School Committee approves $535,000 makeover of Hingham High auditorium and passes routine field trips, policy and grants
Summary
The Hingham School Committee authorized a $535,000 contract to upgrade lighting, sound and rigging at Hingham High School and approved routine out‑of‑state athletic and academic trips, a public‑complaint policy revision and a DESE world‑language grant at its Sept. 15 meeting.
The Hingham School Committee on Sept. 15 authorized the superintendent to execute a contract to upgrade the lighting, sound and rigging systems in the Hingham High School auditorium.
The district followed a formal bidding process and received a single bidder, Barbizon Sanibel. The committee voted to award the site preparation and installation contract and to pay the $535,000 project cost from the capital account, which the superintendent said had been previously budgeted.
The upgrade is intended to serve school programs, community events, town meeting and rentals; committee members noted the auditorium’s frequent community use and said improved sound and lighting would benefit school and town events.
