Brandon Valley School District board approves bills and claims including Chromebook and construction payments
Summary
At its regular meeting the Brandon Valley School District Board approved the agenda, minutes and multiple financial items, including a listed $143,098 Chromebook purchase and several large construction payments. The board also approved routine business and personnel items.
The Brandon Valley School District 49-2 Board of Education on an evening in August approved the agenda, the minutes of the July 21 meeting and a slate of bills and claims that listed several large technology and construction payments.
Board chair opened the meeting and asked for a motion to approve the agenda; the motion passed unanimously. The board then approved the minutes of its July 21 regular meeting and took up bills and claims presented by Mister Lundberg (district staff). “Tremendous amount of bills and claims presented to you guys in this board meeting,” Lundberg said as he read items from the packet, including a line for “High Point Networks, 232 Chromebooks for a $143,098.”
Lundberg also listed a payment entry shown on the agenda as “PESCA construction payment number $111,228,348,” described in the packet as about 50% complete. Other listed payments included $96,480 to Midstates Audio Incorporated for a high school commons video wall installation, $144,445 for districtwide workers compensation through First Dakota Indemnity, and $92,299 for an elementary site project (Sunshine Avenue/Birkwin Elementary School). The board approved the bills and claims after brief questions about technology life cycles and project progress.
A district staff financial report reviewed cash and investment balances described in the packet: receipts and expenditures for the period and line items for the general, capital outlay and special education funds. The packet lists specific totals and account balances (as shown in the meeting materials) and notes upcoming certificate of deposit maturities.
The board also approved routine consent items labeled in the agenda as items 1–12 (general business) and personnel items 1–24; both motions passed by voice vote. No roll-call tallies identifying individual votes were recorded in the transcript; the chair stated the motions passed after members answered “Aye.”
