provided is correct. Moving forward staff will request original copy of raw data directly
from the laboratory, not the testing company.
There was a discussion about the liability for the incorrect data.

associated legal fees and liquidated damages. Mr. Alm stated that the District could
modify the contracts to make provisions in case of termination. He stated that the
contract with Blue Sky was terminated for convenience and terminated immediately,
but if terminated for cause, the District would have more rights in terms of collecting
monies but could cause potential litigations.

Management District was clearly aware that Central San did not submit the falsified
data. Ms. Schectel stated that was correct.

Ms. Barnett responded that it was approximately $10,000 less. The increase is
because of the development of the new K-2 grade program and serving more
students.
Ms. Barnett provided a thorough explanation of the type of education programs
Central San will offer.
