Votes at a glance: consent items, high‑school security cameras approved
Summary
The board approved the consent grouping (including an overnight soccer trip and the annual schools‑of‑choice resolution), authorized $25,926 in high‑school security cameras and approved other routine items.
The Lowell Board of Education on Feb. 10 approved a consent grouping of routine business and separately authorized security camera work at the high school.
Consent items: The board approved the consent grouping by voice vote after a motion from board member Jen with support from Jessica. The consent grouping included prior meeting minutes, payment of bills, an overnight girls' soccer team trip in March and the annual schools‑of‑choice resolution. Staff described the schools‑of‑choice resolution as the district's annual action to opt into Kent ISD's schools‑of‑choice rules and to participate in section 105(c) provisions permitting out‑of‑county students to enroll under schools of choice.
Security cameras: The board approved a staff recommendation to contract with Hillard Electric for new high‑school security cameras totaling $25,926 and granted authority to add additional cameras during the project at unit prices in the RFP. Jared moved the motion and it received support; the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff said funding for the high‑school camera project will come from a state security grant. The board and staff discussed that the project covers both exterior and interior cameras at the high school and that some of the district's existing cameras are aging. During the discussion staff said there are about two exterior and three interior cameras included in the initial scope, a staff estimate provided in the meeting.
Notes: Vote outcomes were recorded by voice and the transcript records "motion carries" for each item; no roll‑call tallies were provided in the meeting record.
