Summary
The Germantown school board approved $311,179 to replace classroom display panels at Farmington and Riverdale elementary schools; district staff said the funds are budgeted and the purchase will replace 101 panels with a quoted savings of $50,000.
The Germantown Municipal School District Board of Education approved March 26 the purchase of classroom display panel replacements for Farmington and Riverdale schools for a combined cost of $311,179, covering materials and labor.
Board member Mr. Curry moved approval of the purchase; Mr. Ellis seconded. During discussion, district staff said the amounts are already included in the adopted budget but the board’s approval was required by the district’s approval-level policy.
District staff reported the vendor quotes break down to $248,698 for materials and $62,481 for installation and labor, and that the purchase will install 53 panels at Farmington and 48 panels at Riverdale. Staff also stated the procurement yields a savings of $50,000 compared with an earlier estimate.
Board members asked about lifecycle, potential repurposing of replaced panels and other logistics; staff responded on scope but did not identify uses for replaced units on the record. The roll call vote recorded yes votes from Mr. Ellis, Mr. Hendricks Jr., Mr. Curry and Vice Chair Strain; the motion passed.
Staff told the board the work includes removal of old panels and full installation; no contractor name or project timeline was provided in the meeting minutes.
