Board approves budget revision, field trips, contracts and school events; awards $826,369 fire-alarm contract
Summary
Farmersville Unified trustees voted unanimously on a slate of routine approvals — including multiple school trips and events, personnel actions, a budget revision and a high‑school fire‑alarm contract awarded to MTech Telecom for $826,369 — and took no action on closed‑session labor and personnel matters.
The Farmersville Unified School District Board of Trustees on a unanimous vote approved a long list of routine and capital items, including a budget revision, several field trips and student events, multiple memoranda of understanding with partner colleges and agencies, and a contract award for a high‑school fire‑alarm upgrade.
The board voted 5‑0 to award a contract to MTech Telecom to upgrade the Farmersville High School fire‑alarm system, a contract listed in the meeting backup at $826,369. The board also ratified a Johnson Controls Fire Protection quotation for purchasing approved fire‑alarm devices and approved the final project cost statement for the high‑school central plant HVAC chiller upgrade (project no. 80‑08160).
Why it matters: the fire‑alarm and HVAC items are capital projects that affect high‑school safety and campus infrastructure and carry material price tags; budget and procurement approvals authorize district staff to proceed with awarded work and purchases.
