The Silver Lake J1 School District board voted to change the district's regular meeting dates and to approve a managed-service provider (MSP) contract during Monday's meeting.
Calendar change: Board members discussed moving regular board meetings from the fourth Monday to the fourth Tuesday to improve community attendance. A motion to move the regular meetings to the fourth Tuesday of the month (unless it falls on a holiday or a conflict) was made, seconded by Amy, and approved. The chair said the change will begin in July and the district will update Neola policy language that currently references the fourth Monday.
MSP contract: After a tech-committee review comparing two quotes (K12 and CompuNet), the board considered a motion to approve a CompuNet contract as the district's Managed Service Provider for 2024–25. Board members noted CompuNet's more-detailed quote and the potential advantage of a more local vendor and discussed one-year contract flexibility and initial setup fees. The board voted to approve the CompuNet MSP contract; Julie had recommended CompuNet in her presentation earlier in the meeting.
Votes at a glance: both motions were approved by voice vote during the meeting. The transcript records the motions, seconding and the chair's call for the vote; individual roll-call tallies were not read on the record.
Why it matters: the calendar change aims to increase community participation and align with other local events; selecting an MSP may change the district's IT support, response times and short-term costs.
What's next: the district will update calendar references in policy documents and proceed with the CompuNet contract implementation for the 2024–25 school year.
