MEMO
T®: President and Board of Directors, Westlake Academy
FROM: Barbara Brizuela, Head of School
DATE: June 26,2006
SUBJECT: June 26,2006 Regular Meeting
ITEM:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Head of School of Westlake Academy to enter into several contracts
with the Education Service Center, Region XI for services related to Westlake Academy.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND:
The Service Center for Region XI maintains many different programs to support Charter Schools in their
development and administration so that the schools are able to focus more of their energies on the
business of teaching. Following are the programs that we have used in the past and that we believe would
benefit the Academy:
The Business Service Contract allows the service center to perform the business and computer services
needed. Region XI will be responsible for performing the accounting functions for the Academy, in full
compliance with the TEA Financial Accountability System Resource Guide as well as processing
monthly payrolls. ($24,000)
The Service Center assists the Academy in PEIMS (Public Education Information Management System)
submissions throughout the year as well as training. PEIMS information is sent to TEA regularly but may
not come directly from the Academy and must be routed through the service center. We will also enter
into a PEIMS system maintenance contract. ($1,000)
The Service Center provides the licensure and support of Win School, the software used to track all
student information required by TEA including attendance, special education, student health records, etc.
Win School is the program that PEIMS pulls information from to submit to TEA. ($5,075)
Total payment for the above mentioned programs will be $30,075.00 which will be incorporated into FY
2006-2007 Academy budget.
