Administrators told the board they have been negotiating with Future Stars to run summer camp programming at district facilities and asked whether the board wanted them to continue the negotiations and permit pre‑contract advertising.
School leaders said they would not allow the outside camps to conflict with district‑run camps and emphasized that, in hiring counselors, Future Stars had indicated they would give priority to older local students. Multiple board members said the arrangement could be a "win‑win," providing community programming, employment opportunities for students and additional revenue to help the district’s budget.
Board members generally supported allowing administration to continue contract talks and to advertise the camps while negotiations proceed. No contract was approved at the meeting and board members requested updates before finalizing any agreement.
Why it matters: Leasing district facilities and hosting third‑party programs can provide revenue to the district while expanding summer programming, but the board must balance revenue with program integrity and scheduling for district camps.
What happens next: Administration will continue negotiations and report back to the board; the meeting record shows support but no formal vote to authorize a contract.
