The proposed $47, 900 contract with Playworks for recess programs came after the Travis School District contacted the Oakland-based nonprofit, school board members say.

Trustee Riitta DeAnda said parents had raised concerns about bullying and the contract, pulled May 13 by the school district staff from the board of trustees agenda, intended to address that issue.

Trustee John Dickerson said he spoke with Sue Brothers, director of curriculum for Travis, about the pact.
