Board approves $121,840.91 contract for English department novels
Summary
Board awarded a bid to BookPal to supply English department novels for the coming year, a routine annual procurement that bundles titles for classroom delivery and student ownership.
The Community High School District 99 Board of Education approved a $121,840.91 contract with BookPal to supply English department novels for the coming school year.
Nut graf: The district solicits bids annually to obtain competitive pricing and to have vendors box and label class sets for direct classroom delivery. Administrators said BookPal submitted the lowest compliant bid and has provided reliable service in prior years.
Presenters said most novels are given to students for annotation and that only rare or difficult-to-obtain titles are kept as checkout copies. The board approved the bid by voice vote (mover: Kara Casten; seconder: Chris Espinosa).
