Summary
Trustees awarded a contract to replace first-floor carpet at the Beck Building, approved Bradley R. Edwards as Maltby grade-level principal, and directed staff to publish an RFP for fuel-tank removal and installation at the transportation facility.
The Brighton Area Schools Board of Education approved a package of facilities and personnel actions at its meeting, awarding a flooring contract, hiring a principal and moving ahead on a transportation fuel-tank replacement procurement.
Carpet award: the board accepted a low bid from Trist Creek Flooring to remove and replace the carpeting on the first floor of the Beck Building. District staff reported three vendors attended a mandatory walkthrough and two firms submitted bids. The winning bid was slightly more than $80,000; trustees voted to award the contract by voice vote, 7–0.
Principal hire: after a multi-stage screening and interview process involving 47 applicants, the board approved the hiring of Bradley R. Edwards as Maltby grade-level principal. Administration described a multi-round process that screened 14 candidates in person, invited six (five accepted) to a second round with staff, and held a final interview with the building principal and cabinet before selecting Edwards. Staff described Edwards as having 13 years as a Stockbridge principal and roughly 10 years of elementary-level experience; the board approved the hire by voice vote, 7–0.
Fuel tanks RFP: the board authorized publication of a request for proposals to remove two aging fuel tanks and install new tanks at the district’s transportation building. Administration said the RFP would be published immediately, with bids opened the week before the next board meeting; the district will bring the selected bidder back to the board for contract approval next month.
What this means: the carpet replacement is scheduled to proceed under the awarded contract. The principal appointee will be invited to a future meeting after board approval. The fuel-tank procurement is still in the RFP stage and requires a subsequent board vote to award a contract after bids are evaluated.
Votes: each of the formal votes reported in the meeting packet was unanimous (7–0) for the carpet contract and the principal appointment. The fuel-tank work will return to the board with a recommended bidder for formal approval.
