Background:
In November 2020, Washington voters passed SB 5395 requiring the teaching of comprehensive sexual health in Washington Public Schools. To meet this requirement, the Middle School Health/Sexual Health Community Advisory Committee was formed. This 23 person committee was made of district staff, parents, and community members. The committee met 10 times throughout March, April, and May. This process included foundational work on background information and training on selection tools, vendor presentations, discussions, and a decision process resulting in the recommendation of HealthSmart Grade 5 and HealthSmart Middle School. Information will be presented for the first reading for Board adoption.
The first reading was approved on June 28, 2021.

Presenter: Tom Adams, Director of Student Services
Background: This is a wireless video recording system that automatically downloads bus video when the bus returns to the lot. Currently, the video recording system is a manual setup, which means someone needs to get on the bus, retrieve the drive and then download the video onto a computer and then take the video on a jump drive to the school or district office. The turnaround time on this process is between 48-72 hours. By adding the Safe Fleet system to 159 buses, we become more efficient, the turnaround time to get videos will be the same day and saves "manpower"/time. Having video available the same day allows the district to respond to incidents in a timelier manner. Safe Fleet is a sole source provider for the new First Student bus line. This is funded by categorical funding under the transportation stabilization funds the district has received. The Engineering Professional Services Wireless Proposal is included in the Safe Fleet quote. The total amount of this project is $144,371.90 including sales tax.
Presenter: Scott McDaniel and Tom Adams
Background: This quote of $407,420.29 is to purchase wi-fi modems and antennas on 159 transportation buses. This will allow students to access internet services from their school-provided devices while being transported to/from school and other activities. With the increasing emphasis on Internet resources and online curriculum, it is essential for students to have reliable broadband access for education. Utilizing Internet access on busses for homework or other educational purposes would provide effective and efficient use of this time. Cradlepoint has been formally bid through the WSCA-NASPO. Terms of the contract are governed by the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services 05819, executed as a Participating Addendum to competitively awarded NASPO ValuePoint Data Communications Products and Services Master Agreement AR3189. This was a competitive procurement that meets Washington's RCW 39.26. The district has an agreement with Washington to access the contract to receive discounted data communications services and equipment. This is funded through categorical funding - transportation stabilization funds. These funds may only be used for the transportation program. All costs for installation will be provided by First Student.
Background:
Board members will have an opportunity to add agenda items to upcoming board meetings.
