7. Action Item: Approve waiver of Pre K Tuition for employees with students attending the Pre K program
Presenter:
Yolanda Hawkins
Description:
The district has historically charged tuition for all students who did not qualify for free PreK. To improve employee morale, it was discussed to waive this tuition for any students whose parents/or guardians are employed by the district beginning with the 22-23 school year. The current tuition charge is $350.00 per month. This offer is not extended to families of employees, it is only for students whose parents/guardians are employed.

10. Action Item: Consider outsourcing Janitorial Services
Presenter:
Darrian Dover
Description:
As the Board is aware, we have had a tremendous problem in staffing our janitorial department as well as retaining staff once they are trained. We have not had a full staff the entire school year. In light of the administrative burden of training and processing new hires so frequently and the inability to keep our buildings clean with the reduced staff, we polled several schools regarding the outsourcing of this service. The reviews were mixed but all those polled said they would not bring the services back in-house. We made several contacts but only found one vendor that seemed to fit our needs and this vendor is a TIPS vendor. They toured our facilities and gave us the attached estimate. The contract is year to year with the only financial obligation resulting from not renewing the contract is the remaining cost of the equipment. The cost is approximately $50,000 more than our existing payroll/supplies but in order to master the staffing issue, we would need to raise our compensation scale if we kept it in-house. This increase would equate to almost the amount of the increase from outsourcing.
