The board tabled action until the March 3 meeting and asked staff to provide contract comparisons and proposed payment amounts.
District staff reported that a wireless carrier has proposed siting a communications tower on district property near CT High School. Staff said the district has previously leased space for cellular equipment at other sites and that such leases typically generate recurring revenue for schools.
Board members asked for details on contract amounts and how revenues are distributed across schools; one member said Hurricane High receives about $1,500 per month on a comparable lease. Staff said they will obtain the contract terms, proposed payment amount for this site, and site plans and return with the information at the board’s next meeting.
