Board approves purchases over $25,000 including storm-related roof repairs and curriculum review services
Summary
Trustees approved a consent-item list of purchases above $25,000 covering insurance-funded roof repairs, bond-funded security gates, grant-funded safety equipment and a curriculum/accountability subscription paid from general funds.
Keller ISD trustees approved purchasess exceeding $25,000 on Sept. 24 that the administration said were budgeted or funded from insurance, bond or grant sources.
Notable purchases listed in the board packet included: insurance-funded storm-related roof repairs at Central High School ($2.129 million) and Timber Creek High School ($1.214 million); installation of a secure access gate at the district agricultural barn paid from bond funds; a curriculum and accountability data-subscription to Education Resource Group to support district benchmarking and financial/academic analysis (general fund); and safety purchases including systems redundancy with Global Guardian and bidirectional amplifiers for several elementary campuses paid from grant funds. An HVAC repair at a natatorium was listed as a general fund expense.
Administrators explained that the large roofing contracts are covered by insurance proceeds and that several safety purchases are funded by grants so they do not reduce the district’s general operating budget. The board approved the consent item after the superintendent moved the purchases for separate discussion and trustees reviewed funding sources.
