Consent Calendar Organization Meeting Mar 4, 2025 - Special Meeting Category D. CONSENT CALENDAR Type BACKGROUND: The 2024-2025 Consent Calendar format has been changed to increase transparency and provide clarity on what the Board of Education is approving in consent. The consent calendar is now divided into categories based on the different type of items placed on the consent calendar. The categories for the consent calendar are: General Consent Items: These are items that require board approval that meet the criteria to be on the consent calendar from Board Policy 9322 which states, "Consent items shall be items of a routine nature or items for which no Board discussion is anticipated and for which the Superintendent recommends approval." Personnel Consent Items: Routine personnel items are placed in this section of the consent calendar. Finance Consent Items: All contracts that require board approval or board ratification are in this section, except for facility, retroactive, and sole source contracts. Facilities Consent Items: The district engages in a lot of contracts related to our facilities and facility projects as other agreements (i.e. accepting state grant funds). These items are separated out for visibility. Retroactive Contracts over 114,800K: Contracted services are not supposed to begin until an approved contract is in place. Retroactive contracts are in this section along with an explanation as to why it is being brought forward as a retroactive contract and how this will be prevented in the future. Sole Source Contracts: The district typically will engage in a competitive bidding process for contracts. However, there are times when sole source contracts are necessary. These contracts are in this section with an explanation of why they are sole source. MOUs (Memorandums of Understanding): The district establishes MOUs with other organizations, typically public or non-profit organizations, for various purposes. The Board of Education will take one action to approve the entire consent calendar which encompasses the categories noted above. File Attachments Subject 2.
