Board approves $296,584 proposal for Farmington Elementary playground
Summary
The GMSD board approved a $296,584 proposal from Miracle for an on-campus, accessible playground at Farmington Elementary School.
The Germantown Municipal School District board voted May 19 to approve a proposal from Miracle of Kentucky and Tennessee to buy and install an on-campus playground at Farmington Elementary School for $296,584.
Board Member Christopher Curry moved to approve the proposal; Board Member Jerry Ellis seconded the motion. During the discussion members commended Principal Ashley Brasfield and Farmington parents for fundraising and leadership that brought the project forward.
Board members and staff highlighted accessibility features in the project renderings. "I want to thank Prespa Brasfield and her team for creating a playground that is inclusive of all physical capabilities," one board member said, noting the design intentionally supports students with different physical needs. The motion passed on a roll call with all voting members in favor.
The contract award in the meeting record names the vendor as Miracle of Kentucky and Tennessee and lists the approved amount as $296,584. Board members described the project as the result of a partnership between school leadership, parent volunteers and district facilities staff; the meeting did not specify a construction start date or timeline for completion.
The approval authorizes district staff to proceed with procurement and installation under the terms in the vendor proposal. Additional details such as installation schedule and site-preparation responsibilities will be finalized by the district's facilities staff and the school.
