14.B.2. Request Approval to Renew an Agreement Between Lynwood Unified School District and Swing Subs to Provide Back-Up Certificated and Classified Substitutes from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 (Consent Item)
Rationale:

The administration requests approval to renew agreement between Lynwood Unified School District and Swing Subs to provide back-up certificated and classified substitutes from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

The District maintains a pool of both certificated and classified subs; but at times, the existing pool is not able to satisfy the number of substitute requests. Additionally, substitute recruitment has been particularly challenging and we have an increased need for certificated substitutes as we work to provide additional adult supports for students due to more in-person instruction. Swing Subs will be able to provide additional support to ensure better staffing at school sites.

The contract will not exceed $80,000.00.
