The proposed plan included the following project areas: • Half Cent Surtax –Annual Item • Referendum: Ad Velorum – Annual Item • Manatee Technical College • Employee Recruiting and Onboarding • Access Control • Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment • Ongoing Follow-Up Procedures 8

Page 3 Board Attorney Stephen Dye provided additional information and stated the past practice of including cybersecurity in the responsibility of Audit Committee came from a past board members request to have oversight of the company providing cybersecurity to the district. The Board engaged in extensive discussion regarding the scope, confidentiality, and administrative impact of the proposed audits on district staff. Board Members pressed that cybersecurity oversight involves highly sensitive operational details that should belong only under the direct authority of the School Board and be discussed only during confidential shade sessions. Also provided by Chief Technology Officer Scott Hansen, was the information that IT staff was undergoing concurrent baseline review with an external firm currently. Furthermore, members concluded that auditing employee recruiting and onboarding, while Human Resources was actively overhauling its workflow and implementing new process would be inefficient. As a result, the Board agreed to approve the statement of work as amended later in the meeting while explicitly deleting Cybersecurity, IT Access Controls and Recruiting/Onboarding from the audit scope and directing RSM to move forward with audits on District sales tax, millage and complete follow-up reviews. 9.2 Presentation of the Adoption Process, Including Review and Selection of Instructional Materials, for K-12 Mathematics Ms. Kaththea Johnson, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning, Ms. Alison Nichols, Director of Elementary Curriculum and Instruction, and Ms. Tiffany Spradling, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction provided a presentation including the following topics: • Statute and Policy • Grades K-12 Math Instructional Materials Adoption • Courses for Adoption Elementary, Middle and High School • Adoption Process • Math Adoption Timeline • Instructional Materials Adoption Committee • Family and Community Engagement The Board asked questions and held discussion regarding the adoption process and the necessity of replacing the material as required by the State. Board Member Choate raised concerns regarding the financial burden of replacing textbooks every five years—estimating costs between $5 million and $8 million per adoption cycle—given that state math standards have not changed since 2022 and questioned if existing physical materials remain usable. Additional information regarding the structure of textbook contracts was provided by Superintendent Breslin and Deputy Superintendent Jensen. It was clarified that costs of such contracts include consumables, non- consumables, as well as Digital Licensing of materials; to purchase gap year digital licensing and consumables, often costs near a re-adoption bundle cost. Mr. Tatem expressed confidence that the District would evaluate and choose the most cost-effective structure for curriculum as possible. 9.3 2026-2027 FAST Progress Monitoring 1 (PM1) Assessment Results - updated 10/ 5/ 2026 Derek Jensen and Mr. Evan McCarthy, provided a presentation regarding the 26-27 FAST PM1 Results including the following: • Testing Windows • FLDOE Family Portal Star Early Literacy, Star Reading, and FAST ELA 9
