PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE  

•II.                 APPROVAL OF AGENDA

Ms. Ngissah wants to add an agenda item: Consultant bought in to faculty meeting and the QUEIA process conflict. She has many teachers approach her regarding this issue. Teachers want this to go to QEIA.  The said consultant contract refers to cancellation of contract.

What budget did this come out of?  This has been asked many times and no answer has been given.  SSC needs to approve his expenditure.

Mr. Rhoads said that this could be brought up in the HEARING SECTION.

V.         HEARING SECTION

#1 Ms. Ngissah: We need answers about the consultant:     What money is being used to pay this? Why did this not go through SSC or the QEIA process?

Mr. Simpson: It has already been board approved and it couldn't be pulled.

Ms. Ngissah had contract from the consultant (see attached). Contract says they were paid in March. Where is this money to pay them coming from?  She said that this is a duplication of what Jeff Miller will already be doing.

Questions were asked about the voluntary meeting for staff with this consultant.
