SUBJECT: May 10, 2004 Regular Meeting
ITEM:
Consider a resolution authorizing the CEO of Westlake Academy to enter into several contracts with the
Education Service Center, Region XI for services related to Westlake Academy.
RECOIY[MENDATIONS:
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 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.
Educational Technology, Distance Learning, Library and Instructional Media Services offers the
following services for members: (1)free access to licensed video-streaming(2)free campus placement of
licensed videos (3) free on-line information resources (4) free technical and planning assistance and (5)
discounted pricing on duplication of audiotapes.
The Service Center assists the Academy in PEIMS (Public Education Information Management System)
submissions through out 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.
A portion of the ESC contract provides school board members and superintendents access to all
continuing education activities for which school board training credit is awarded ESC Region XI.
An additional agreement will pay for the annual licensing lease for Win School. Win School is the
software that supports PEIMS, student records, nursing records, etc. This software is also supported
through the service center.
Total payment for the above mention programs will be approximately$26,200 which will be incorporated
into FY 2004-2005 Academy budget.
