Dave, the district's facilities lead, and Justin, the new assistant facilities director, briefed the board on facilities operations. They said the district maintains 22 buildings covering about 70 square miles of district service area, approximately 300 acres of grounds and that the facilities team completed 3,508 work orders in the previous year. Staff said the facilities department includes 73 custodians and a skilled-craft group of carpenters, electricians, plumbers and HVAC technicians; staff noted in-house certifications and some city licenses for trade work.

Staff discussed capital outlay planning and recent and planned budgets. The presentation noted the district's capital outlay request for the 2025-26 school year is $5,800,000, the prior year outlay was $3,800,000, and the board previously approved about $9.5 million for additions and remodels at three elementary schools. Staff said better bidding and project planning saved about $265,000 on recent projects. Facilities staff also described project-management tools in use (FMX), energy-tracking and a completed Dover Hill project.

On finance items, Miss Thompson reported accounts payable of $1,834,647, reflecting three bill cycles in the period because of the district's December schedule. A motion by Mrs. Sherrick, seconded by Mr. Robertson, to approve accounts payable passed. Earlier in the meeting the board approved the consent agenda (motion by Mr. Weaver; second by Mr. Rotter) and the meeting agenda (motion by David Weaver; second by Mr. Robertson).

At the end of the public meeting the board voted to adjourn into closed session; the motion to adjourn to closed session was made by Mr. Robertson and seconded by Mr. Schroeder and was approved.

- Approve meeting agenda: motion by David Weaver; second by Mr. Robertson; approved.

The board also received routine financial statements showing revenue increases year over year and a reported reserve level of about 37% for the health plan; staff said local revenue was in the mid-40s percentage-wise of the district's revenue mix and that December tax receipts contributed a large portion of monthly revenue.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Joplin Schools Board of Education Meeting 01-28-25","oneSentenceSummary","Facilities staff outlined maintenance workload, staffing and capital projects; trustees approved accounts payable of $1,834,647, the consent agenda and other routine items and voted to adjourn to closed session.","taxTitle","JOPLIN SCHOOLS, School Districts, Missouri","taxId",38511,"location","Missouri","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6366960,"Joplin Schools board approves new district photography contract aimed at lower prices and digital packages",310,1763000,2073000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159257-2a91a014cadd302af078960caf134f31&start=1763&end=2073","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159257-2a91a014cadd302af078960caf134f31/thumbnail_1763000.jpg","/articles/6366960/Missouri/Joplin-Schools-board-approves-new-district-photography-contract-aimed-at-lower-prices-and-digital-packages","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6366960-88e660fd21214922e334417139ad3370/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164154&Signature=ikWWX~bR~pcrS0QUu9sjWjA1e9i~LKtTJa-oH4wjMkw5hJ7D-inYhxbWtouGJwipxUqz79zeCgv3EHpw4hIPB-UDq3mApaIaE-oF5W3OnzHn22Psii2m7lERaB8XG-J-5dRoJxi9VraqpsVxmgYt4okt1q0K8WrbVdOgCex~gmtdzG-bAF0Hi5X4UFtKvsgCRwZZWGv7W~TLVW-GBoFaWVnOrKrDaNV-yv22Z5Mna84mZmU5SpvrxOAjOtJVzgWF3NztidQQUC9PgCRsNterf9t6pNNr5X1L~bOZ4fO9XRnuT811nF9stheJmSkBMaJ2J4Easv5eNCx5P7Z3HZdsVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Joplin Schools Board of Education approved a contract with Wagner Portrait Group to provide PK-12 school photography, including a reduced-cost digital package, print packages and multi-family discounts. Staff told trustees the new package responds to parent feedback and is expected to reduce per-package prices compared with the district's prior offerings.

District staff said the procurement followed a 27-page request for proposals developed with input from elementary, middle and high school leaders and from parents. Staff reported a digital package is available for about $10 (compared with about $30 under the district's earlier package), and that an 8x10 and 5x7 package was similarly priced at roughly $10. The RFP also folded senior portrait services into the district contract, which had historically been separate, and it added a multi-family discount for households with multiple students.

Presenters said the recommended vendor, Wagner Portrait Group, agreed to product and pricing terms and will provide the student identification badges for secondary students. Staff said statutory/crisis contacts will appear on ID badges, including the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline, the local crisis center line and the Joplin Police Department non-emergency number. Staff also clarified the contract does not include sports photography.

The board motion to approve the Wagner Portrait Group contract was made by board member David Weaver and seconded by board member Miss Schroeder; the motion passed. District staff said commissions from photography sales will return to student activity funds.

Board member Mr. Robertson asked about the statutory requirement for items on IDs; staff answered that required crisis and local contact numbers (including 988) will be printed on secondary student badges.","The board approved a multi-year photography contract with Wagner Portrait Group after a 27-page RFP and community input; the package includes lower-cost digital and print options, senior portrait integration and student ID badges with crisis contacts.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6366965,"Joplin Schools board acknowledges top-rated CMAR for three elementary additions pending contract negotiations",130,1608000,1738000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159257-2a91a014cadd302af078960caf134f31&start=1608&end=1738","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159257-2a91a014cadd302af078960caf134f31/thumbnail_1608000.jpg","/articles/6366965/Missouri/Joplin-Schools-board-acknowledges-top-rated-CMAR-for-three-elementary-additions-pending-contract-negotiations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6366965-58d455b19b937f684e56d8efa063c9ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164154&Signature=IQprMI7WGhWsN1QF5LCgRmPwqncYNDFwH2WklNK-Z1jCiTNtiuy1IOGxxCcIuSK708xphBAMGmFUpYPRdmmebGAndczWFZHJPS0-J99EpF8c2mawhuoYyu1hfYGwfnxLhsIMmSqOvUbfBaxdVCr3OBdiIj5aY-kjXhvOgcqadKqe4OTCu20rrYgQV2dMpaySSNVoJkEGv4IzPG3qpYw3hHrTtToXa~0s9zH1J0m8qUsvTl1f1K26tb~iLPDhy5WxDQUKJuJojbV~abwHiUmCRfEUmwY3aR3n7DpELtHlkjFWUEMMXUw54nXmGYVpSGd5zYQZeL0UWiSTvt4GMULG2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Joplin Schools Board of Education on Jan. 22 acknowledged the district's scoring of a construction-manager-at-risk (CMAR) procurement for additions and remodels at three elementary schools and authorized staff to negotiate a contract with the top-ranked firm, identified in the district's rubric as \"Carlson,\" with final award contingent on successful negotiations and a future board award meeting.

District staff said the selection followed a two-round process. Round 1 narrowed six respondents to three based on qualifications. Round 2 combined an interview and a financial review: the district applied a weighting that allocated 50% for qualifications (round 1), then 30% to the interview and 20% to the financial proposal in round 2. Staff reported that Carlson ranked highest on the published rubric.

A motion by board member Mr. Hurd, seconded by board member Mrs. Sherrick, asked the board to \"acknowledge the scoring\" and to permit district officials to proceed with negotiation and contract preparation. The board voted to approve that motion; the district will present any final contracts for board action at a later meeting.

The item grew from the district's capital planning work; district staff told trustees the CMAR will be used for additions and remodels that district voters and the board previously funded through capital outlay planning. Staff also described the scoring team as including long-range facility staff, a selection/assessments team and a board member who participated in round 1 scoring.

The board did not approve a final contract at this meeting. Next steps recorded in the meeting record are negotiation and a future award meeting if negotiations are successful.","The Joplin Schools Board acknowledged scoring that ranked Carlson highest in the district's construction-manager-at-risk (CMAR) procurement for three elementary additions and authorized staff to proceed with contract negotiations; final award will return to the board for approval.","actionData","errors"]
