The board values public input.  The responsibility of the board is to actively listen and reflect on public comments. The board may only discuss and act upon items included in 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.

The board requests that anyone who has submitted written public comments refrain from reading these comments during this portion of our meeting to give other community members an opportunity to share their comments.

Each person providing public comment will have a total of 3 minutes for a combined total of 30 minutes. Once called upon please step up to the podium, face the board, and state your name for the record. A bell will ring when your allotted time has ended.

The District advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Energy Savings Company (ESCO) services and received proposals from three firms with experience providing these services to other regional school districts.  Initially, staff requested Board acceptance of the recommended proposal in the February 27, 2023 Regular Board Meeting.  However, the capital needs and resources of the District have changed and staff believes these ESCO services will not be needed as initially thought.  The District did not enter into a contract with the apparent successful proposer and staff is recommending the Board exercise rights in RFQ Section VI & VII to reject all proposals received.
