Board approves $104,191.41 payment to Nerds Express for keyless-entry installations; staff explain card policies
Summary
The Westwood Heights School Board approved a pay request of $104,191.41 to Nerds Express for completed keyless-entry installations. Staff described the system's features and a $5 replacement fee for lost cards.
The Westwood Heights School Board approved a pay request for Nerds Express totaling $104,191.41 for work completed and reflected in invoice number 2. The motion was moved by Board member Miss Roberts, supported by Board member Miss Corbin, and carried on the record.
A staff member explained the invoice covers completed work at the high school, the administration building and McMonaco (an elementary or district site referenced in the record). The staff member said the keyless-entry system is on timers, records who badges in and out, and provides administrative district-wide access as appropriate. The system can be set to restrict access outside authorized hours and the district’s camera system records entries.
The district charges a $5 replacement fee if a staff member loses a key card; cards that fail are replaced at no charge. When a card is reported lost, the staff member is instructed to notify the building administrator and human resources so the card can be disabled immediately.
Board members recorded the pay request as approved; the transcript indicates the system is already operating at multiple sites and that staff view it as an additional layer of safety.
