Agenda Review - August 19, 2016

The Pittsburgh Public Schools board held an agenda review meeting on August 19, 2016, covering various agenda items including education, business, and new business sections. A significant procurement-related discussion focused on the renewal of a two-year contract for coaching and training services to support board and administration development. The board discussed the contract extension, oversight responsibilities shifting to the board budget, and requested a progress report from the coaching provider to assess past achievements and outline future deliverables. The contract renewal aims to continue capacity building with an emphasis on improving governance and student outcomes. No other procurement actions such as contract awards or vendor selections were noted during the meeting.
