Requested Information
I am writing to request public records under the Maryland Public Information Act Title 4. I am seeking information related to vendors and corporations providing services to Howard County Public Schools with an annual contract value of over $5,000 for the past five fiscal years. Specifically, I am interested in obtaining a spreadsheet containing the following fields:
• Vendor/Corporation Name
• Type of Service Provided
• Annual Cost of the Service
• Total annual funding allocated and spent for part-time and full-time contractual employees performing educational support professional work over the past five fiscal years beginning FY18 to date.
• List of all third-party vendors that have been utilized to provide full-time and part-time employment to contractual employees that perform educational support professional bargaining unit work over the past five fiscal years beginning FY18 to date.
Additionally, I am requesting the names of any private companies with which Howard County Public Schools has had correspondence regarding actual or possible Public-Private Partnerships. “Public-Private Partnership,” as used here does not mean collaborative contracts for articulation, but rather partnerships in which a “(i) a private entity performs functions normally undertaken by the government, but the reporting [government] agency remains ultimately accountable for the public infrastructure asset and its public function; and (ii) the State may retain ownership in the public infrastructure asset and the private entity may be given additional decision-making rights in determining how the asset is financed, developed, constructed, operated, and maintained over its life cycle.”
