step up to the podium, face the board, state your name for the record. The bell will ring at 3 minutes to remind you that your time is up.

Payroll Register for April 29, 2022 was $7,791,130.82.

Since the 1990’s the district has had three telecommunication tenants on the roof of Garver Theater, each with different terms.  We worked cooperatively with them during the Garver remodel to honor our pre-existing agreements and ensure telecommunication services were uninterrupted.  Recently we notified them of our desire to terminate these agreements at their respective expiration dates, the latest being August 2028.  Verizon has requested an extension to their existing agreement in order to secure a place to relocate their equipment. The amendment presented for Board consideration represents an extension to August 2028 at a substantially escalated rate to incentivize timely relocation of their equipment and provides added district protections to ensure the remodeled Garver Theater facility is adequately restored after equipment removal.  Staff is requesting approval of this lease extension to August 2028.

In March of 2020 when the students went remote, there was a lot of discussion about how to accommodate our students without devices. Camas was in a unique position to be refreshing the devices at the secondary level so we had 5000 chrome books on hand slated to be returned as part of the lease agreement. At that time an agreement was made to purchase those outright and distribute them to our Elementary students. Since then we have managed to extend the life of those devices by 2 years. They have been considered “end of life” and no longer supported by Google since September. The iPads in question had been purchased as pilot devices for primary grades 5 years ago and no longer work with all of the current versions of software. These devices are part of the Emergency Connectivity Funds (ECF) funding project for K-2 that will ensure every student has a device capable of remote learning if necessary. The money collected will help offset the costs associated with things not covered by the ECF dollars.

The iMacs are part of the previously approved CTE replacement project for the Apple Lab at Camas High school.

I’m asking for approval to surplus and remove these devices from CSD.
