PUBLIC COMMENTS
Ms. LeAnn Hull, parent, spoke about Suicide Awareness and Prevention. Ms. Hull lobbied for a Bill that would allow
teachers to receive continuing education credit when they receive Prevention training. The bill was signed in to law by
Governor Jan Brewer on July 31, 2014.
Mrs. Pam Edwards, parent and member of the Superintendent’s Interfaith Advisory Counci, also spoke about Suicide
Awareness and Prevention and would like to see Prevention training provided to staff during in-service days.
Mr. Dana Edwards, parent, spoke about Suicide Awareness and Prevention and is advocating to bring Prevention training
to students so they are empowered to know what to do when confronted with suicide issues.
Ms. Agosta shared her sorrow for the loss of the Ms. Hull and Mr. and Mrs. Edwards children. She respects, admires
and thanks them for their courage and efforts to address this issue and keep our children safe. Ms. Agosta requested
the Superintendent to devise a plan to address this issue at our schools, possibly through the Superintendent’s Student
Advisory Council.
Maria Leyva, Deer Valley Education Association President, stated that DVEA leadership is being stymied and restricted
by the Administration at Deer Valley Middle School as to when and where they can meet with teachers. Ms. Leyva also
read a letter written by a teacher who is frustrated with the number of hours required to attend Systems Training for
new teachers and would like to see the training offered online.

Authorization to Enter into Additional Cooperative Purchasing Contracts for Fiscal Year 2014-15
Date assigned for Board consideration: January 13, 2015

None
A.R.S. Reference
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Description – It is recommended that the Governing Board authorize the Administration to purchase from
the attached list of vendors using cooperative purchasing contracts and develop miscellaneous blanket
purchase agreements for the 2014-15 Fiscal Year. This is a list of anticipated cooperative purchases for
Fiscal Year 2014. The list includes requests that are expected to arise during the year. By approving
these vendors and amounts now, we are able to process requisitions without delay. These are only
estimates and total purchases may be lower. If total purchases appear as if they will exceed these
amounts, we will request additional approval at a future board meeting.
Rationale – According to State Board of Education Rules and Regulations and District policy, the board
must approve all contract purchases over $100,000. In order to ensure continuity in the payment of
ongoing expenses, the Governing Board is being asked to authorize the Administration to proceed with
contracts to these suppliers as the need arises. From time to time, it may be necessary to come to the
Governing Board with additional cooperative purchase contracts not on this list.
Fiscal Impact – Funds for these contract purchases have been included in the District’s expenditure
budget for the 2014-15 school year.
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION –
That the Governing Board accept the Administration’s recommendation to give the Administration
Authorization to Enter into Additional Cooperative Purchasing Contracts for Fiscal Year 2014-15.

delegate the Associate Superintendent discretion to grant a minor easement for such purposes.
