The committee moved to forward items a through f from property and facilities, including purchases and contract recommendations for school sites and district facilities.
At High School North, the committee approved purchasing an aluminum coaching platform and athletic equipment paid for by Saint Luke’s for $8,009.93, and staff said continued research is under way to determine the best placement and electrical access for huddle cameras on the press box side.
The committee also approved contract recommendations listed in the packet for Bushville Elementary School and other sites. The packet lists a Trane boiler replacement for Bushville Elementary School (amount recorded in the packet as $1,000,002.78) and a sprinkler replacement for ESE from Keystone (amount recorded in the packet as $1,000,009.65). Staff noted the sprinkler bid intentionally excludes galvanized pipe and that the installed pipe will be Schedule 40 black pipe, as confirmed in follow‑up with site staff.
The committee reviewed and approved multiple CHA invoices and applications for payment listed in the packet, which include partial flooring and asbestos abatement invoices and payments to vendors such as Guyette and Lehigh Valley Flooring; staff presented line items and invoice numbers from the packet.
Education programs and resources: The committee recommended a three‑year renewal of MakeMusic Cloud for the music department; staff said the department has used the system for many years and is satisfied with it. The committee moved to forward the renewal recommendation to the board.
During discussion, a committee member asked whether to proceed with the High School North purchase or hold it pending placement research; Rich Lambert said, “No. We’re moving forward,” and the group confirmed the item would be forwarded for board action.
Ending: The committee voted to forward property and facilities items and the MakeMusic Cloud renewal to the full board for concurrence. Staff will proceed with contract steps and invoice processing according to the packet; individual contract award paperwork and vendor amounts should be confirmed in the official board packet and contract documents.
