Board declines to replace stop signs after vendor lighting test fails

Apr 28, 2026

After AV-Tech's experiment to control stop-sign light brightness failed, the board decided not to purchase timer-equipped signs and to leave the existing signs in place; prior costs for four signs were reported at $9,280 ($2,320 per sign).

The full story

District Operations Manager Shane Willis reported that AV-Tech tried an experiment to control the brightness of the stop-sign lighting but it was unsuccessful, and therefore the vendor would not modify the stop signs. Willis noted that four stop signs previously cost $9,280 in total—$2,320 per sign—according to the unaudited financial statements. The Board chose not to expend funds on replacement signs and decided to leave the existing signs as they are.
