The board may enter into personal service contracts, as determined to be in the best interest of the district, to carry out its responsibilities and duties in governing the district and accomplishing the district’s educational goals and objectives. Such contracts are exempt from statutory bidding requirements.
“Personal service” is defined as a performance for remuneration by an individual on a specified contractual basis of specialized professional or consultive expertise germane to administration, maintenance, or conduct of governmental activities which require intellectual or sophisticated and varied services, dependent upon facilities, invention, imagination, or a specific talent which the district cannot itself provide or accomplish.
The district must publish, within fifteen (15) days of entering into any personal service contract, the parties, amount, and a one-sentence purpose for all personal service contracts over ten thousand dollars ($10,000) annual payment, regardless of what fund the contract moneys are derived from. The publication must be in a newspaper of general circulation within the geographical area wherein such personal service is to be performed.
